Release

There is a new v1.12 Beta 6: Release v1.12 Beta 6 · PX4/PX4-Autopilot · GitHub

Any further testing is welcome. Auterion and Volansi are verifying the VTOL PWM issues are fixed.

@Jacob_Crabill verified during the call that on Beta 6 the reported VTOL PWM isssue is gone in a bench test on a pixhawk 4.

Community Q&A

  • @Jacob_Crabill Were the SITL CI random failures fixed? Since it seems to be quite stable now. Was there any single point of failure? He’s asking because internal CI tests are failing intermittently. There was no single reason. There were small timing details fixed on PX4 and multiple SITL MAVSDK tests were adjusted to e.g. having adequate timeouts for slower CI worker execution.

  • Eren Ipek is asking why CI fails on TFMini Plus i2c Driver by erenipekk · Pull Request #17645 · PX4/PX4-Autopilot · GitHub
    It’s because NuttX changed getopt() to camel case naming getOpt().

Roadmap

  • @david_s5 reports from the security coordination call. There were discussions on libraries to support different hardware with a consistent API to allow key storage and other cryptography calls on the drone.
