altos: Restructure altos build to prepare for multi-arch support

2011-08-26T03:49:11+00:00

Split out sources into separate directories: core: architecture and product independent bits cc1111: cc1111-specific code drivers: architecture independent drivers product: product-specific sources and Makefile fragments util: scripts for building stuff This should have no effect on the built products, but testing is encouraged Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

altos: remove monitor disable stubs from altimeter code

2011-08-11T23:11:34+00:00

Monitor mode in the ground-station boards must be disabled when the radio is going to be used for another purpose, or the radio parameters changed. That places monitor-mode disable calls in other parts of the system which are shared with the altimeter code. Elide the ao_set_monitor calls for builds which do not include any monitoring code.

altos: Allow any stdio to be used with packet forwarding

2011-04-01T21:08:37+00:00

There's no reason to restrict packet forwarding to work only from USB. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

altos: Configure packet size from send/recv parameters.

2011-03-20T06:31:20+00:00

Instead of setting the packet size at configuration time, use the provided packet size to the send/recv functions to configure the radio. This eliminates many configuration calls, leaving us with 'RDF' mode and 'packet' mode, the latter working for telemetry and the bi-directional link. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

src/ao_cmd: Shave off bytes from doc strings

2011-03-07T08:01:46+00:00

Switch to using { func, "X args\0Desc" } to specify command, saving a char field by looking at help[0] instead, and reduce help length by doing alignment with printf instead of hardcoded spaces.

altos: packet and usb i/o routines use 'char', not 'uint8_t'

2011-01-06T19:28:35+00:00

Just fixing the type of a local variable holding a character passed from the packet link to usb. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

altos: eliminate ao_wake_task

2010-12-23T04:39:40+00:00

Waking up a task waiting on some random object is a bad idea. Fix the waiters to look for suitable signalling. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

altos: clean up radio abort paths. Share radio code.

2010-12-23T04:39:40+00:00

Instead of aborting the DMA and radio operation and expecting that to be handled reasonably by the radio receiving task, rewrite things so that the abort function just wakes the receiving task while that terminates the DMA and cleans up the radio. This eliminates all kinds of nasty bugs dealing with radio abort smashing the radio registers at the wrong time, or interrupting a radio transmission. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

altos: shut down packet mode cleanly

2010-08-30T06:22:27+00:00

Instead of constantly bashing the packet master thread, let it shut itself down in an orderly fashion. It will shut down fairly quickly as all of the activities in that thread are bounded. Otherwise, the master packet thread might leave mutexes locked and all sorts of other horrors. Tested on Linux and Mac OS X and shown to be reliable. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

altos: Abort radio harder when terminating packet mode.

2010-08-30T05:42:23+00:00

Make sure the master radio tasks don't get stuck waiting for an incoming packet again by aborting the radio each time we poke the tasks. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard
