From the docs, it can be seen that your project has two computing modules, one is FMU and the other is IO. Is there anything irreplaceable about IO modules? Can FMU merge all the functions of IO computing module? So that the two modules can be merged into one. And with the development, the current pixhawk 6x FMU is the high-performance STM32H753, while the IO is only the low-performance STM32F100, the latter work can be completely done by the former. Thanks.

IO microcontroller is not mandatory. There are many boards without it.
