## Building Firmware
To [build PX4](../dev_setup/building_px4.md) for this target:
```sh
make radiolink_PIX6_default
```
## Installing PX4 Firmware
The firmware can be installed in any of the normal ways:
- Build and upload the source
```sh
make radiolink_PIX6_default upload
```
- [Load the firmware](../config/firmware.md) using _QGroundControl_.
You can use either pre-built firmware or your own custom firmware.
::: info
At time of writing the only pre-built software is `PX4 main` (see [Installing PX4 Main, Beta or Custom Firmware](../config/firmware.md#installing-px4-main-beta-or-custom-firmware)).
Release builds will be supported for PX4 v1.17 and later.
:::
## PX4 Configuration
In addition to the [basic configuration](../config/index.md), the following parameters are important:
| Parameter | Setting |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [SYS_HAS_MAG](../advanced_config/parameter_reference.md#SYS_HAS_MAG) | This should be disabled since the board does not have an internal mag. You can enable it if you attach an external mag. |
### Powering the PIX6
The PIX6 has 2 dedicated power monitor ports, each with a 6 pin connector.
One is the Analog power monitor (`POWER1`), and the others is the I2C power monitor (`POWER2`).
The power module that comes with the flight controller with a wide voltage input range of 2-12S (7.4-50.4V), a maximum detection current of 90A (single ESC maximum detection current is 22.5A), a BEC output voltage of 5.3±0.2V, and a BEC output current of 2A.
![Radiolink power modules MODULES](../../assets/flight_controller/radiolink_pix6/radiolink_power_modules.png)
The PIX6 also supports power modules from other manufacturers, such as [holybro_pm02d](../power_module/holybro_pm02d.md).
## Recommended Accessories
### GPS Modules
Radiolink manufactures a variety of high-performance GPS,Dual Anti-interference Technology Worry-free of UAV High-power Image Transmission, High-Voltage Lines, or Other Strong Signal Interference.
The PIX6 has 2 dedicated GPS ports, `GPS1` and `GPS2`, each with a 6 pin connector.
Recommended modules include:
- [Radiolink SE100](https://radiolink.com.cn/se100)
- [Radiolink TS100](https://radiolink.com.cn/ts100v2)
- [Radiolink RTK F9P](https://radiolink.com.cn/rtk_f9p)
## Serial Port Mapping
| UART | Device | Port |
| ------ | ---------- | --------------------- |
| UART1 | /dev/ttyS0 | GPS1 |
| USART2 | /dev/ttyS1 | TELEM1 (flow control) |
| USART3 | /dev/ttyS2 | TELEM2 (flow control) |
| UART4 | /dev/ttyS3 | GPS2 |
| UART7 | /dev/ttyS4 | Debug Console |
| UART8 | /dev/ttyS5 | PX4IO |
## Analog inputs
The Radiolink PIX6 has 3 analog inputs, one 6V tolerant and two 3.3V tolerant.
- ADC Pin12 -> ADC 6.6V Sense
- ADC Pin4 -> ADC IN1 3.3V Sense
- ADC Pin13 -> ADC IN2 3.3V Sense
## Radio Control
A [Radio Control (RC)](../getting_started/rc_transmitter_receiver.md) system is required if you want to _manually_ control your vehicle (PX4 does not require a radio system for autonomous flight modes).
You will need to [select a compatible transmitter/receiver](../getting_started/rc_transmitter_receiver.md) and then _bind_ them so that they communicate (read the instructions that come with your specific transmitter/receiver).
- Spektrum/DSM receivers connect to the **DSM/SBUS RC** input.
- PPM or SBUS receivers connect to the **RC IN** input port.
- CRSF receiver must be wired to a spare port (UART) on the Flight Controller.
Then you can bind the transmitter and receiver together.
#### CRSF Parameter Configuration
[Find and set](../advanced_config/parameters.md) the following parameters:
1. Set [RC_CRSF_PRT_CFG](../advanced_config/parameter_reference.md#RC_CRSF_PRT_CFG) to the port that is connected to the CRSF receiver (such as `TELEM1`).
This [configures the serial port](../peripherals/serial_configuration.md) to use the CRSF protocol.
Note that some serial ports may already have a [default serial port mapping](../peripherals/serial_configuration.md#default-serial-port-configuration) or [default MAVLink serial port mapping](../peripherals/mavlink_peripherals.md#default-mavlink-ports) that you will have to un-map before you can assign the port to CRSF.
For example, if you want to use `TELEM1` or `TELEM2` you first need to modify [MAV_0_CONFIG](../advanced_config/parameter_reference.md#MAV_0_CONFIG) or [MAV_1_CONFIG](../advanced_config/parameter_reference.md#MAV_1_CONFIG) to stop setting those ports.
There is no need to set the baud rate for the port, as this is configured by the driver.
1. Enable [RC_CRSF_TEL_EN](../advanced_config/parameter_reference.md#RC_CRSF_TEL_EN) to activate Crossfire telemetry.
For more information about selecting a radio system, receiver compatibility, and binding your transmitter/receiver pair, see: [Remote Control Transmitters & Receivers](../getting_started/rc_transmitter_receiver.md).
