[ 0.000000] Linux version 4.9.0-rc1 (tcmichals@tcmichals-Studio-540) (gcc version 5.4.0 (Buildroot 2016.11-git-01024-g731b3c5) ) #6
So far have tested:
- Ethernet works
- I2C works.
- THS works
- Added some patches to SPI Instead of using the entire patch, just changed the FIFO to 64 and added DT changes. Also changed spidev.c and added:
static const struct of_device_id spidev_dt_ids[] = {
{ .compatible = "rohm,dh2228fv" },
{ .compatible = "lineartechnology,ltc2488" },
{ .compatible = "spidev" }, //TCM:FIX
One issue just encountered several days ago is how to run Java; the solution is Java SE embedded. Just follow the instructions here.
# java -version
java version "1.8.0_111"
Java(TM) SE Embedded Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_111-b14, profile compact1, headless)
Java HotSpot(TM) Embedded Client VM (build 25.111-b14, mixed mode)
The goal of LinuxFlight is to be able to run Java, Python and C++ plugins/modules. Pieces of the flight code can be offloaded to other modules, or to different programming languages.
The current goal is to use Python to load and "wire" modules, with additional configuration. This allows:
- First module, will be GPS. All of the parsing and configuration of the GPS will be written in python and calls into the Flight controller software. Now, different GPS modules can be added using python.
