Is it using the same PX4 target? |
|
Yes. It's fully in 1.15 |
|
make nxp_fmurt1170-v1
Gerald can you confirm?
|
|
So, this is a new Pixhawk Autopilot Bus baseboard. Right? did you change anything on the FMU? if you didn't why not present this as a baseboard here? https://docs.px4.io/main/en/flight_controller/pixhawk_autopilot_bus.html |
|
Correct. It's very close to the Holybro one, but slight differences
- no coprocessor
- 3x CAN-FD (with signal improvement phys)
-100Base-T1 Ethernet (2-wire)
|

It might be misleading to call it a flight controller. Why not call this a Pixhawk Autopilot Bus baseboard, and put this here? https://docs.px4.io/main/en/flight_controller/pixhawk_autopilot_bus.html |
No, it's the same px4_fmu-v6xrt target in PX4 than Pixhawk 6X-RT. Baseboard is autodetected and T1 driver is used instead of 100base-TX. In principle i'm with you Ramon. But NXP will sell the combination of 6X-RT FMUM + our baseboard as VMU-RT1176. |
|
It is only sold as a complete kit with FMUM and baseboard on NXP.com and through distributors worldwide. So it is a complete flight controller (reference design or EVK)

Since you are selling this product as a standalone, listing it as a flight controller is okay. Just make sure you reference the Pixhawk FMUv6X-RT standard throughout the document. You are also mixing names with 6X and 6X-RT in some places, which will be confusing to users. Let's try to clarify where possible.
I made a few comments. I hope you can address my feedback.

I don't think this is the same, since your baseboard doesn't match holybro's. Maybe remove?

@dk7xe - Can you work on this a bit?

Since i don't have time to work on that now i suggest that we remove the wiring diagram for now. Will add it at a later stage.

Yes, intention was to get the page in and afterwards maintain the details.

| ## Voltage Ratings | ||
|
|

| _Pixhawk 6X-RT_ can be triple-redundant on the power supply if three power sources are supplied. The three power rails are: **POWER1**, **POWER2** and **USB**. |

Here you are back to referring to this product as Pixhawk 6X-RT. Is this intentional?

| The **POWER1** & **POWER2** ports on the Pixhawk 6X uses the 6 circuit [2.00mm Pitch CLIK-Mate Wire-to-Board PCB Receptacle](https://www.molex.com/molex/products/part-detail/pcb_receptacles/5024430670). |
