Yeah: I’m not sure they accept that it will cause problems.
We’ll likely get around to finishing off the hwdef for the autopilot component, but it’s it’s low priority given we don’t have confidence in the complete unit.
This makes me a little sad. Back in the day they used to make some great SWAP optimized single-board computers with ethernet and wifi.
if any one try this board can share your experience with it and what is the problem with it ?
Thanks for the feedback everyone. We are waiting for some more Coral units before we can build the next version which includes a DIP switch that will disable the PCIe->USB3 chip and the Coral module. That will eliminate the heating issue for people not interested in the Coral. For others, adding a heat sink to the PCIe->USB3 chip worked for me and kept the board at a reasonable temperature.
I’d also like to remind everyone of our current promotion (until October 15). You don’t pay the manufacturing costs ($1999 value) on Upverter boards using the FMUv6U module. You pay only for the cost of the modules placed on the board.
Go to Upverter and design a better CM4 + FMUv6U board. The current board isn’t meant to suit every need, I put as much stuff on it that I could and made sure it met the needs of my projects. Now is the time to make a custom board for yourself. The PX4 and ArduPilot software support is for the FMUv6U module so it should cover all custom designs.
We have stock of the sensors and components necessary to build the FMUv6U. I encourage everyone to give Upverter a try and then feel the pride and accomplishment of using your own custom flight control board. You can check out my talk giving some tips on how to quickly throw together a design.
Thanks again for your support.
A recent post on this blog discussed the release of a new Pixhawk, but there was no indication when that might release. Moreover, I would like to know more about the FMUv6 version 6s. Do you know when it will be released?
This is off topic. If you have follow on questions, open a new thread.
“fmu v6” is basically just a number denoting a flight controller with an STM32H7 microprocessor. There are 4 or 5 variants from different manufacturers, some are already released - fmu v6 isn’t really a standard, more just a tool for marketing agreements. Cube Orange, mRo ControlZero-H7, CUAV X7, Holybro Durandal, Qiotek Zealot H743 (all of which have been released to the market) are equivalent.

Much needed comment. So many are getting confused recently!
Hi @smithandrewc , this is Varun from Bangalore India. hope you are doing well, I wanted to understand the first time flashing of the board [The Pixhawk Side for FMUv6U, cuz I heard there are some issues with it] if I manage to custom design a board based on yours, could you please help me with that information so that I can make a decision ? Thanks in advance!
