# PX4 Bootloader Update
The board comes pre-installed with Betaflight (opens new window). Before PX4 firmware can be installed, the PX4 bootloader must be flashed. Download the kakutef7_bl.hex (opens new window) bootloader binary and read this page for flashing instructions.
# 编译固件
To build PX4 for this target:
make holybro_kakutef7_default
# Installing PX4 Firmware
The firmware can be installed in any of the normal ways:
- Build and upload the source
make holybro_kakutef7_default upload - Load the firmware using QGroundControl. You can use either pre-built firmware or your own custom firmware.
# 配置
If you use a 4-in-1 ESC with Betaflight/Cleanflight motor assignment you can use the Actuator configuration UI to set the motor ordering appropriately.
In addition to the basic configuration, the following parameters are important:
| 参数 | 设置 |
|---|---|
| SYS_HAS_MAG | This should be disabled since the board does not have an internal mag. You can enable it if you attach an external mag. |
# Serial Port Mapping
| UART | 设备 | Port |
|---|---|---|
| USART1 | /dev/ttyS0 | TELEM1 |
| USART2 | /dev/ttyS1 | TELEM2 |
| USART3 | /dev/ttyS2 | Debug Console |
| UART4 | /dev/ttyS3 | GPS1 |
| USART6 | /dev/ttyS4 | RC SBUS |
| UART7 | /dev/ttyS5 | ESC telemetry (DShot) |
# 调试接口
# 系统控制台
UART3 RX and TX are configured for use as the System Console.
# SWD
The SWD interface (JTAG) pins are:
SWCLK: Test Point 2 (Pin 72 on the CPU)SWDIO: Test Point 3 (Pin 76 on CPU)GND: As marked on boardVDD_3V3: As marked on board
