Holybro Durandal

Durandal® is the latest update to the successful family of Holybro flight controllers. It was designed and developed by Holybro.

Durandal

At high level, some of the key features are:

  • Integrated temperature control for sensors.
  • Powerful STM32H7 microcontroller running at 480MHz. 2 MB of Flash memory and 1 MB of RAM.
  • New sensors with higher temperature stability.
  • Internal vibration isolation system.
  • Dual high-performance, low-noise IMUs on board are designed for demanding stabilization applications.

A summary of the key features, assembly, and purchase links can be found below.

Assembly/Setup

The Durandal Wiring Quick Start provides instructions on how to assemble required/important peripherals including GPS, Power Management Board etc.

Building Firmware

Tip Most users will not need to build this firmware! It is pre-built and automatically installed by QGroundControl when appropriate hardware is connected.

To build PX4 for this target:

make holybro_durandal-v1_default

Debug Port

The PX4 FMU serial console and SWD interface run on the Debug port.

The port has a standard serial pinout and can be connected to a standard FTDI cable (3.3V, but it's 5V tolerant) or a Dronecode probe. The pinout uses the standard Dronecode debug connector pinout. Please refer to the wiring page for details of how to wire up this port.

Note No Debug port is exposed for the I/O board.

Peripherals

Supported Platforms / Airframes

Any multicopter / airplane / rover or boat that can be controlled with normal RC servos or Futaba S-Bus servos.

The complete set of supported configurations can be seen in the Airframes Reference.
