[Paparazzi-devel] GPS and modem port configuration

[Felix Ruess]

FYI,

GPS and modem port configuration is now unified between rotorcraft and fixedwing.
The makefile variables MODEM_UART_NR and GPS_UART_NR are now deprecated and superseeded by MODEM_PORT and GPS_PORT.

If you just use the standard ports on your board there is no change for you since the appropriate one is already selected, if you want use a different port for some reason you can specify it like so:
    <subsystem name="telemetry"     type="transparent">
      <configure name="MODEM_PORT"          value="UART1"/>
    </subsystem>
so formerly
<configure name="MODEM_UART_NR"          value="1"/>
becomes
<configure name="MODEM_PORT"          value="UART1"/>

Same goes for GPS. This change only affects fixedwing, rotorcraft already had this configuration.

Cheers, Felix
