Updating the Flight Controller Firmware

The ARKV6X Flight Controller can be flashed with PX4 or ArduPilot.

From the Web UI

Open the ARK-UI Autopilot page, select the Firmware tab, and upload a .px4 or .apj firmware file.

From the Command Line

SSH into the Jetson and run the ARK-OS flashing tool (on PATH):

flash_firmware.sh <firmware.px4>

Run without an argument to flash the PX4 image bundled with ARK-OS.

Firmware Binaries

• PX4: ark_fmu-v6x builds from the PX4 releases page

• ArduPilot: ARK_FMU_V6X builds from firmware.ardupilot.org

If the flight controller does not enumerate over USB, recover the bootloader over SWD: ST-LINK Flashing Guide.
