Arducopter support on New flight controller

ArduCopter Copter 4.3
1

I am reaching out for advice- I am trying to build a new UAV using a new flight controller (FC) (Ark Flight Controller) entering the market … the controller comes loaded with PX4 however I wanted to use Arducopter… In theory it should work.
How is arducopter firmware loaded on a new FC,?..

My intent is to first replace a cube on an existing copter and test it before using it on a new X8… my set ups are pretty basic now cube, kde motors / esc (any other suggections on esc), Mauch power, Here compass, RFD w/ TX mod for coms and alex mos gimbal board… so I am looking for advice if there would be any red flags to watch for in testing a new (PX4) Fight controller?

Thanks

I belive its basically a pixhawk FMUV6x and is supported.

I did receive this message from the board developer…
“I don’t think you will be able to load Arducopter without a hwdef file made for the ARKV6X in Ardupilot. You will also need to update Mission-planner to recognize the ARKV6X”

If anyone can help me with the steps to get arducopter loaded on the board it is much appreciated
Thanks!

See the ardupilot firmware for the ARKV6X here.
