Software
Summary
| Component/Repo | Notes |
|---|---|
| elrs-build-docker | Docker container that can clone/build FW with ease |
| VOXL SDK | Used to deploy all required software/firmware components to VOXL / ELRS hardware |
| ExpressLRS_3.2.1 | Fork of Express LRS supporting ELRSv1 (goal is to mainline) that runs on ELRS v1 (M0184) |
| crsf_rc | PX4 driver running in voxl-px4 that communicates over CRSF to ELRS v1 hardware |
| voxl-elrs | VOXL2 command line utility, used to update FW/config on ELRS v1 from VOXL2, part of the SDK |
| FW bootloader | Closed source, shared with voxl2-io and VOXL ESC |
