Lisa/L is a dual processor board autopilot designed to allow the possibility of using Linux for Paparazzi airborne code or advanced payload and path plannning. AN OMAP-based Gumstix Overo computer can be mounted directly to Lisa/L, with access to USB, SPI, and serial. The onboard STM32 microcontroller communicates with the Overo using a fast SPI interface. It can be used for both fixedwing and rotorcraft airframes. For links to additional documentation, please see Lisa Overview page here.

Hardware Revision History

Version #	Release Date	Release Notes
v1.1	???	Next release of Lisa/L
v1.0	???	Initial release of Lisa/L

For differences between versions, please see below.

Lisa/L is based on the 64-pin STM32F103RE processor featuring 64k of RAM and 512k of FLASH, which is part of the high-density performance line family.

Features:

STM32 microcontroller (CortexM3@72Mhz) STM32F103RE datasheet
Numerous reconfigurable analog input channels 0V - 3.3V (2 channels with optional on-board resistor bridge)
3x 3.3V TTL UART (5V tolerant)
1x CAN
6x PWM outputs
1x R/C receiver PPM frame input (trig pin on UART1 connector)
2x SPI bus
2x I²C bus
1x USB (client) connected to STM32 JTAG and Overo serial console
2x switching power supply (3.3V and 5V)
6.5V linear regulator for ADC
8x status LEDs with attached test point
1x absolute pressure sensor (for altitude)
1x differential pressure sensor (for airspeed)
Integrated JTAG debug for STM32
1x Gumstix Overo Mount
1x IMU mount
30 grams (1.1 oz), not including Aspirin IMU or Gumstix Overo COM
50mm x 90mm (2in x 3.6in)
4 layer PCB design

The Lisa/L is designed to have a Gumstix Overo mounted onboard. In addition there is an onboard location to mount an IMU. Specifically, the Booz IMU or the Aspirin IMU can be easily mounted and interfaced. There is also a low-profile mount available for the Aspirin IMU.

Pinout

Pins Name and Type are specified with respect to the Autopilot Board.

Lisa/L V1.1

NOTE: The silkscreen on the PCB says that the 8th pin of the ADC/Spare header is PB2. This is incorrect, pin 8 is PD2.

Lisa-L 0.99 LED order:

 green: 3,  5,  7,  1
 red:   2,  4,  6,  0

Powering the Board

The board accepts input voltage from 6V to 18V. The power connector is from JST and known in the rc world as a BEC connector.

R/C Receivers

Spektrum/JR remote receiver connection diagram

There is a Spektrum parser available, enabling the direct use of 1 or 2 Spektrum satellite receivers.

PPM Remote receiver

To use the PPM signal of a PPM remote receiver, the input pin for the signal is the Trig.pin 1 (on UART1 connector), it is hardcoded and can not be changed. Also make sure that a bridge(~0 Ohm) in the conductor path is soldered. See below picture for the right position.

JTAG

JTAG can be used to upload firmware through the onboard JTAG interface. It can also be used for debugging. It appears as the second USB device of Lisa/L, so if you don't have anything else connected as /dev/ttyUSB1

JTAG description;
General debugging information;
JTAG usage, includes Eclipse uplink tutorial.

Serial Firmware Upload

Now a boot sequence works as follows:

BOOT0 has to be set to 3.3V by use of a jumper cable
Connect a 3,3V serial cable (FTDI, MAX232...) to UART1.
Power the board and activate the bootloader program

In the target section of the airframe file.

 <target name="ap" board="lisa_l_1.1">
 <configure name="FLASH_MODE" value="SERIAL"/>

Then upload as usual...
