# PX4 参考飞行控制器设计

The PX4 reference design is the [Pixhawk series](../flight_controller/pixhawk_series.md) of flight controllers. First released in 2011, this design is now in its 5th [generation](#reference_design_generations) (with the 6th generation board design in progress).

## 二进制兼容性

所有按照特定设计制造的主板预计与二进制兼容（即可以运行相同的固件）。 从2018年起，我们将提供一个二进制兼容性测试套件，使我们能够验证兼容性。

第1-3代 FMU 设计用于开源硬件，但到了第4-5代只提供 pin 输出引脚和供电规格（原理图由个人开发者生成）。 为了可以更好的确保兼容性，FMUv6 及更新的版本重新提供完整的设计模型。

## Main/IO 功能分解

下图展示了在Pixhawk系列飞行控制器（这些板被合并进一个单独的物理模块中）中 FMU 和 I/O 板之间总线和功能的职能划分。

一些Pixhawk系列控制器为了减少空间或复杂性，或者更好解决使用问题，没有通过I/O板构建。
In this case the I/O driver is not started.

:::info
Manufacturer flight controller variants without an I/O board are often named as a "diminutive" of a version that includes the I/O board: e.g. _Pixhawk 4_ **Mini**_, \_CUAV v5 **nano**_.
:::

Build targets that must run on flight controllers with an I/O board map the FMU outputs to `AUX` and the I/0 outputs to `MAIN` (see diagram above).
If the target is run on hardware where I/O board is not present or has been disabled, the PWM MAIN outputs will not be present.
You might see this, for example, by running `px4_fmu-v5_default` on [Pixhawk 4](../flight_controller/pixhawk4.md) (with IO) and [Pixhawk 4 Mini](../flight_controller/pixhawk4_mini.md) (without I/O).

:::warning
On [Pixhawk 4 Mini](../flight_controller/pixhawk4_mini.md) this results in a mismatch between the `MAIN` label screenprinted on the flight controller and the `AUX` bus shown during [Actuator Configuration](../config/actuators.md).
::: info that if a build target is only ever intended to run on a flight controller that does not have an I/0 board, then the FMU outputs are mapped to `MAIN` (for example, the `px4_fmu-v4_default` target for [Pixracer](../flight_controller/pixracer.md)).

PX4 PWM outputs are mapped to either `MAIN` or `AUX` ports in [Actuator Configuration](../config/actuators.md).
