ArduPilot Custom Firmware Builder (EqualMass Edition)
🛠EqualMass Customization Layer (Added Feb 2026)
This repository has been customized to support a persistent, automated Patch Management System. These modifications allow for custom source code injection and regional data integration while maintaining a production-grade infrastructure on Debian 13.
📁 Modified & New Files
docker-compose.yml: Updated to include theoverlay-managersidecar service and shared volumes for persistent code injection.builder/builder.py: Modified to detect custom source files in the/srvdirectory. The engine now automatically merges these overlays into the ArduPilot source tree before the Waf compiler begins the build.web/templates/index.html: The main dashboard now features a stylized "Patch Manager" bridge button in the navigation bar to allow seamless switching between the builder and the sidecar.overlay_manager/(New Service):main.py: A FastAPI-based engine designed to manage (Upload/Edit/Delete) custom source files within the Docker environment.templates/index.html: A custom UI for managing patches, matching the ArduPilot ecosystem aesthetic.static/logo.png: Localized branding assets for the sidecar interface.
