PX4-Setup

Toolchain setup of Embedded Coder support package for PX4 Autopilots

Introduction

Using Embedded Coder support package for PX4 Autopilots, you can generate ANSI/ISO C++ from Simulink® models specifically tailored for the Pixhawk FMU (flight management unit) using the PX4 Toolchain. You can customize algorithms that leverage onboard sensor data and other calculations at runtime.

PX4 toolchain setup

PX4 toolchain setup includes the installation of different third-party utilities like GCC 7.2.1, CMake 3.x, Ninja 1.6, Git, RTPS and certain Python packages, which are required for building the PX4 Firmware.

The shell scripts are modified versions of the PX4 Devguide, to suit the Embedded Coder support package for PX4 Autopilots. Refer the following links for instructions on how to use the shell scripts.

1. For Windows 10
2. For Linux
