OSE Rover

About

This is OSE's implementation of Ardupilot Rover. Which board to run it on? Which operating system to work in? Which real time microkernel to use? What is the sensor compatibility?

Architecture

1. Ardupilot vs Pixhawk - 2 software bases for drone control. Ardupilot is more versatile. [1] and has user-friendly mission planning. Ardupilot is GPL, vs BSD for Pixhawk. Ardupilot has Rover, Copter, and Plane. [2]
2. You can run ardupilot on BBB - [3] using a cape to replace Ardupilot Mega capacity, but this cape seems no longer available. Dead end?
3. Companion computers - can collaborate with a flight controller. [4]
4. Beagle Bone Blue with Ardupilot - [5]
