Two cases of what seems to be FIFO alignment errors have been seen on
a Pixracer-beta board with a ICM-20608. At a cost of 2 extra bytes per
transfer we can catch these by looking for sudden temperature changes
caused by bad data in the temperature registers.
When registering accel and gyro we use the upper 16bits of the id to
store the driver version. When changing the driver behavior in
non-compatible ways, changing this version will trigger a request for
calibration.
This allows each sensor to be uniquely identified in the system by using
either the index inside the backend or for those that use the Device
interface, to use the bus type, location, and device id.
We leave 16-bit for each sensor to be able to change its own
identification in future, which allows them to be changed in an
incompatible manner forcing a re-calibration.
When we are initializing the gyro and then saving the calibration we are
also saving the calibration values for the accelerometers. Right now
this is non-problematic, but we want to check that the ID of the
accelerometer corresponds to the ID of the sensor detected. If we also
save accel calibrations we would actually override the ID of the
accelerometer.
Rename the method to _save_gyro_calibration() and save only on gyro
values.
We only leave the parameter there for backward-compatibility. However
product id on the inertial sensor is not much useful since it's only
kept for the first instance.
A better implementation per-gyro and per-accel is needed in order to
avoid problems with sensors taking the offsets configured for another
sensor.
By opening with O_CLOEXEC we make sure we don't leak the file descriptor
when we are exec'ing or calling out subprograms. Right now we currently
don't do it so there's no harm, but it's good practice in Linux to have
it.

Notify users of the potential for velocity noise when using larger offset values..
Specific advice in terms of values has not been provided because it is highly dependent on Gyro noise levels.
We currently check examples are buildable with waf which doesn't need
the libraries to be specified in a make.inc file. Having the makefiles
there is misleading since people try to build and realize the build is
broken.
Some notes:
- The only place that made sense to use
suspend_timer_procs()/resume_timer_procs() calls were where we registered
the timer process. Now there's no need for that anymore. Remove those calls
from other place in the source too.
- There's no need to acquire the device lock now that we are running as a
periodic callback.
- Use "INS_" prefix for the name in order to limit the scope for that macro.
- Don't define it in the code and check if it is defined instead of checking
the value. With that, there's no need to touch the code for enabling debug,
only a reconfiguration is necessary (e.g., `CXXFLAGS='-DINS_TIMING_DEBUG' waf
configure ...`).
The reason of defining BMI160_MAX_FIFO_SAMPLES as 8 can be found on the
following histogram of the number of samples in the FIFO on each read while
performing the accelerometer calibration process:

The new function can deal with a variable number of function parameters.
Additionally, I renamed the functions to norm(), because this is the
standard name used in several other projects.
Several coding style problems were already fixed by previous commit,
just finish the cleanup on this example:
- replace tabs with spaces
- remove unneeded \r
- remove extra spaces
We should return the number of bytes written/read, not 0 on success.
This number may be useful in some cases so return it.
While at it fix a simple wrong space in the header.
Due to the way the headers are organized changing a single change in an
inertial sensor driver would trigger a rebuild for most of the files in
the project. Time could be saved by using ccache (since most of the
things didn't change) but we can do better, i.e. re-organize the headers
so we don't have to re-build everything.
With this patch only AP_InertialSensor/AP_InertialSensor.h is exposed to
most users. There are some corner cases to integrate with some example
code, but most of the places now depend only on this header and this
header doesn't depend on the specific backends.
Now changing a single header, e.g. AP_InertialSensor_L3G4200D.h triggers
a rebuild only of these files:
$ waf copter

This is not used by any board and has a lot of commented out code. For
example, the compass is not enabled. The comment in the beginning of
the driver says it should serve as an example, but we should rather use
a working driver as an example. If this was at least a bit simpler and
that worked in the past we could refactor it to the new I2CDevice API.
This is not the case.
new functions that get a filtered min/max accel peaks on each axis with fixed 500ms timeout:
Vector3f get_accel_peak_hold_pos()
Vector3f get_accel_peak_hold_neg()
This allows slower mechanisms, such as is_flying, to detect accel spikes which would indicate ground or object impacts. Vibe is too filtered. Independent positive and negative peaks are available
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.

As commented in 8218140 ("AP_Common: add scanf format macro"), "FORMAT"
was a bad name for this macro since there's also the scanf. Rename to
FMT_PRINTF to follow the scanf name.
This method will be used to initialize and configure I2C backends that
have an auxiliary I2C bus that can be connected to the main I2C bus,
like MPU6000 and MPU9250.
Using MPU9250 over I2C we can connect the auxiliary bus where there is
a AK8963 and connect this bus to the main one, this way we don't need
any AuxiliaryBus infrastructure as we need with SPI and we can talk
with AK8963 as we would talk with a standalone AK8963.
