Building Firmware

Most users will not need to build this firmware! It is pre-built and automatically installed by QGroundControl when appropriate hardware is connected.

To build PX4 for this target:

make nxp_fmuk66-v3_default

Debug Port

The PX4 System Console and the SWD interface run on the DCD-LZ FMU Debug port.

NXP's DCD-LZ is a 7 pin JST-GH connector and adds the nRST/MCU_RESET pin to the Pixhawk 6-Pin standard debug port.

The DCD-LZ breakout adapter permits the use of a standard 10 pin JTAG/SWD interface (i.e. using the Segger Jlink) and a standard 5 pin FTDI USB-TTL-3V3 type cable.

Supported Platforms / Airframes

Any multicopter / airplane / rover or boat that can be controlled with normal RC servos or Futaba S-Bus servos. The complete set of supported configurations can be seen in the Airframes Reference.

HoverGames Drone Kit

The NXP HoverGames Drone Kit (shown above) is a complete drone development kit that includes everything needed to build a quadcopter. You only need to supply the 3S/4S LiPo battery.
