Adding firmware versions into QGroundControl interface

QGroundControl

Is there a way or is it possible to display the current firmware version that I’m using into the QGC interface?

I have multiples versions of the same firmware of a USV, and to upload it to the Cube Orange Plus is kinda difficulty because I need to update and plug the USB into the Cube Orange for uploading my firmware, and also unplug all my devices.

Recently I mistaken my directories and I uploaded the wrong version.

The solution for me, that I was thinking is to have a way to identifies my current firmware version, and show what version I currently uploaded into the Cube by QGC interface, not via console NuttX console or anything.

QGC itself doesn’t display the custom firmware version string. What you can see under Vehicle Setup → Summary → Firmware is just the autopilot type/branch, not your exact build. If you want version info visible in QGC, you’d need to bump the PX4_GIT_VERSION / VERSION_TAG in your build (FirmwareVersion.cpp) so QGC reports it. Otherwise, you have to check via MAVLink console (ver all) or the NuttX shell.
