Pixhawk 6X-RT (FMURT7) - IMPORTANT change 10/26/2023

Update 10/26/2023 Dear Pixhawk 6X-RT testers (all on Bcc),

This change notice is due to the change of the PX4 build target name of 6X-RT to its final name px4_fmu-v6xrt

The PX4 development branch has been changed to pr-px4_fmu-v6rt. Please checkout this branch and use for building the PX4 FW from now on.

Steps to update

Within your PX4-Autopilot git directory do the following

1. git checkout pr-px4_fmu-v6rt

2. git pull –recurse-submodules

3. Connect the Pixhawk 6X-RT FMU via USB to your PC

   (This is assuming you have PX4 bootloader already flashed – as it was done for all handed out devices on PX4 dev summit)

4. Do make px4_fmu-v6rt_bootloader upload

   At the end of the build process the bootloader will be uploaded via USB

5. Do make px4_fmu-v6rt_default upload

   At the end of build process PX4 FW will be uploaded via USB

IMPORTANT - There is hard fault logging enabled at the moment in this branch. If you are flight testing the FMU please switch that off with “CONFIG_DEBUG_ASSERTIONS=n” within “boards/nxp/fmurt1170-v1/nuttx-config/nsh/defconfig” before building the code (before step 4)!!
