ST-Link pinout

ST-Link is not required, you can flash using DFU mode without any additional hardware.

ST-Link pinout

Selected build time options

Option Values Description
DFPLAYER NO/YES Enable DFPlayer Voice support (Since 1.11.0+)
FLYSKY_GIMBAL NO/YES Enable FlySky FS-HZCZ03-ADJ gimbal support (Since 1.11.0+)
PCBI6X_ELRS NO/YES Enable ExpressLRS/CRSF configuration tool (LUA alternative)
PCBI6X_INAV NO/YES Enable INAV Lite radar screen
PCBI6X_HELLO NO/YES Example "Hello World" radio tool to help interested programmers to create their own
USB_SERIAL NO/YES Enables USB Serial modes - Telemetry mirror or debug in DEBUG build.
USB_MSD NO/YES Enables USB Mass Storage mode.
AFHDS2A_LQI_CH 1-17 Injects RSSI at channel, default: 17
CRSF_UNINVERTED NO/YES Disable inversion of S.Port(CRSF), useful if you want to use ExpressLRS RX as TX option.(since 1.11.0+)
CRSF_EXTENDED_TYPES NO/YES Enable CRSF configuration parameters STRING and FLOAT types support.
FAKE_RSSI NO/YES Converts TRSS to RSSI data for receivers not sending RSSI.
EXTPWR_INVERT NO/YES Invert ext module power pin PC13 to allow use of P-MOSFET. (since 1.12.0+)
PPM_UNIT US/PERCENT_PREC0/PERCENT_PREC1 Channel value unit
DEBUG NO/YES Enable DEBUG serial output

Compile

docker run --rm -it -e "BOARD_NAME=i6x" -e "CMAKE_FLAGS=PCB=I6X HELI=NO GVARS=YES PCBI6X_INAV=NO PCBI6X_ELRS=YES DEBUG=NO" -v ${PWD}:/opentx ajjjjjjjj/opentx-docker-i6x

Images to use:

ajjjjjjjj/opentx-docker-i6x - to compile using recent GCC version with LTO, this is current default.

vitass/opentx-fw-build - to compile older versions (1.8.0 and older) using GCC 4.7.

Flash

ST-Link: sudo st-flash write <file_to_flash>.bin 0x08000000

STM32 USB DFU Mode: dfu-util -a0 -s 0x08000000:leave -d 0483:df11 -D <file_to_flash>.bin

APM32 USB DFU Mode: dfu-util -a0 -s 0x08000000:leave -d 314b:0106 -D <file_to_flash>.bin

Debug port

Use USB Serial mode for debug log or AUX Serial port TX located at PA9 PCB pad. Serial port runs @115200 bauds, 8N1.
