安装MAVLink工具链

This topic explains how to install the MAVLink toolchain. The toolchain includes the XML message definitions as well as the the GUI/command line tools that use the definitions to Generate MAVLink Source Files.

TIP

You do not need to install or generate the source files if you are using the C programming language and a standard dialect. Just get the prebuilt libraries and then jump to Using C Libraries.

先决条件

The requirements for using the MAVLink generator are:

• Python 3.3+
• pip3 install future
• TkInter (required to use the GUI tool), included as of Python 3.7.

如果您要创建新的XML定义，您还应该安装lxml和libxml2以进行XML的验证和格式化。

安装

安装MAVLink工具链：

1. Install Python 3.6+:

   • Windows: Download from Python for Windows
   • Ubuntu Linux Make sure Python and Pip are both installed:

     sudo apt install python3-tk

2. Clone the official mavlink repo or your fork with your custom dialect:

   git clone https://github.com/mavlink/mavlink.git --recursive

3. Install the required packages:

   sudo apt install python3-pip

Now you are ready to Generate MAVLink Libraries.
