AP_Terrain: support fetching terrain data from a mavlink data storage device #5834

Open magicrub opened 7 years ago

magicrub commented 7 years ago

For platforms that don't have an SDcard and do have a companion computer (and high-speed serial link), add support for fetching terrain data via mavlink from the companion computer's storage.

As a side note, I was discussing with @peterbarker about adding terrain data support into APSync. We suspect it's quite easy if MAVProxy is running. We just need to make sure there are no conflicts with the user's GCS. This may not directly address what @magicrub is talking about but I wanted to add the info here in any case.
