Touch on SI design (SI namespace design)

  • Kjetil is worried about the current design, but has no constructive suggestions to improve it.

Timestamping issues (On timestamping, https://github.com/UAVCAN/dsdl/pull/53)

  • If 56 bit timestamps are used every message (continging a float32) will be at least 12 bytes.
  • The maximum length of CAN 2.0B messages are 8 byte, 24 bit timestamp should be used to avoid all messages being muli frame.

DSDL versioning

  • Kjetil is worried about micro protocols using different datatypes.
  • Been thinking about a different versioning scheme, will be concertized and announced before next meeting.
