Drone swarms have gained a lot of popularity in recent times because, as a group, drones can perform highly intelligent tasks. Drone swarms are strongly inspired by the flocking behavior of birds, insects, and schools of fish, where all the members work in a coordinated manner to achieve a common goal. Since each drone is an independent entity, automating the control of a swarm is difficult. Previous works propose various swarming models with either centralized or distributed control. With distributed control, each drone makes its own decisions based on a small set of rules to accomplish swarm behavior, whereas in centralized control, one drone acts as the leader, who knows the final destination and the path to follow; it specifies the trajectories and velocities for the rest of the drones. Almost all the work in the area of swarming models follows Reynolds’ model, which has three basic rules. For GPS-aided settings, state-of-the-art proposals are not mature enough to handle complex
This article introduces the basics of a device tree in an embedded Linux system. As an example project, I add an LED to the device tree of a PocketBeagle board and discuss the LED subsystem features in embedded Linux.
