The idea is to leave the internal perf enabled all the time, like it is
in PX4, and then allow the integration with lttng on top. Next step
would be to runtime enable/disable only the perf counters we are
interested in.
This also changes the structure so it's easy to allow another thread to
pull data from the Perf object. A rw lock protects from addition of new
counters and an atomic unsigned int allows other threads to do a
lockless copy of the data.
In order for this to work the allocation was changed to use a single
memory pool instead of returning a calloc'ed data for each perf counter.
Since most of our counters are of ' elapsed' type, don't bother using a
smaller struct for the 'count' type
Support for perf api using lttng.
Some additional build tricks needed for bebop because lttng uses dl_open
which is not compatible with a static link on a different libc as used
on the bebop
Modify existing class to create a PWM_Sysfs_Base class and derive it for
Bebop and Pwm_Sysfs (mainline kernel)
use asprintf for path allocation since it doesn't cost so much and is done
only at startup
Note that the constructor of the 2 classes : PWM_Sysfs and PWM_Sysfs_Bebop
allocate the paths and the constructor and desctuctor of class PWM_Sysfs_Base
frees them.
only keep in memory the paths that are needed later, i.e free _export_path,
_duty_path. The remaining path are freed in the destructor
This commit adds the class Linux::GPIO_Sysfs. This class provides a generic
implementation of AP_HAL::GPIO on Linux by using GPIO Sysfs Interface
(https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/gpio/sysfs.txt).
The channel() interface should be preferred in places that need to be
fast. Since it maintains the file descriptor open this is much faster
than opening and closing it.
We are using a microcontroller to read the PWM input from RC. The read
values are sent to our board using a simple serial protocol through the
UART interface.
This patch interprets these values and passes them forward to the APM.
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
ToneAlarm is now declared as a separate class instance of which is added as a private member of LinuxUtil
Some minor fixes in this patch include changing return type of tonealarm_init() to bool and use dprintf
Preliminary support for Zynq/Linux on the 'ZyboPilot' HW platform.
see https://github.com/trjw/ZyboPilot-bsp for the PetaLinux / Vivado project
files.
At this stage CPPM/Pulse in and PWM out work, and in CLI mode the passthru
test works correctly.
The platform has passed minimal smoke testing in HIL mode.
ZYNQ IS NOT FLIGHT TESTED YET! FLY THIS PLATFORM AT YOUR OWN RISK!
