## README
# NextPilot Flight Control System
[English](README.md) | [中文](README_zh.md) | [Español](README_es.md) | [Deutsch](README_de.md)
# Overview
`NextPilot Flight Control System` is a powerfull, scalable and advanced autopilot, which is designed to be easily used in education, research, and industry.
## Main Feature
1. Excellent performance. RTOS based on [RT-Thread V5.0.2](https://github.com/RT-Thread/rt-thread/tree/v5.0.2) with active community and rich components, such as FINSH, DFS, ULOG etc.
2. More powerfull. main function ported from [PX4 V1.14.2](https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot/tree/v1.14.2), which developed by world-class developers from industry and academia, powered all kinds of vehicles from racing and cargo drones through to ground vehicles and submersibles.
3. High scalability. has high-quality scalable software architecture ([uORB](pkgs/uORB/uORB.h), [PARAM](pkgs/param/param.h), [AIRFRAME](apps/airframe/README.md)), loose coupling([Automatic initialization mechanism](https://www.rt-thread.org/document/site/#/rt-thread-version/rt-thread-standard/programming-manual/basic/basic?id=rt-thread-%e8%87%aa%e5%8a%a8%e5%88%9d%e5%a7%8b%e5%8c%96%e6%9c%ba%e5%88%b6)), modularity(`a FOLDER, a MODULE FOR a FUNCTION`), is easy to tailor and expand.
4. High efficency. support MATLAB/Simulink [Model-Based Design](https://www.mathworks.com/help/simulink/gs/model-based-design.html), which enable fast and cost-effective development of dynamic systems, including control systems, signal processing systems, and communications systems.
5. Support variety of simulation, such as Model-in-Loop, [Software-in-Loop](bsps/sitl/qemu/README.md), Hardware-in-Loop, [Simulation-in-Hardware](apps/simulation/simulator_sih/sih.cpp).
6. Support most widely used open-source hardware [Pixhawk FMUv5](bsps/px4/fmu-v5/README.md) and hardware [designed by NextPilot](bsps/ndt//README.md).
7. Supports all mainstream compiling tools such as Gcc+VScode ([Windows](https://github.com/nextpilot/nextpilot-windows-toolchain)/[Ubuntu](https://github.com/nextpilot/nextpilot-ubuntu-toolchain)), Keil and IAR.
