Intel Aero RTF installation hiccup: Having problems making a full installation of all the Firmware for the Intel Aero RTF Drone using Ubuntu Software Development #401

Closed AauSurfaceGo closed 5 years ago

Hello,

I am currently trying to make a full installation of Ubuntu OS on my Intel Aero RTF Drone but I am having some problems with some of the Firmware. I went through the Yocto installation with this guide

https://github.com/intel-aero/meta-intel-aero/wiki/02-Initial-Setup#flashing-the-flight-controller-rtf-only

and had no problems, but when I tried to follow the Ubuntu one so that I can do software development with this guide:

https://github.com/intel-aero/meta-intel-aero/wiki/90-(References)-OS-user-Installation

I run into issues regarding the AIRMAP version and the AeroFC Firmware version as they appear as "Unknown" after i complete the installation. I am trying to install PX4 on the drone and this is the information i get after running "aero-get-version.py":

BIOS_VERSION = Aero-01.00.13

OS_VERSION = Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS"

AIRMAP_VERSION = unknown

FPGA_VERSION = 0xc2

AeroFC firmware version = unknown

Also, the drone does not appear as connected in QGroundControl but i still receive the video footage from my on-board Intel RealSense R200. I hope someone can give me some guidance on how to solve this issue.

Thank you.

Hi again,

I've fixed the issue. The "sudo aero-get-version.py" command now gives the following output:

BIOS_VERSION = Aero-01.00.13 OS_VERSION = Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS" AIRMAP_VERSION = unknown FPGA_VERSION = 0xc2 AeroFC firmware version = 1.6.5

I fixed this issue by following the following link: https://github.com/intel-aero/packages/issues/37
