Move the macros to a single place and reduce the variations not based on
board, but based on
- The name of the entry-point function, specified by AP_MAIN;
- Whether it contains argc/argv arguments or not.
The goal here is that programs (vehicles and examples) don't need to
include all possible boards to define a main function. Further patches
will change the programs.
Instead of requiring every program to specify the HAL related modules,
let the build system do it (in practice everything we compiled depended
on HAL anyway). This allow including only the necessary files in the
compilation.
The switching between different AP_HAL was happening by giving different
definitions of AP_HAL_BOARD_DRIVER, and the programs would use it to
instantiate.
A program or library code would have to explicitly include (and depend)
on the concrete implementation of the HAL, even when using it only via
interface.
The proposed change move this dependency to be link time. There is a
AP_HAL::get_HAL() function that is used by the client code. Each
implementation of HAL provides its own definition of this function,
returning the appropriate concrete instance.
Since this replaces the job of AP_HAL_BOARD_DRIVER, the definition was
removed.
The static variables for PX4 and VRBRAIN were named differently to avoid
shadowing the extern symbol 'hal'.
This warning happens because of the difference of datatypes between
32 and 64 bits processors.

It uses a heating resistor controlled by a pwm.
By changing the duty cycle of the pwm, we can control the temperature.
A simple PI algorithm is used in order to get to the correct temperature
fast enough and without too much overshoot
It is implemented as a member of the Util class in order not to make to much
modification to the current codebase
Fix warning and use htole16 instead of trying to implement it.
The current code does nothing on little endian platforms.
Moreover, the status variable was unused.
Instead of just doing a static cast to the desired class, use a method
named "from". Pros:
- When we have data shared on the parent class, the code is cleaner in
child class when it needs to access this data. Almost all the data
we use in AP_HAL benefits from this
- There's a minimal type checking because now we are using a method
that can only receive the type of the parent class
It's possible to use the internal clock in PCA96895 if we account for
the drift it contains. This is a bit different from solutions in other
projects like the Adafruit library and the PX4 firmware: instead of
applying a correction to the final frequency we apply the correction to
the clock since this is the source of the error.
With this fix we arrived to much better results across different lots of
sensors.
The Navio board continues to use the external clock and should have no
difference behavior.
This commit changes the way libraries headers are included in source files:
- If the header is in the same directory the source belongs to, so the
notation '#include ""' is used with the path relative to the directory
containing the source.
- If the header is outside the directory containing the source, then we use
the notation '#include <>' with the path relative to libraries folder.
Some of the advantages of such approach:
- Only one search path for libraries headers.
- OSs like Windows may have a better lookup time.
this makes it possible to bootup ardupilot before the desired network
interface is available. This is very useful for when using 3G dongles
in aircraft
