Last week there were 95 commits. :hammer_and_wrench: PositionControl: addess @bkueng 's comment in #11056 by MaEtUgR :hammer_and_wrench: LandDetector: use vertical velocity estimate for threshold instead of the derivative of the vertical position which is not the same value when using the ekf2 estimation. Using the position derivative resulted in delayed landing because the value for some reason often bumped over the theshold before slowly converging towards zero while the velocity was within expected accuary in all these cases. by MaEtUgR :hammer_and_wrench: mc_pos_control: shut down vertical thrust with ground contact by MaEtUgR :hammer_and_wrench: Update submodule micro-CDR to latest Sat Jan 26 00:38:18 UTC 2019 - micro-CDR in PX4/Firmware (e0680ffe2280620b81d415328f109dc8decaa1b8): https://github.com/eProsima/micro-CDR/commit/7a76880f90dfe702f4fa1723e22d1dcb491d7b9e - micro-CDR current upstream: https://github.com/eProsima/micro-CDR/commit/62d95c870eafb0cccc7bf70bb8a0cbb86f125a0e - Changes: https://github.com/eProsima/micro-CDR/compare/7a76880f90dfe702f4fa1723e22d1dcb491d7b9e...62d95c870eafb0cccc7bf70bb8a0cbb86f125a0e 62d95c8 2019-01-24 Luis Enrique Muñoz Martín - Refs #4438.

CONFIG_DISABLE_ENVIRON can prevent task having to allocate memory for the env. by davids5 :hammer_and_wrench: common:board_crashdump must end in reset! Upstream changes defer the board reset based on the vaule of CONFIG_BOARD_RESET_ON_ASSERT 0 (or not defined) Do not reset on assert >= 1 reset if assertion is in an interrupt handler or the idle task >= 2 on any asertion. up_assert is called from up_hardfault or an asertion failure. Part 1 of up_assert will call out to the board_crashdump Part 2 on return from board_crashdump will then perform the reset. board_crashdump needs a chunk of ram to save the complete context in. It uses &_sdata which is the lowest memory and it will corrupt that memeory. We can therfore can not allow return to the OS, as it could depend on that area of RAM. So all boards need to do a reset at the end of board_crashdump by davids5 :hammer_and_wrench: aerofc-v1:Scope CRASHDUMP_RESET_ONLY to BOARD_CRASHDUMP_RESET_ONLY by davids5 :hammer_and_wrench: Custom board naming, removed need for tools/nuttx_defconf_tool.sh by davids5 :hammer_and_wrench: Add support from cromfs generation by davids5 :hammer_and_wrench: Add callout for CONFIG_BOARDCTL_FINALINIT by davids5 :hammer_and_wrench: Add STM32 critical section monitor time resources by davids5 :hammer_and_wrench: flashfs:Upstream renamed up_progmem_erasepage to up_progmem_eraseblock by davids5 :hammer_and_wrench: stm32/drv_io_timer:GTIM_CCER_CC1NP not on all STM32 HW The F1 series GTIMs to not have GTIM_CCER_CC1NP.

So we read it once and copy it into a local variable. by bkueng :hammer_and_wrench: drv_hrt: inline hrt_elapsed_time GCC did not do that. by bkueng :hammer_and_wrench: delete px4_includes.h header and update boards/ to use syslog by dagar :hammer_and_wrench: platforms delete PX4_ROS and obsolete headers by dagar :hammer_and_wrench: delete obsolete examples/subscriber by dagar :hammer_and_wrench: delete obsolete examples/publisher by dagar :hammer_and_wrench: mission_params: remove MIS_YAWMODE reference This parameter was removed in d704a2d6756bfe87d3fc7768bcc6615909eda805 and should not be referenced anymore. by MaEtUgR :hammer_and_wrench: Update submodule jMAVSim to latest Wed Jan 23 00:37:45 UTC 2019 - jMAVSim in PX4/Firmware (3a7deefe6e24e79f3293ae6d6d56f6eb02dde43d): https://github.com/PX4/jMAVSim/commit/5150bbab6ea3e13907d2ff9eadd2c293d2477d49 - jMAVSim current upstream: https://github.com/PX4/jMAVSim/commit/00bdf6d92b6a8678f5b683a3ebca9e52e88cb5ce - Changes: https://github.com/PX4/jMAVSim/compare/5150bbab6ea3e13907d2ff9eadd2c293d2477d49...00bdf6d92b6a8678f5b683a3ebca9e52e88cb5ce 00bdf6d 2019-01-21 Beat Küng - jMAVLib: update submodule by PX4BuildBot :hammer_and_wrench: move SYS_STCK_EN to src/modules/load_mon by dagar :hammer_and_wrench: move modules/systemlib to lib/systemlib by dagar :hammer_and_wrench: LPS22HB: Fix invalid driver reset (I2C bus) by dvornikov-aa :hammer_and_wrench: IO firmware: Run critical timing operations as atomic This is required as we might be in interrupt context on this bare-metal target. by LorenzMeier :hammer_and_wrench: HRT: Drop volatile specifier from function call for non-atomic mode This allows the compiler to optimize better without loosing any performance / accuracy. by LorenzMeier :hammer_and_wrench: SD Bench: No need for atomic timing This leads to less jitter in the benchmark by LorenzMeier :hammer_and_wrench: SAMv7: Add atomic and non-atomic HRT calls This reduces interrupt load significantly. by LorenzMeier :hammer_and_wrench: Kinetis: Add atomic and non-atomic HRT calls This reduces interrupt load significantly. by LorenzMeier :hammer_and_wrench: Posix: Add initial stub for atomic HRT The actual implementation is not atomic, as the value on the application layer would be limited. by LorenzMeier :hammer_and_wrench: uORB test: Retain atomic operation by LorenzMeier :hammer_and_wrench: SD bench: Retain atomic operation.; by LorenzMeier :hammer_and_wrench: Unit tests: Retain atomic operation This ensures we get absolutely accurate timing. by LorenzMeier :hammer_and_wrench: HRT: Create new separate call for atomic HRT elapsed time calculation This call rarely needs to be truly atomic and the involved CPU overhead in making it atomic was unnecessary and introduces a lot of IRQ jitter with no value-add. The call has been moved to be non-atomic and the codebase will be inspected and changed in follow-up commits for the few instances where it is truly needed. by LorenzMeier :hammer_and_wrench: create PX4 platform layer initialization helper (#11269) - starts requirements for PX4 modules (hrt, param, etc) by dagar :hammer_and_wrench: px4_fmu-v2_default temporarily disable sf0x - can be reenabled after #11256 is merged by dagar :hammer_and_wrench: Trajectory auto - Handle EKF xy reset by bresch :hammer_and_wrench: Trajectory manual - Handle EKF xy reset by bresch :hammer_and_wrench: mavlink_mission: round lat/lon This avoids casting errors.
