BlueOS feedback - Build firmware with waf for the navigator flight controller

[EliotBR (Eliot)]

Hi @BjornAU, welcome to the forum

@BjornAU

I’m building an underwater drone that steers like a plane.
So therefore I’m trying to make a firmware build, combining the safety features of the SUB, with the steering of the plane, firmware.

Sounds like an interesting project
I suppose it’s somewhat related to our broader goal of advanced control options for ArduSub - I’m interested to know how you go!

@BjornAU

What is the name for the BlueRobotic navigator bord, when building firmware with waf?

@EliotBR

… the process … for building ArduSub for Navigator … should be the same [as other boards] but using ./waf configure --board navigator

…

On the file type, instead of the .apj files that we generally use for the Pixhawk,

@patrickelectric

The final result is an ELF file:

ELF 32-bit LSB pie executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV)

It should be located at build/navigator/bin/ardusub.
