Could not calibrate magnetometer on BeagleBone Blue

[silentjet]

Describe the bug
Could not calibrate sensors (mag, accel, gyro) on BeagleBone Blue board.
Every calibration ends up with several timeout error messages.
When installing the board to the actual frame of the drone, it is almost impossible to fly due to the huge instability and constant jerking.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Board powered up
2. px4 service is started manually by using the following command:

sudo build/beaglebone_blue_native/bin/px4 -s posix-configs/bbblue/px4.config

3. By using WiFi QGC connects to the px4
4. Starting calibration of the compass or gyro from Sensors menu
5. Calibration failed with a timeouts

Expected behavior
Calibration succeed. Drone behaves stable when in the air.

Additional context
OS: Debian for BeagleBone family

Just FYI, I'm not aware of anyone currently using PX4 on the BeagleBone Blue, so you'll probably have to fix these things yourself.

Also, the plan is to deprecate the DriverFramework at some point which would mean some changes for the BBB coming up. On the flipside this would then make thinks like calibration consistent again and prevent these sorts of issues.
