- Most of the boards use bus 1 for first I2C
- If the bus doesn't exist, let the detect() method fail when it
call start_reading(), because _dev would be invalid
This rangefinder uses an spi device to send pulses and an iio driver
in buffer mode to get data
The data is then analyzed and the maximum pulse received is considered to
represent the echo of the pulses that have been sent. The distance in time
between the pulse that is sent and the pulse with the maximum amplitude
is used to calculate the altitude based on the speed of sound.
There is a dependency with libiio, and in order to build, there is a need
to provide a rootfs that includes libiio.a.
The other solution is to build dynamically after having updated the rootfs
to use on compiled with a more recent toolchain and include libiio
This adds .data section loading to the HC-SR04 range finder driver used by
BBBMINI. The firmware is running inside a PRU. It is necessary to develop more
complex driver software inside the PRU.
The problem with using min() and max() is that they conflict with some
C++ headers. Name the macros in uppercase instead. We may go case by
case later converting them to be typesafe.
Changes generated with:

Now variables don't have to be declared with PROGMEM anymore, so remove
them. This was automated with:
git grep -l -z PROGMEM | xargs -0 sed -i 's/ PROGMEM / /g'
git grep -l -z PROGMEM | xargs -0 sed -i 's/PROGMEM//g'
The 2 commands were done so we don't leave behind spurious spaces.
AVR-specific places were not changed.
The PSTR is already define as a NOP for all supported platforms. It's
only needed for AVR so here we remove all the uses throughout the
codebase.
This was automated with a simple python script so it also converts
places which spans to multiple lines, removing the matching parentheses.
AVR-specific places were not changed.
Add libraries that those boards depend on. This should be handled in the
future elsewhere (and once for each board), but for now let's make it
compile again.
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'.
