More I2C-Operations and better CLI

Changes in this release:

• Fix a bug where only the first Keyboard attached to I2C would work correctly (#9).
• Enable I2C operation without CAN attached (#5).
• Enable STOP/GO lines on the I2C connector.
• Completely reworked the CLI implementation.
• added Unit Test framework for RoutingTask.
• Reworked RoutingTask Architecture.
• Initial steps towards engine control forwarding between CAN and LocoNet.
• Added Reference to User Manual.

Sensor Messages, Cleanup, and Optimizations

This release adds the feature to transfer sensor messages (e.g., S88) between CAN and LocoNet.

Apart from this, this release contains a number of optimizations:

• Serial Output is now done via DMA, which should reduce the overall reaction time of message translation.
• The Settings stored in flash are now stored using a log-system, significantly reducing the wear of the flash when storing changed configuration data.
• The architecture of the RoutingTask has been massively simplified.

LocoNet and Memory Support

This release extends over the v1.2 by introducing the following improvements:

• Support for LocoNet.
• Support for Memory devices.
• Better handling of I2C communication errors.

Introduction of FreeRTOS

This release extends the connect 6021 software with a basic integration of FreeRTOS. There are no functional changes to the previous version.

DCC and Serial Console

The basic functionality was extended to now switch turnouts using the DCC protocol and Selectrix Protocol, respectively.

Using a brand-new serial console feature, you can tell the c6021light to emit CAN packets switching either Motorola, DCC or Selectrix decoders on the CAN bus.

Basic I2C-CAN-Gateway functionality

This release contains the basic functionality to connect a Keyboard 6040 to a CAN system.
