Linux based scout UAV

LinuxベースのスカウトUAV

What it is:

Hobby project to create a UAV (Unmanned aerial vehicle) in a quadcopter drone format, based on the OSD32MP1 SiP which is a Linux capable system.

Linux 対応システムである OSD32MP1 SiP をベースに、クアッドコプター ドローン形式の UAV (無人航空機) を作成する趣味のプロジェクト。

Requirements & components

Block diagram

The system block diagram is still a work in progress. Still looking for a good option on ESC (electronic speed controller) for the drone. Maybe CAN bus based systems can be used as there is a CAN bus available in the OSD32MP1 SiP.

Software/Firmware

Operating system

Octavo develops and mantains a Debian based image that supports their development boards. I plan to start prototyping with this image.

Device tree

I will base my work on Octavo's OSD32MP1-BRK device tree and modify it as needed.

Hardware

OSD32MP1 SiP

Based on the OSD32MP1:

ST32MP15x Features:
Arm® Cortex®-A7 up to 800MHz x2
Arm® Cortex®-M4 up to 209MHz
NEON™SIMD Coprocessor x2
USB 2.0 HS + PHY x2
Ethernet 10/100/1000
CAN FD/TTCAN x2, UART x4, USART x4,SPI x6, I2C x6, SAI x4, QSPI, SPDIF, I2S x3
eMMC/SD/SDIO Ports x3
GPIO x148
24-bit RGB Display, MIPI DSI
Camera Interface
22 Channel 16-bit ADC x2, 12-bit DAC x2

The SiP has an embedded ARM Cortex M4 sub-system which can be used by creating firmware in ST Cube IDE.

Schematic capture

Started working on the schematic capture, schematic in PDF format will be added as it is updated.

Board placement/layout

Started work on board by trying board shapes and importing the DXF files. Already placed the initial components available, will update as needed.

EDA

Hardware being designed in KiCad 9.0
