Trying to compile ArduCopter for a HkPilot32 flight controller but unsure of the following board types to use ?

Since mission planner detects the board type is there a way that I can tell from it what board type to use ?

Pixhawk1 or fmuv3 will be fine for those

Thanks, could I have got this information from the BRD_TYPE parameter after installing the standard firmware on this board ?. The BRD_TYPE is currently set at 2.

I’ve noticed another way Mission Planner detects and displays the board type.

  • Start MP with board disconnected
  • Connect board by plugging in USB cable
  • Initial Config menu -> Install Firmware
  • Select appropriate frame icon
  • Confirm that you want to load that firmware by selecting “yes”

The next pop up will be a small window asking “Upload Chibios ?” but before answering check to the bottom left of the screen just under the progress bar and you should see what type of board that MP detected. I have a Pixhawk 2.4.8 (its a clone) and it detected it as a px4v2 which is one of the board types used in the compilation.

It depends on the bootloader version.
A newish bootloader will be very good at identifyingo the board, older bootloaders are more generic.

It looks like the HkPilot32 board id is px4v3. I compiled with the board type px4-v3 but noticed that its using Nuttx. Tried with fmuv3 and that seems to use chibios. Its also one of the board types you suggested in you original reply so will use that one.
