/// This is the base class for Firmware specific plugins

/// The FirmwarePlugin class is the abstract base class which represents the methods and objects
/// which are specific to a certain Firmware flight stack. This is the only place where
/// flight stack specific code should reside in QGroundControl. The remainder of the
/// QGroundControl source is generic to a common mavlink implementation. The implementation
/// in the base class supports mavlink generic firmware. Override the base clase virtuals
/// to create you firmware specific plugin.
