Use I2C on Voxl2 with Px4
-
I'm trying to use one of the I2C connections on J19 of the VOXL2 to control an external device. I cannot seem to get the Px4 code to build for I2C devices. I can build and deploy code to my voxl2 on the bench. I'm using https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/services/voxl-px4. I tried using
make modalai-voxl2 boardconfigto enable drivers of example applications and that didn't have any effect. I was trying to just get some I2C driver to start to make sure I could configure thins, so I setexample src/drivers/barometer/invensense/icp101xx/Kconfigto have a default of 'y'. Then I get a build error, it can't find the I2C class. I suspect I'm missing something simple somewhere to configure it for I2C, but I"m not sure what.Any suggestions appreciated!

@bcj did eventually figured out?? I stumbled upon the same problem!

@bcj The I2C connections on J19 are routed to the DSP, not the applications processor. So you need to look at the PX4 DSP build files, not the applications processor build files. For example, here is where the icp101xx driver is brought in: https://github.com/modalai/px4-firmware/blob/8334ca832958db1a4f50f702b0975fb584cf4653/boards/modalai/voxl2-slpi/default.px4board#L11

can you please confirm that in order to communicate with a sensor on the DSP, even if the driver already exists in px4, one need to patch the driver as you guys did for voxl2-slpi/src/drivers ?
for example, read an MPU6050 over i2c on J19

@tiralonghipol UART drivers need patching. If it is an i2c or spi driver then usually not.
