QGC PX4 Firmware Issue

loganlamm17 — Fri, 14 Jan 2022 07:15:52 GMT

Hello,

I recently finished uploading the bootloader and JLink debugging code into the FMU. I followed the process that was provided by the NXP Hovergames drone tutorial, and downloaded the QGC software to connect to the drone; thus input individual code with MAVLink. However, I ran into an issue with trying to upgrade the firmware and connect to the software. The message came up where the FMU time-ed out trying to connect to the software. I believe one issue is that I haven't used an updated QGC application since I downloaded it in October of 2021. I used the same bin codes from the NXP site, so I don't believe there is an issue with the binary codes for the firmware. What is the possible solution to this? I am so close to completing my project, and I don't want to be held back because of this.

I was able to retry installing the bootloader via the JLink debugger. I made sure to write 0x0 after including the file name for the loadbin command. This fixed the issue of connecting the FMU to the QGC Software.
