Minla HDW firmware upgrade v1.05

New firmware includes following bugfixes:
  1. Some mavlink messages were incorrectly dropped due to wrong checksum (EKF and Vibration as example). This upgrade fixes this.
  2. Improves stability of mavlink data flow.

Step-by-step upgrade process:

1. Switch off Minla HDW and open enclosure by unscrewing 4 screws on back cover. You will see pcb with microsd card. Carefully remove microsd card (do not bend camera flex pcb without a reason) and insert it in your PC.

2. Download and extract microsd card image from this archive:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1OP4tHxBrEiYqPEhyBBy4dkIX1xFlgV3c
As a result you must have minlahdw_sd_image_prod_v1.05_02.11.2018.img image file.

3. Next flash this file to microsd card by using any flashing software (for example https://etcher.io/on Windows or "disks" on Linux).

4. After flashing is completed open this file on microsd card:
/minlahdw/config.json
and find string
"uid": "place_your_id_here"
change "place_your_id_here" to your Minla HDW UID.
Please note that UID must remain in quotes. So final string shall look something like this:
"uid": "ITjonwk3245221",

5. Save changes, insert card back to Minla HDW and close plastic enclosure.

6. Connect Minla HDW to flight controller.
