HW Rev Ver

Moving to EEPROM

  • We are moving away from resistors because we are limited to ten, and anything else needs to move to EEPROM
  • We need a guide/process clear enough for any manufacturer on how to manage this
  • Including sending a PR back to this repo to track the vendors
  • Mechanism is in place, but tools need to be put in place @david_s5

TODO

  • We want to prevent any user from rewriting EEPROM
    • Option A: Auterion Recovery Image
    • Option B: Dronecode gives manufacturers a bin file with the right registers, private to them
  • Talk to baseboard manufacturers, let’s look into what their process would be and how to best solve it, so we can make a decision

Pixhawk Autopilot Bus Discussion

Proposal to use spare pins on the PAB by NXP

TODO:

  • NXP will send an official proposal to the GitHub repo, and Dronecode will share with the manufacturing community for feedback
  • We will discuss on the next meeting and go from there
