Agam Autopilot V6X-RT supports only PX4 firmware from version V1.15 release or later.
Generally you should use the most recent released version of PX4, in order to benefit from bug fixes and get the latest and greatest features.
To install PX4:
Start QGroundControl and connect the vehicle.
Select "Q" icon > Vehicle Setup > Firmware (sidebar) to open Firmware Setup.
Connect the flight controller directly to your computer via USB.
Note
Connect directly to a powered USB port on your machine (do not connect through a USB hub).
Select the PX4 Flight Stack V.1.15.x Release option to install the latest stable version of PX4 for your Agam Autopilot v6X-RT. (autodetected).
Agam Autopilot V6X-RT doesn't support Ardupilot and do not attempt to flash Ardupilot. This will void the warranty of the hardware.
Click the OK button to start the update.
The firmware will then proceed through a number of upgrade steps (downloading new firmware, erasing old firmware etc.). Each step is printed to the screen and overall progress is displayed on a progress bar.
Once the firmware has completed loading, the device/vehicle will reboot and reconnect.
To install a different version of PX4:
Connect the vehicle as above, and select PX4 Flight Stack v1.15.x Stable Release.
Check Advanced settings and select the version from the dropdown list:
Standard Version (stable): The default version (i.e. no need to use advanced settings to install this!)
Beta Testing (beta): A beta/Release Candidate(RC) . Only available when a new release is being prepared.
Developer Build (master): The latest build of PX4/PX4-Autopilot.
Custom Firmware file...: A custom firmware file (e.g. that you have built locally). If you select this you will have to choose the custom firmware from the file system in the next step.
Firmware update then continues as before.
