PX4 uses banks of 8 outputs as a logical structure. Boards that have
more outputs than 8 get multiple instances. This is an arbitrary choice
that helps with overall structure and enables the mixing of different
device classes (like FMU, IO or UAVCAN).
These changes remove the two code paths to updates (forceupdate and update) and try to reboot and bootload IO independent of its state, wether it is in bootloader mode already, safety switch is off or if it is in "nominal state" (running and safety on). This ensures that there are no conditions where user error or boot sequence can prevent a successful upgrade. The only state where an upgrade will not be done is if the system is fully armed.
This system command will display, set and save the network
settings.
netman show - Displays the current settings.
netman update - Will check for a net.cfg file on the SD card.
If present, it will update the paramaters,
delete the file, and reboot. Using the new settings.
netman save - Saves the current settings to net.cfg on the SD card.
This file shoulf be renamed to preserver it across
reboots or editited to chech networkin paramates.
File format is name<space>value:
echo DEVICE=eth0 > /fs/microsd/net.cfg
echo BOOTPROTO=fallback >> /fs/microsd/net.cfg
echo IPADDR=192.168.0.4 >> /fs/microsd/net.cfg
echo NETMASK=255.255.255.0 >>/fs/microsd/net.cfg
echo ROUTER=192.168.0.254 >>/fs/microsd/net.cfg
echo DNS=192.168.0.254 >>/fs/microsd/net.cfg
Valid values for `proto` are `dhcp`, `static`, `falback`
Both will try dhcp for CONFIG_NETINIT_FALLBACK times
and fall back to the static address.
NETMASK - is the network mask.
IPADDR - this nodes ip address for static or fall back.
ROUTER - The default route.
DNS - The address of the dns server.
- generate PWM_MAIN 1-14
- generate PWM_AUX 1-8
- generate PWM_EXTRA 1-8
- px4io and pwm_out directly read configuration parameters
- only available and active physical outputs are actually shown for configuration
- overall saves flash despite adding many new parameters
