I have just started to use the gazebo simulation 1.14.3 and therefore I just downloaded the latest v4.4.2 QGroundControll.AppImage and I am encountering this firmware error on QGC. I did not get the error on WIndows machines…
If Simulation or Flightcontroller on Linux (Pop OS 22.04 LTS) I get the same error. How can I fix it, if possible?
Try an earlier QGroundControl.AppImage, these are daily builds and may have some bugs in them (mine failed on ubuntu 22.04 and I had to go back to an earlier QGC)
Can you try resetting the parameters to default on your hardware? Let me know if that fixed your issue please.
@rroche I have still the same issue, when I reset the parameters.
I also faced this issue. I think PX4 1.14.3 has some bug. You need to try another version. For me, latest 1.15 worked.
Okay, @amit9 I will give it a try. Thanks for the advice
@diana_diaz Can you confirm if it works for you on v1.15?
This error indicates a mismatch between QGC parameter metadata and autopilot metadata - i.e. QGC has downloaded all the parameters and it has detected that some of them don’t have documentation. Prior to v1.13 this data was manually copied to QGC for current versions of PX4, and sometimes you would get this error. From v1.13 there is a MAVLink API called Component Metadata Protocol where the matching data is on the vehicle itself. So QGC is supposed to query for that and use it if present - and it should never get out of sync.
@rroche Remember the pre-release bug I had where not all parameter metadata was being built. We fixed this in main and v1.15, but it is quite possible it was in PX4 v1.14, which might have caused this problem fix metadata.cmake: add missing paths to json & xml parameter outputs by bkueng · Pull Request #23464 · PX4/PX4-Autopilot · GitHub
@hamishwillee I changed my sim to 1.15.0beta and 1.15.0 I do not have this issue anymore, looks like it is now fixed.
Thanks for your information
