The project features:

• Embedded software to be run on the drone
• Embedded board and sensors to receive the beacon's signal
• The beacon, a device emitting ultrasonic waves

How to use the embedded software

1. Install the GNU C compiler for ARM: gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi
   Packages are available for most Linux distributions
2. Build the "CDC-ACM" kernel module and upload it to the drone
   see https://sites.google.com/site/projetsecinsa/documents-techniques/outils-et-methodes/cross-compiler-pour
3. Make sure that a /dev/ttyACM* device is created when you plug the receiver board
4. Clone the repository and build the program:

git clone https://github.com/Arlakt/SheldonProject.git
cd SheldonProject/embedded-sw/
make

5. Upload it to the drone and start a telnet session to run the program: ./upload.sh

# insmod /data/video/modules/cdc-acm.ko
# chmod +x /data/video/main.elf
# /data/video/main.elf
