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.
RC_Channel: To nullptr from NULL.
AC_Fence: To nullptr from NULL.
AC_Avoidance: To nullptr from NULL.
AC_PrecLand: To nullptr from NULL.
DataFlash: To nullptr from NULL.
SITL: To nullptr from NULL.
GCS_MAVLink: To nullptr from NULL.
DataFlash: To nullptr from NULL.
AP_Compass: To nullptr from NULL.
Global: To nullptr from NULL.

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.
- uart->available(); returns uint32 but was stored locally as int32 and treated as uint32. Now stored correctly as uint32
- some variables were set to zero at start of function, then reset to zero before being used. wasted work
Having a critical divide by value as a class member that could change external to the function using it is fragile. It was not very obvious that a divide by zero was not possible in the current design, now it's very obvious and safer in case the code changes later.
- 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.

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'.
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.
