dev: add a supported-mcu document

[peterbarker]

Rough draft of document.

[Hwurzburg]

needs to be included in a TOC list somewhere...perhaps learning-the-ardupilot-codebase

[Hwurzburg]

@peterbarker can we add the TOC entry and update the AP_Periph cpu list?

[nkruzan]

I doubt there is anyone that will keep this up-to-date with lead times and such, but I do like the idea of supported MCU list. Is there a way to generate the list from code somehow? IE parse the filenames of https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/tree/master/libraries/AP_HAL_ChibiOS/hwdef/scripts/STM32* to generate a table

Perhaps. I'm thinking of abandoning this concept at this point. If I haven't gotten to it before now then I probably won't :-/

[Hwurzburg]

since this is listed in the porting docs already, do we need a separate page? shall I close?

[Hwurzburg]

@peterbarker BUMP!

[Hwurzburg]

closing since page exists
