Bootloader for PX4 on STM32F1/F3/F4/F7

Note that bootloaders for STM32H7 are in PX4 tree.

This repository is just for legacy bootloaders on STM32F1/F3/F4/F7.

Board IDs board_types.txt

This repository also serves to keep track of board IDs for PX4 in board_types.txt.

It should be kept in sync with ArduPilot's board_types.txt as much as possible.

Build instructions

Build all targets:

git submodule sync --recursive
git submodule update --init --recursive
make

The binaries will be in build/BOARDNAME/BOARDNAME.elf. Two files are built: ELF files for use with JTAG adapters and BIN files for direct onboard upgrading.

Build a specific board: Please check the Makefile for specific build targets.

Bootloader Usage

The typical use case as used for the the PX4IO is described in px4pipbl.pdf.

To avoid accidental erasure or bad image loading:

• The bootloader needs to receive PROTO_GET_SYNC and PROTO_GET_DEVICE prior to receiving PROTO_CHIP_ERASE.
• The bootloader needs to receive PROTO_GET_SYNC and PROTO_GET_DEVICE and PROTO_PROG_MULTI and PROTO_GET_CRC prior to receiving PROTO_BOOT.
