Walkthrough

A new configuration header file for the BROTHERHOBBYF722 flight controller board has been introduced. This file defines hardware-specific macros, pin assignments, sensor configurations, timer mappings, and conditional UART port settings, structuring the board's integration with firmware.

Changes

File(s) Change Summary
configs/BROTHERHOBBYF722/config.h Added new board configuration header: defines MCU, board name, manufacturer, pin assignments, sensors, timers, ADC, UARTs, and conditional macros.

Learning: In STM32F405-based flight controller configurations, timer pin mappings must be carefully analyzed for DMA stream conflicts, especially between motor timers, LED strip timers, and SPI DMA assignments. Changes to TIMER_PIN_MAPPING should include verification that all required peripherals (motors, LED strip, blackbox SPI) can coexist without DMA conflicts.

Learning: The presence of GYRO_2_SPI_INSTANCE definition in a board config does not necessarily mean the board uses dual gyros. Some boards have GYRO_2_SPI_INSTANCE defined but it's not actually used, so they should not receive GYRO_COUNT or other dual-gyro related definitions. Only boards that actually utilize dual gyros should get these definitions.

configs/BROTHERHOBBYF722/config.h (5)

24-59: LGTM! Standard board configuration with proper pin assignments.

The basic board configuration, pin definitions for peripherals, and SPI bus assignments are correctly structured for the STM32F7X2 platform.


157-166: LGTM! Proper conditional guards for UART assignments.

The conditional UART assignments correctly use:

  • USE_OSD_HD guard for MSP displayport (digital OSD)
  • USE_GPS guard for GPS UART
  • Separate from USE_MAX7456 (analog OSD) as these are different OSD systems

117-130: LGTM! ADC and PINIO configurations are properly structured.

The ADC pin assignments, default meter sources and scales, and PINIO configuration follow standard patterns for Betaflight boards.


60-74: Confirm dual gyro support and add missing GYRO_COUNT definition

Please verify against the board schematics or manufacturer documentation that the BROTHERHOBBYF722 actually populates both ICM42688P sensors. Once confirmed, add the following in configs/BROTHERHOBBYF722/config.h immediately after the DEFAULT_GYRO_TO_USE line:

 #define DEFAULT_GYRO_TO_USE                 GYRO_CONFIG_USE_GYRO_BOTH
+#define GYRO_COUNT                          2
 #define GYRO_1_EXTI_PIN                     PC4
  • File: configs/BROTHERHOBBYF722/config.h
  • Insert after line defining DEFAULT_GYRO_TO_USE

144-156: VERIFY: STM32F7 DMA Stream Assignments for SPI3, Timers, and ADC

The file configs/BROTHERHOBBYF722/config.h only defines timer-to-pin mappings and sets ADC1_DMA_OPT = 0, but does not document which DMA streams/channels each peripheral actually uses on STM32F7. On F7 devices, SPI3 (used for blackbox flash), TIM3_CH3 (SERVO3), TIM8_CH3 (LED_STRIP), motor timers (TIM1/TIM2/TIM5, etc.), and ADC1 can all vie for the same DMA resources. Please manually verify that none of these map to overlapping DMA streams or channels:

• SPI3 TX/RX DMA streams (e.g., DMA1_Stream7_Channel0, DMA1_Stream0_Channel0)
• TIM3_CH3 (SERVO3) DMA stream/channel
• TIM8_CH3 (LED_STRIP) DMA stream/channel
• DMA used by motor timers (TIM1/TIM2/TIM5… CHx)
• ADC1 DMA (per ADC1_DMA_OPT = 0 assignment)

Consult the RM0385 (STM32F7 reference manual) DMA stream/channel tables to ensure all assignments are unique or adjust timer remap/DMA settings accordingly.
