Ensure that Companion Computer docs or DK docs cover installation of files to UAV.

Until Solo there was no "standard" drone with a companion computer - it was all DIY. So what we did is point to the various Companion Computer options on the wiki which explain how to do all setup (including getting the files on board). This is Linux computing, so there are a number of ways of getting files to a device - FTP, rsync, wget - whatever.

Mid-term there will be a lot more Companion Computers configured as for Solo than any other DIY configuration, and this will have a pre-configured setup for getting files on board. Given that, it probably makes sense to update our docs with Solo-centric examples (talk about Solo and then point to the DIY options).

Discussion started on api support group here

This is on hold until we learn a bit more about Solo approaches.

I think putting your code into a companion board should be a given and everyone should handle it as their setup best allows them to on a DIY setup, if we are talking specifically about Solo then it should be noted that Solo has many components and that it probably is going to be a different setup to what is currently out there, I think we would need to offload this to the Solo SDK docs on how to move dronekit specific files and how to run them on Solo.

TL;DR; Agreed, lets wait until Solo is shipped and the official SDK is out

Personally I think mid-term we should integrate with Mission Planner or Tower to handle the upload - possibly with the DroneKit setup configuring the companion computer to support the upload method.

More than happy to wait on Solo.
