Hi all
I design a new hardware for the PX4，the “coolfly” system.
The main MCU is not the STM32 ，but the SOC made by the chinese.
now , I have test the modules, on the MC, FW, VTOL. it works well.
I fork the V1.8.2, and port the PX4 to my coolfly system.
Now I want to add the hardware to the PX4 as a new hardware，how to do it ？
The new IC include a baseband and a H.264 encoder in it.

AR8020 intro
AR8020, Wireless HD Video Stream Transceiver and Drone Remote Controller，maked by Artosyn（酷芯微电子）
Introduction
The AR8020 is a highly integrated wireless HD video stream transmitter/receiver and drone controller with remote control function.
- A low latency dual-way video encoder is integrated in this chip, which can support both one single way video input and simultaneous two way 720p@30fps video input through MIPI interface or BT-1120 digital parallel ports.
- A high performance bi-directional MIMO baseband modem is also integrated.
- The uplink serves for remote control and the downlink serves for high definition image transmission.
- The AES crypto coprocessor is also provided in AR8020 to secure the wireless communication. AR8020 supports two RF 2x2 transceivers named AR8003, respectively.
- Two dedicated ARM cortex-M7 CPU with large data TCM and instruction TCM are used for drone control.
- Abundant peripherals such as UART, I2C, SPI, timer with PWM, watchdog timer, RTC, SD/MMC interface, GPIO and CAN bus controller are provided to facilitate the building of a powerful drone control platform.
- Two USB OTG ports are provided for various applications.
- One additional ARM cortex-M7 CPU is used to configure the video encoder and baseband modem.
- A 16MByte SDRAM component chip is integrated with AR8020 in SiP (System-in-Package) form. So there is no need to use external memory chip. AR8020 is available in 441-pin BGA package.
