How are the different components wired up (including port information)

USB to Pixhawk board through microusb

Additional context

I was able to copy the config into PX4AirframeFactMetaData.xml on my Mac, and it then came up on QGC, but selecting the extra options did not do anything.

This is result when I manually add to XML file, or just completely delete it with sudo rm PX4AirframeFactMetaData.xml
