Revert "altos: Don't abort radio transmissions with ao_radio_abort"

2010-11-25T08:01:58+00:00

This reverts commit 54468e5dc567aaac5c5c20e921859b7cec28bb88. With this patch in place, TD could not be placed in 'packet' mode.

altos: Make radio test command careful with the radio mutex.

2010-11-24T03:10:27+00:00

Remember whether the radio test mode is on or off and don't try to do either of them twice to prevent the mutex from being acquired or released twice. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

altos: Don't abort radio transmissions with ao_radio_abort

2010-11-24T03:10:27+00:00

We only want to abort pending radio reception to release the radio for other use, or to change the radio channel. Let radio transmission proceed. This fixes a problem with using packet mode to configure the radio channel; if the packet transmission is aborted, the TM ends up wedged. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

altos: remove unused variable from ao_igniter

2010-11-24T03:10:27+00:00

The 'status' variable used to hold a reported status value from the igniter after firing, but we ignore that now. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

altos: assume igniter worked.

2010-11-22T23:56:04+00:00

Many igniters don't go open when fired, so there's no way to know if they worked. Assume they did as a failed igniter is unlikely to do anything when fired again anyways. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

altos: Add on/off modes to 'C' command

2010-11-21T22:03:17+00:00

This lets the user turn the radio on/off and then invoke other commands. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

Add version numbers to released files. Set version to 0.7.1

2010-09-05T01:21:41+00:00

Instead of using git revision counts for version numbers, use explicit versions numbers configured in the configure.ac file. Expose published files with version numbers. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

altos: add some SDCDB config files

altos: Bounds check Skytraq GPS tracking data array

2010-09-02T02:53:24+00:00

Missing GPS serial data could cause the tracking array reset to get skipped, causing the array to be overrun, smashing critical data beyond the array. This was detected using the 'altosui' flash command to program a device from TM. Hitting the USB that hard caused TM to crash with a mutex error (3 beeps) after the ao_gps_task structure was overwritten with zeros. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

altos: Windows sends USB Out packets of 0 length. Ack them.

2010-08-30T11:52:00+00:00

This was an untested case as no other operating system sents 0-length out packets (they're not necessary). The correct response is to ACK them by clearing the OUTPKT_RDY bit so that another packet can be sent. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard
