Andrew Tridgell fc8065b50f HAL_PX4: added UART performance counters 2013-01-24 15:04:57 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell f72b532405 HAL_PX4: ensure all writes go via buffers
this prevents output corruption by direct fd writes

Andrew Tridgell 89cb3fbd61 HAL_PX4: fixed blocking IO in UART driver 2013-01-22 21:52:21 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 6ffa18fa61 HAL_PX4: rewrite UART driver to be much more efficient
this does the IO in the timer thread, and uses buffers in the main
task to avoid system call costs in the flight code.

The cost of PX4 read and write system calls is quite high - about 10
to 15 usec. We can't afford to pay that per byte

Andrew Tridgell 546ed19ffc HAL_PX4: improved efficiency of serial writes
use buffer at a time writes when possible, and use O_NONBLOCKING to
avoid txspace()

Andrew Tridgell 18cfd29f2f HAL_PX4: added a read buffer to the UART driver
this lowers the average cost of reading bytes by a large amount, and
prevents the GPS driver from chewing lots of time.

Andrew Tridgell 76092eb590 AP_HAL: remove unused peek() interface from UART drivers
this is a bit tricky to implement on some platforms, and is unused
anyway

Andrew Tridgell 64a8a8e4c9 HAL_PX4: fixed using mavlink on the console
this disables the ONLCR termios flag, which was injecting extra
carriage returns in the output

Andrew Tridgell 30447018d5 HAL_PX4: handle %S in format strings 2013-01-05 08:10:07 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 08d518e07f HAL_PX4: switch to libc vdprintf()
vdprintf has now been added to NuttX
2013-01-05 08:01:10 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 44837a11f2 HAL_PX4: added baudrate support to UART driver 2013-01-04 19:42:30 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 155fca8a4b HAL_PX4: make APM sketches into daemons
this also moves uartA onto UART5, allowing ttyS0 for nsh
2013-01-04 11:14:35 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell d492b72a2c HAL_PX4: use /dev/ttyS0 for uartA
this also changes txspace and available to use FIONWRITE and FIONREAD
2013-01-03 21:12:10 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell c6c336a6e8 HAL_PX4: implement peek() and available()
keep a 1 byte buffer
2013-01-03 17:27:53 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell d9d5eb52bf HAL_PX4: use fd IO instead of stdio
this allows for hal console output from within timers, which is very
handy for debugging
2013-01-03 13:16:41 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 9373a4e5b3 HAL_PX4: added a uartA driver
uses stdin/stdout for IO
