**UNSUPPORTED, CURRENTLY IN DEVELOPMENT** -
Released versions (up to version 7) of iNav cannot use MAVLink due the limitations highlighted in the Betaflight tab.
As of version 8.0, which is currently not released yet, these limitations have been partially resolved and there is limited MAVLink support.
Released versions of INAV (from version 8 onwards) can use MAVLink for flight monitoring. However, given that INAV is primarily an MSP flight controller, full functionality and configuration via MAVLink should not be expected.

For testing of development version:
For the below steps, when a UART connection is mentioned, it will be written as `UARTx`. Replace `x` with the UART number you are using.

1. In the Ports tab, set the UARTx `Telemetry Protocol` to `MAVLink`, and the baud rate to `460800`. Make sure `RX Serial` is disabled.
1. In the Receiver tab, set the Receiver type to `SERIAL` and the `Serial Receiver Provider` to `MAVLink`. Leave inverted & half-duplex `disabled`.
1. In the CLI, enter ```set mavlink_radio_type=ELRS``` to get the correct RSSI and LQ values on INAV's OSD.
