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
git checkout pr-px4_fmu-v6rt
git pull –recurse-submodules
Connect the Pixhawk 6X-RT FMU via USB to your PC
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)!!

(This is assuming you have PX4 bootloader already flashed – as it was done for all handed out devices on PX4 dev summit)
Do make px4_fmu-v6rt_bootloader upload
At the end of the build process the bootloader will be uploaded via USB
Do make px4_fmu-v6rt_default upload
At the end of build process PX4 FW will be uploaded via USB
This section will track the changes over time of the PX4 software support for MR-VMU-RT1176
Note instructions for burning fuses and programming the bootloader are also in this gitbook. a BLANK chip or privately manufactured board will need this done before loading flight control software. Current boards as of 03/05/2024 already have the bootloader and fuses programmed
QGC
You should be able to flash PX4 via QGC. This long term is the preferred method when it works
Flashing "main" works (03/05/2025)
Flashing "beta" currently fails. (03/05/2025)
