Over a three-month period, this developer contributed to the ArduPilot/ardupilot repository by building and integrating hardware and firmware support for multiple MFE CAN devices. They reserved unique bootloader board IDs to prevent device conflicts, implemented bootloader and hardware definition files for new autopilot boards, and expanded sensor compatibility by adding support for the MFE_AirSpeed_CAN sensor. Their work involved configuration management, embedded systems design, and firmware development using C and hardware definition languages. By coordinating cross-repository changes and providing detailed documentation, they enabled reliable provisioning, streamlined hardware integration, and improved reproducibility for CAN-based autopilot hardware within the project.
January 2025: Delivered hardware support for the MFE_AirSpeed_CAN sensor in ArduPilot/ardupilot, expanding sensor compatibility and configuration workflows. Implemented hardware definition files for the AP_HAL_ChibiOS HAL, configured bootloader LED pins, and defined the default airspeed bus/type to enable new airspeed configurations. Added a bootloader hardware definition in Tools to support the new hardware. No major bug fixes documented for this scope this month.
