Hi everyone, I have a question about ardupilot bootloader. I am using cube orange autopilot in my projects. İs there a solution of upload new firmware from different port?(Telem1, Telem2, CONS{UART5})

Cube Black series autopilot has cons port for upload new firmware via UART5. Cube orange hasn’t cons port because of ADSB specification. I am added the code lines to hwdef-bl.dat file of Cube Orange in AP_HAL_ChibiOS. Then I build the bootloader and plane code according to cube orange hardware. But I could not update FCU code from telem1. 1. Is there a anybody for help me?

No, that is not possible, you need to use the USB connection.

Why is this not possible? Must we use just defined ports in hwdef file according to FCU type?
