Companion computers ("mission computers"), are separate on-vehicle computers that are connected to the flight controller, and which enable computationally expensive features like [collision prevention](../computer_vision/collision_prevention.md).
|
|
|
|
The diagram below shows a possible architecture for an unmanned vehicle architecture that includes a flight controller and companion computer.

|
|
|
|
The flight controller runs PX4 on NuttX, and provides core flight and safety code.
|
|
The companion computer usually runs Linux, as this is a much better platform for "general" software development.
|
|
They are connected using a fast serial or Ethernet link, and typically communicate using the [MAVLink protocol](https://mavlink.io/en/) or uXRCE-DDS.
|
|
|
|
Communications with the ground stations and the cloud are usually routed via the companion computer (e.g. using the [MAVLink Router](https://github.com/mavlink-router/mavlink-router)).

## Pixhawk Autopilot Bus Carrier Boards with Companion Computers
|
|
|
|
The following carrier boards make it easy to integrate Pixhawk flight controllers with a companion computer, significantly easing both hardware and software setup.
|
|
The boards support the [Pixhawk Autopilot Bus (PAB)](../flight_controller/pixhawk_autopilot_bus.md) open standard so you can plug in any compliant controller:
|
|
|
|
- [ARK Jetson PAB Carrier](../companion_computer/ark_jetson_pab_carrier.md)
|
|
- [Holybro Pixhawk Jetson Baseboard](../companion_computer/holybro_pixhawk_jetson_baseboard.md)
|
|
- [Holybro Pixhawk RPi CM4 Baseboard](../companion_computer/holybro_pixhawk_rpi_cm4_baseboard.md)
|
|
|
|
## Managed Integrated Systems
|
|
|
|
The following integrated companion computer/flight controller systems use managed/custom versions of flight controller and companion computer software by default.
|
|
They are listed here as they can be updated with "vanilla" PX4 firmware for testing/rapid development.
|
|
|

|

|
|
## Companion Computer Options
|
|
|
|
PX4 can be used with computers that can be configured to communicate via MAVLink or microROS/uXRCE-DDS over over a serial port (or Ethernet port, if present).
|
|
A small subset of possible alternatives are listed below.
|
|

|
The choice of computer will depend on the usual tradeoffs: cost, weight, power consumption, ease of setup, and computational resources required.

## Companion Computer Software
|
|
|
|
The companion computer needs to run software that communicates with the flight controller, and which routes traffic to ground stations and the cloud.
|
|
|
|
#### Drone Apps
|
|
|
|
Drone APIs and SDKs allow you to write software that can control PX4.
|
|
많이 사용되는 제품들은 다음과 같습니다.
|
|
|
|
- [MAVSDK](https://mavsdk.mavlink.io/main/en/index.html) - libraries in various programming languages to interface with MAVLink systems such as drones, cameras or ground systems.
|
|
- [ROS 2](../ros2/index.md) to communicate to ROS 2 nodes (may also be used).
|
|
- [ROS 1 and MAVROS](../ros/mavros_installation.md)
|
|
|
|
MAVSDK is generally easier to learn and use, while ROS provides more pre-written software for advanced cases like computer vision.
|
|
[Drone APIs and SDKs > What API Should I Use?](../robotics/index.md#what-api-should-i-use) explains the different options in detail.
|
|
|
|
You can also write your own custom MAVLink libraries from scratch:
|
|
|
|
- [C/C++ example code](https://github.com/mavlink/c_uart_interface_example) shows how to connect custom code
|
|
- MAVLink also can also be used with [many other programming languages](https://mavlink.io/en/#mavlink-project-generatorslanguages)
|
|
|
|
#### Routers
|
|
|
|
You will need a router if you need to bridge MAVLink from the vehicle to a ground station or IP network, or if you need multiple connections:
|
|
|
|
- [MAVLink Router](https://github.com/mavlink-router/mavlink-router) (recommended)
|
|
- [MAVProxy](https://ardupilot.org/mavproxy/)
|
|
|
|
## Ethernet Setup
|
|
|
|
Ethernet is the recommended connection, if supported by your flight controller.
|
|
See [Ethernet Setup](../advanced_config/ethernet_setup.md) for instructions.
|
|
|
|
## Flight Controller Specific Setup
|
|
|
|
The following topics explain how to set up companion computers for specific flight controllers, in particular when you are not using an Ethernet connection.
