v1.5.1
2c90316

Includes a few fixes on top of v1.5:

  • Fixed a typo and make the hotspot connection name shorter;
  • Improvements in the first boot network configuration and factory reset scripts;
  • Apply the first boot network settings without requiring a reboot.

Important: Dependencies between software components

  1. This release needs the update to BIOS, FPGA and FC that we are providing as part of the generated image.

  2. New version of the BIOS (1.00.13) is necessary to have a modem connected to the M.2 interface working. The new BIOS now also powers on the Intel® RealSense™ camera, although we will continue to support resetting it late during boot. The BIOS rpm can be downloaded from Download Center and it's now also available in the system image. Steps to update it are at https://intel-aero.github.io/getting-started/update/#bios

  3. The updated PX4 and ArduPilot firmwares included in v1.5 provide an extra I2C bus. This allows to connect extra peripherals like a lidar without interfering with the mag. For that we are using the unused flow control pins on the telemetry connector of the RTF.

In case of update of only Aero FC but not the FPGA, and vice-versa:

  • The FC will not detect GPS and Mag
  • Communication with the FC still works so it's possible to bring the old FC firmware back
