The boards are organized by vendor and model.
- `H… ex/Cube-Yellow` (hex_cube-yellow_default) -> `CubePilot/Yellow` (cubepilot_yellow_default)
- `Hex/Cube-Orange` (hex_cube-orange_default) -> `CubePilot/Orange` (cubepilot_orange_default)

### SP Racing H7 EXTREME
Greetings PX4 community. Here is my pull request for… a new board SP Racing H7 EXTREME.
The owner of the board is [Dominic Clifton](https://github.com/hydra), the person behind Cleanflight. I think he will be greater reinforcement in the PX4 community. Please welcome him :)
More about the board here: http://seriouslypro.com/spracingh7extreme (don't rush to buy it, the FLASH is a bit different, contact Dominic first)
What is new and why took me so long to port PX4 to it?
- the original board use W25N01G FLASH, that doesn't support memory-mapped mode
- we change it with W25Q128 and now code is running from external FLASH over QSPI protocol
- the board also using external FLASH for storing PX4 configuration
- code is capable to switch between memory-mapped mode to indirect mode to write configuration
- all board depended on code is in "board/SPRacing/h7extreme" folder
- there is a small number of changes in "flashfs.c" to enable external FLASH as storage for config
- a lot of time-critical code is moved into ITCM or RAM using linker script (check script.ld)
Board has a capability of 10 DShots but now it is limited to **8 DShot** outputs and all of them work!
This is a very powerful board that waits to be unlocked.
Things that hardware support but still need to be worked on:
- 2 synchronized gyros (now it use only one)
- MCU speed at 480 MHz (now is at 400 MHz)
- 10 DShot outputs
- <s>OSD enabled</s> This is done: #15487

If you are interested in board contact Dominic for more details.

PX4 version will be compatible with betaflight also :)

The fix to the UART link of the microRTPS bridge was finally merged. microRTPS is now fully functional with serial:

Agent protocol splitter
The protocol splitter allows propagating RTPS and MAVLink packets in the same link and demultiplexes them on the agent side
Finalizing details it’s scheduled to go live this week
After launch, it’s planned to be hosted next week as a standalone repository.
@PavelKirienko and @thirtytwobits @dagar to implement a “register interface” and “port ID configuration” on the PX4 side for the UAVCAN v1.0 client.

The last remaining blocker (Land Detector Issue ) has been merged.
We are moving forward with v1.11-RC1
Calling for help from the community, we need tests!
After the v1.11 release, what’s next?
More regular release schedule going forward.
fixed periods for mater to beta, beta to stable
Shorter cycles
Dedicated test team (sponsored by Dronecode)
No discussions today.
Let me know below if we failed to capture anything the right way, and if there are any updates (not present here), or you have feedback you would like to share with the dev-team.
