# PX4 Board Configuration (Kconfig)
|
|
|
|
The PX4 Autopilot firmware can be configured at build time to adapt it for specialized applications (fixed-wing, multicopter, rover or more), to enable new and experimental features (such as Cyphal) or to save flash & RAM usage by disabling some drivers and subsystems.
|
|
This configuration is handled through _Kconfig_, which is the same [configuration system used by NuttX](../hardware/porting_guide_nuttx.md#nuttx-menuconfig-setup).
|
|
|
|
The configuration options (often referred as "symbols" by the _kconfig_ language) are defined in `Kconfig` files under the **/src** directory.
|
|
|
|
## PX4 Kconfig Symbol Naming Convention
|
|
|
|
By convention, symbols for modules/drivers are named based on the module folder path.
|
|
For example, the symbol for the ADC driver at `src/drivers/adc/board_adc` must be named `DRIVERS_ADC_BOARD_ADC`.
|
|
|
|
To add symbols for driver/module specific options, the naming convention is the module name followed by the option name.
|
|
For example `UAVCAN_V1_GNSS_PUBLISHER` which is an option `GNSS_PUBLISHER` for the `UAVCAN_V1` module.
|
|
The options have to be guarded behind an `if` statement to ensure that the options are only visible when the module itself is enabled.
|
|
|
|
Full example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
menuconfig DRIVERS_UAVCAN_V1
|
|
bool "UAVCANv1"
|
|
default n
|
|
---help---
|
|
Enable support for UAVCANv1
|
|
|
|
if DRIVERS_UAVCAN_V1
|
|
config UAVCAN_V1_GNSS_PUBLISHER
|
|
bool "GNSS Publisher"
|
|
default n
|
|
endif #DRIVERS_UAVCAN_V1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
::: info
|
|
Builds will silently ignore any missing or miss-spelled modules in the `*.px4board` configuration file.

|
## PX4 Kconfig Label Inheritance
|
|
|
|
Each PX4 board must have a `default.px4board` configuration and can have an optional `bootloader.px4board configuration`.
|
|
However you can add also separate configurations under a different label e.g. `cyphal.px4board`.
|
|
Note that by default the configuration of `cyphal.px4board` inherits all settings set in `default.px4board`.
|
|
When changing the `cyphal.px4board` it only stores the delta of the Kconfig keys that are different compared to `default.px4board`, this is useful to simplify configurations management
|
|
|
|
::: info
|
|
When modifying a Kconfig key in `default.px4board` it will be modified in all derivative configurations of the same board that had the same config as well.
|
|

|
|
|
|
## PX4 Menuconfig Setup
|
|
|
|
The [menuconfig](https://pypi.org/project/kconfiglib/#menuconfig-interfaces) tool is used to modify the PX4 board configuration, adding/removing modules, drivers, and other features.
|
|
|
|
There are command line and GUI variants, both of which can be launched using the PX4 build shortcuts:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
make px4_fmu-v5_default boardconfig
|
|
make px4_fmu-v5_default boardguiconfig
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
::: info
|
|
_Kconfiglib_ and _menuconfig_ come with the _kconfiglib_ python package, which is installed by the normal [ubuntu.sh](https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot/blob/main/Tools/setup/ubuntu.sh) installation script.
|
|
If _kconfiglib_ is not installed, you can do so using the command: `pip3 install kconfiglib`
|
|

The command line and GUI interfaces are shown below.

## Fortified Toolchain Compatibility
|
|
|
|
Some toolchains define `_FORTIFY_SOURCE` by default. Those toolchains generally require some optimization, which means PX4 configurations that use `-O0` may fail.
|
|
|
|
PX4 keeps the default debug optimization unchanged unless you explicitly opt in. To switch `PX4_DEBUG_OPT_LEVEL` from `-O0` to `-Og`, enable:
|
|
|
|
- `Toolchain > Fortified toolchain support`
|
|
|
|
This is the Kconfig symbol:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
CONFIG_BOARD_SUPPORT_FORTIFIED_TOOLCHAIN=y
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can set it either in `boardconfig`/`boardguiconfig` or directly in your board's `*.px4board` file.
