Request a custom firmware - v2.11.x

[pfeerick]

Ask here if you want/need specific options that are not included in the stock builds, and it is not possible to build via the CloudBuild tab on EdgeTX Buddy. Builds will be uploaded to here (same link as 'By request' below), so check it out or the requests below to see if there is already likely to be a build there with your chosen options...

Language builds are now provide via the CloudBuild tab on Buddy, so are no longer build via the lang-firmwares repo.

Please remember to specify your transmitter when requesting a build ;)

Hello,
I havent seen this feature listed anywhere, or perhaps I missed it.
I would like to be able to assign a physical button to toggle On/Off BLE Joystick feature in the ExpressLRS LUA script.
I use my RM pocked quite often for simulator usage in Liftoff and have a spare button available, so this would be easier than digging into the LUA every time. Thank you!

[pfeerick]

This is more something to ask on the ELRS Discord if it is even possible. I think it might be, but will require a Lua script to interface with the ELRS module, which can then be triggered via special function.

I'm looking for a v2.11 build with YAML_STORAGE=ON for my Xlite Pro (firmware xlites) so that I can have more than 60 models. The radio also has blutooth.

[gfalgiano]

Thanks @pfeerick it worked!

[pfeerick]

Sweet! Please let me know how you go after using that for a week or so, as if there is no major side effects, it might be worth lifting the default value. Glad you got it up and running :)

[gfalgiano]

So far so good, but the companion software honors the limit and only shows my first 60 models. Though I'm able to create new models on the radio and restore models from backup into the new slots.

Anything I should check in terms of memory, etc?

[pfeerick]

I would think the limit was most likely related to EEPROM size, which is no longer an issue. Otherwise, increased memory usage while at the model select screen... perhaps ... other than that, if it behaves it self, that should be it.

[pfeerick]

If they are successful in building, you'll be able to get companion build that should work with 120 models for your OS of preference from #6208

Gents, would it be possible to get a build for Jumper T15 that contains the 6 front LEDs showing charging progress? Was available in 2.10 but have heard was removed. Thank you

Hello,
I am experiencing an issue with custom Ukrainian (UA) builds for the RadioMaster TX12 MK2.
The problem: When I generate a firmware .bin via CloudBuild with the language set to Ukrainian (UA), the radio fails to boot after flashing (black screen/no response). However, the official English build (v2.11.4) works perfectly.

What I've tried:
EdgeTX v2.11.x (UA): Does not boot.
EdgeTX v2.10.x (UA): Does not boot.
Official EN build: Works fine.

I would really appreciate it if someone could provide a verified, working Ukrainian .bin file for v2.11.4 or help fix the CloudBuild profile for the TX12MK2. Having the interface in my native language is very important to me and many other pilots in our community.
Thank you for your hard work and support!

Thank you for the clarification and the detailed explanation.

Yes, I am sure that I was flashing the TX12 MK2 firmware, not the TX12. However, the difference is that I was installing the firmware via Companion, so the issue may be related to that.

After the firmware finished flashing, I performed a safe USB removal on the PC, then disconnected the USB cable. After that, I pressed Exit from boot mode — and the screen went black. From that point, the radio no longer responded to the power button or attempts to enter boot mode. I had to remove and reinsert the battery, after which I was able to enter the bootloader again.
By the way when I enter the bootloader, I can see that the bootloader version is 2.8.0, while the installed EdgeTX firmware is 2.11.4. I’m not sure if this is the kind of incompatibility you were referring to, but this was the situation on my radio. I hope this describes my issue more clearly.

I will try flashing again using the DFU / “Flash via USB” method you suggested.

Thanks again for your help, I really appreciate it.

[pfeerick]

bootloader version is 2.8.0, while the installed EdgeTX firmware is 2.11.4.

Most definitely... using the older bootloader with newer firmware is almost guaranteed to cause problems, especially due to some changes made around 2.9-2.10.

Companion should work (caveat below), as that should be updating both the firmware and bootloader, so if you are doing a update through Companion, but are seeing a different firmware and bootloader version still, it actually isn't updating... expand the details view on the flash progress, and see if it says there is an error... as DFU flashing will take several seconds... it isn't "instant".

caveat: I just realised you might be using a unsupported / NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL!! mode of firmware updating with Companion, which as actually been removed from later versions Companion. You should not be putting the radio into bootloader mode, and then connecting to the PC - as the "in place" firmware update is known to have issues anyway, hence why it was removed. You should instead be connecting the radio with it OFF, plugging it in (which will put it automatically into DFU mode) and then doing the firmware update via Companion then.

If you get it flashed properly with DFU (i.e. bootloader and firmware versions will be the same, as both parts are always flashed via DFU), and it still doesn't boot, you might be facing an issue where the MCU "Option Bits" need resetting - see the section on Option Bits here if that eventuates =>

[NickDen-exe]

That’s exactly what I was doing: I would turn the radio on, entering bootloader mode, plug in the USB, and then select 'Write Firmware' in Companion. It’s strange that it worked fine with the English version of the firmware, even though my bootloader is still on version 2.8.0. EdgeTX is 2.11.4 and its working somehow. Thanks for the advice, I’ll try your method (flashing via DFU with the radio off) and will let you know how it goes.

okay so i tried via companion. Radio off, plug usb, open companion, flash firmaware and then open deteils and got this D:/Programs/EdgeTXComp/Companion 2.11/dfu-util.exe -a 0 --dfuse-address 0x08000000:524288 --device 0483:df11 -UC:/Users/admin/AppData/Local/Temp/22132-flash-check.bin ================================================================================= dfu-util 0.11 Copyright 2005-2009 Weston Schmidt, Harald Welte and OpenMoko Inc.

OMG, the problem was my Windows drivers! I downloaded the STM32 driver, and now everything works perfectly. Thank you so much for your help in figuring out the issue. I’m really happy!
