首先，大体了解PX4IO 与PX4FMU各自的任务
PX4IO(STM32F100)为PIXHAWK 中专用于处理输入输出的部分,输入为支持的各类遥控器(PPM,SPKT/DSM,SBUS), 输出为电调的PWM 驱动信号, 它与PX4FMU(STM32F427)通过串口进行通信
PX4FMU ：各种传感器数据读取、姿态解算、PWM控制量的计算、与PX4IO通信
进入主题
PX4IO 与PX4FMU 一样,在大的软件架构上分为Bootloader,OS 和APP 三个部分,OS 为Nuttx,如下图
根据自己理解画的流程图：（2016.05.19加）
1.Bootloader
在嵌入式操作系统中，BootLoader是在操作系统内核运行之前运行。可以初始化硬件设备、建立内存空间映射图，从而将系统的软硬件环境带到一个合适状态，以便为最终调用操作系统内核准备好正确的环境。在嵌入式系统中，通常并没有像BIOS那样的固件程序（注，有的嵌入式CPU也会内嵌一段短小的启动程序），因此整个系统的加载启动任务就完全由BootLoader来完成。Bootloader是嵌入式系统在加电后执行的第一段代码，在它完成CPU和相关硬件的初始化之后，再将操作系统映像或固化的嵌入式应用程序装在到内存中然后跳转到操作系统所在的空间，启动操作系统运行。
因此进入px4/Bootloader可以看到main_f1、main_f4，分别对应着PX4IO、PX4FMU
主要是负责是否升级芯片,不升级则进入OS（具体的内容还没仔细看，读者结合注释应该能够看懂）
2.Nuttx
