There would be two ways to do it.
Either bare-bone. Just port to the new hardware. (Similar or same CPU AFAIK)

But what would be really cool would be to run ppz as a application in 
NutX. We could even get the FBW/AP split back by running in two processes.
Not sure if that would bring any insurmountable problems. But in any 
case, it's far from trivial.
(Ardupilot has done this)

But really, I'm just having a rainbow shining out of my arse right now. 
I can't even contemplate the effort or required steps in any detail. I 
just hope someone picks up the ball and runs with it.
I just want Paparazzi on this hardware really badly. :D

The PX4 software is developing quite interestingly as well. I like what 
I see, but I think it will take a very long while for that to get 
anywhere near ppz case of features and reliability.
The stack looks sweet though. Could get used to that...
