Request to update repository and add Betaflight to embedded_platforms

[CosmicChampion]

Hi,

I’m trying to build and test SITL for Betaflight using the rl-tools/raptor repository, but I ran into several issues:
The current repository seems outdated — some commits do not match the Betaflight mainline, which leads to compilation errors.
Betaflight is not included in embedded_platforms, making it difficult to build and test the firmware using SITL.

Could you please:
Add Betaflight as an embedded platform in embedded_platforms so it can be compiled and tested in SITL?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi @CosmicChampion,
sorry for the late reply. Did you check out rl-tools/betaflight particularly the Adding a New Platform section?

It should be easy to integrate it with the latest mainline. I tried to keep the required modifications minimal (cf. diff)

I found the Betaflight SITL to be quite gnarly 😅 at some point I decided it would be easier to test it in the real world directly. You can have a look at jonas-eschmann/sitl but no guarantees that it works well (or at all).

Let me know how it goes!
