About Telega v1.0 with full support for Cyphalv1 publish date

Hi,
I am building a Nuttx application that requires communication with Myxa B2 ESC via CAN. I am trying to use the new Cyphal v1 for this. For starting, I have been able to exchange some uavcan.node.Heartbeat.1.0 messages between the Nuttx Cyphal node and a Yakut node on different devices. Next, I want to interface and control Myxa ESC. I have updated the ESC firmware to Telega v0.4 hoping that it somehow supports Cyphalv1 but it seems that v0.4 still uses the UAVCAN v0 protocol.
When taking a look at Yakut readme, there seems to be some ESCs (the example with 4 nodes 122-125) that do perhaps experimentally support Cyphalv1 (maybe using soon to be released Telega v1 ? :smiley: ) .

I am wondering if you have any estimation for the release date? Or is there any pre-release bin file that I can play with first? I am in middle of this task so I don’t really want to put it aside and go do sth else unless the release date is too far in the future then I probably need to replan my tasks :slight_smile:

Thank you!

Previously I upgraded just the application file , not the bootloader. Now I use the st-link to flash the compound bin file to Myxa. But it now refuses to boot. I think that I am missing the signature as stated here Issues When Upgrading to Telega v0.3 - #7 by mice5 . My UUID at 0x1FFF7A10 is 39 00 2D 00 06 50 30 50 30 34 39 20 C0 F0 00 C0

Yes. That is precisely it. There are three reasons why it is not yet published:

  • The new, more robust EKF observer is not yet finished.
  • The documentation is not yet finished.
  • Configuration parameter management requires rework.

The development is taking time because the new motor control core is AUTOSAR C++14 compliant, which adds overheads, and is covered by an extensive test suite both in SITL, HITL, and using automatic on-hardware integration tests.

The release is scheduled for Q3. Meanwhile, we can ship you a preview binary if you are feeling adventurous and is willing to accept the lack of decent docs.

Regarding the signature, I have already replied in PM.
