Hi everybody!
Someone knows if this board is supported by Librepilot?

https://www.banggood.com/Eachine-32bits-F4-Brushed-Flight-Control-Board-Based-On-Openpilot-CC3D-Revolutio-For-Micro-FPV-Frame-p-1084264.html?rmmds=search

Thanks

Brushed motor can be configured like here:
https://forum.librepilot.org/index.php?topic=1501.msg11312#msg11312

The main issue with this board are the missing Mag and Baro that mean this is not a Revo board.

This could actually work with F3 support branch (soon to be merged into next) - as there is additional fusion algorithm that allows operation without barometer. https://bitbucket.org/librepilot/librepilot/pull-requests/426/lp-512-support-f3-boards/diff

Amazing thanks!

I will try and I let you know
Thanks

I built branch LP-512 but still, it cannot recognize the board...

This is my dmesg:

[ 1727.270293] usb 1-2: USB disconnect, device number 8

and this is lsusb:

If I can help on this...
Greetings

It looks like you have a BetaFlight bootloader on it.

I recall that the F3 has USB support, so temporarily solder a blob on the SBL jumper, plug in USB and use something like this to flash Entire Firmware (bootloader and normal firmware).

This is the command for the Revo board.  You will have to change ef_revolution to ef_? to match the new firmware name.  Also, it is possible that the "-d 0483:df11" is wrong for this board.  Maybe remove the -d command or find the correct USBID number.

dfu-util -d 0483:df11 -c 1 -i 0 -a 0 -D build/firmware/ef_revolution/ef_revolution.bin -s 0x08000000

First you will have to "make ef_whatever" with whatever replaced by the correct name for this new firmware

[f5soh]

We are talking about a F4 board.

You can also try the short method using make:

Code: [Select]

make ef_revolution_dfu
After installed dfu-util package in your system.

Edit:

Code: [Select]

If this board has cleanflight or betaflight on it, it could be easier to use cleanflight configurator to burn in librepilot bootloader. You can make bootloader for any board in hex format like this:

make bl_revolution_hex

Just use produced hex file as cleanflight firmware and then do the "Rescue" procedure from GCS/Firmware page.

[fboriero]

that's strange... After I did

Code: [Select]

make ef_revolution_dfu I had this output:

one: processed 117 XML files and generated 117 objects with no ID collisions. Total size of the data fields is 5041 bytes.

sudo: /home/fabrizio/tools/librepilot/tools/dfu-util/bin/dfu-util: command not found

But I have installed dfu-util in Debian 9 (version 0.9) and it is searching for an exec in local directory...

Anyway, with mr_w method it runs!!!!

Thanks for your help

/home/fabrizio/tools/librepilot/tools/dfu-util/bin/dfu-util: command not found

Sorry, need dfu-util to be installed locally using 'make dfuutil_install'

Anyways flashing from Cleanflight is more simple.

[fboriero]

Ah ok, thanks

The problem now is that the mag is not recognized...

[f5soh]

There is no Mag and Baro in this board.

Even if you use a external Mag, the Baro still missing.
