Searching for autopilot equivalent actions in PX4

PX4 Autopilot Flight Controllers 💻
1

Hey guys,

Trying to get a px4 autopilot running on beaglebone. I have two questions:

  1. Is there a px4 equivalent of:
    [Part 2 - Putting ArduPilot on the BeagleBone Blue: Step 17]
    I see beaglebone blue config defined at “…/Firmware/boards/beaglebone/blue/default.px4board”, do I need to add below and cross compile:
    CONFIG_BOARD_SERIAL_TEL1=“-C /dev/ttyS1”
    CONFIG_BOARD_SERIAL_TEL2=“-A udp::14550”
    CONFIG_BOARD_SERIAL_GPS1=“-B /dev/ttyS2”

  2. Is there PX4 equivalent of [Part 2 - Putting ArduPilot on the BeagleBone Blue: Step 18], where I can enable certain HW actions before the PX4 software runs ? Or is already included as part of PX4 configuration for beaglebone

  1. Have you looked at the docs? BeagleBone Blue | PX4 User Guide

For serial port configuration you want to see Serial Port Configuration | PX4 User Guide and MAVLink Peripherals (GCS/OSD/Companion) | PX4 User Guide

  1. Perhaps use the normal autostart?
    BeagleBone Blue | PX4 User Guide

Note, I haven’t tried this, so if not in the docs can’t help. Would welcome your feedback if any sections seem incorrect.
