AHRS - Attitude and Heading Reference System

Attitude and heading reference system (AHRS) consists of sensors on three axes that provide attitude information for aircraft, including heading, pitch and yaw.

AHRS consist of either solid-state or microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) gyroscopes, accelerometers and magnetometers on all three axes.

The key difference between an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and an AHRS is the addition of an on-board processing system in an AHRS which provides solved attitude and heading solutions versus an IMU which just delivers sensor data to an additional device that solves the attitude solution.

How to disable start up sound in MacBook Air

It has puzzled me for a long time, especially at midnight.

$ sudo nvram --help

nvram: (usage: no such option as --)

nvram [-x] [-p] [-f filename] [-d name] [-c] name[=value] ...

-x                       use XML format for printing or reading variables

                          (must appear before -p or -f)

-p                       print all firmware variables

-f                        set firmware variables from a text file

-d                       delete the named variable

-c                       delete all variables

name=value      set named variable

name                 print variable

Note that arguments and options are executed in order.

$ sudo nvram SystemAudioVolume=%80

$ sudo nvram -p | grep SystemAudioVolume

SystemAudioVolume %80

HOWTO Install Codescape Debugger for MIPS on Fedora

The procedure is actually quite simple, but one patch is needed for the license manager.

1. Install Codescape
[ ]# chmod +x Codescape-Debugger-8.0.2.2.CentOS-5.x86.py
[ ]# ./Codescape-Debugger-8.0.2.2.CentOS-5.x86.py

2. Create the LSB linker/loader shared library for the License Manager
[ ]# sudo ln -s /lib/ld-linux.so.2 /lib/ld-lsb.so.3

The License Manager may fail when LSB 3 is not met
Starting the license manager issues the error:
   bash: /opt/imgtec/Codescape-Debugger-8.0/get_img_host_id: /lib/ld-lsb.so.3: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory

3. Register
[ ]# /opt/imgtec/Codescape-Debugger-8.0/Codescape-Debugger-Registration

4. That's it. We are done.

Without step 2, the registration failed with the following Error. 

The license manager will call following command to get the "Host ID".
[ ]# /opt/imgtec/Codescape-Debugger-8.0/get_img_host_id
