Walkthrough

A new configuration header file for the RADIOLINKF405 flight controller board has been introduced. This file defines board-specific macros for the STM32F405 MCU, sets up sensor and peripheral options, assigns GPIO pins for various functions, and establishes default hardware and system settings.

54-54: UART3 missing TX pin definition.

UART3 is configured for ESC sensor communication but only has RX pin defined. For bi-directional ESC telemetry, a TX pin may be needed.

Consider adding the TX pin if bi-directional communication is required:

 #define UART3_RX_PIN PC11
+#define UART3_TX_PIN PC10

87-88: Fix inconsistent indentation in timer mapping.

Lines 87-88 use tabs instead of spaces, breaking consistency with the rest of the mapping.

Learning: In Betaflight configurations, when a target name suggests dual IMUs (like JHEF7DUAL) but specific hardware variants only have one gyro available, the preferred solution is to use DEFAULT_GYRO_TO_USE macro to specify which gyro to use by default rather than pruning gyro defines or creating redundant configurations. This approach maintains compatibility when the same target is used by multiple hardware variants from the same manufacturer.

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.

26-26: ✓ Board name matches directory structure.

The BOARD_NAME correctly matches the directory name "RADIOLINKF405", ensuring proper board identification.


29-38: ✓ Sensor configuration looks appropriate for STM32F405.

Good selection of sensors with proper SPI/I2C assignments:

  • ICM42688P gyro/accelerometer on SPI1
  • Dual barometer support (BMP280/DPS310) on I2C1
  • W25N01G flash storage on SPI3
  • MAX7456 OSD on SPI2

109-111: ✓ PINIO configuration for 9V BEC control is properly implemented.

The PINIO setup correctly defines:

  • Pin PC5 for hardware control
  • Box 40 for user interface
  • Config 129 for proper switching behavior
  • User-friendly "9V BEC" name

98-108: ✓ Default settings are appropriate for this target.

Good default configuration choices:

  • DSHOT bitbang disabled (appropriate for dedicated timer pins)
  • ADC-based current/voltage measurement
  • Voltage scale of 110 is reasonable
  • HSE clock properly set for 8MHz crystal
  • Flash blackbox logging properly configured

79-88: Review DMA Streams Allocation for LED Strip vs. Flash Blackbox on STM32F405

There’s a potential DMA‐stream conflict in configs/RADIOLINKF405/config.h when using the default FLASH blackbox alongside the on-board LED strip:

  • LED_STRIP_PIN = PB1 → mapped to TIM3 (via TIMER_PIN_MAP(6, PB1, 2, 0))
  • DEFAULT_BLACKBOX_DEVICE = BLACKBOX_DEVICE_FLASH → uses SPI3 + DMA
  • On STM32F405, SPI3 DMA streams overlap with TIM3’s DMA stream used for the LED driver

Please verify whether SPI3‐based flash logging and the PB1 LED strip can coexist without one feature disabling the other. If they conflict, consider one of the following:

  • Move the LED strip to a pin/timer/DMA stream not shared with SPI3
  • Change the default blackbox device to MEM (in-RAM) or disable flash logging by default
  • Remove or conditionalize the LED_STRIP_PIN define if no strip is fitted

Key locations in configs/RADIOLINKF405/config.h:

  • TIMER_PIN_MAPPING (PB1 entry)
  • #define LED_STRIP_PIN PB1
  • #define DEFAULT_BLACKBOX_DEVICE BLACKBOX_DEVICE_FLASH

Based on the configuration showing only one gyro (ICM42688P), consider adding GYRO_COUNT definition for clarity, though it may not be strictly required for single gyro setups.

Learning: In Betaflight configurations, when a target name suggests dual IMUs (like JHEF7DUAL) but specific hardware variants only have one gyro available, the preferred solution is to use DEFAULT_GYRO_TO_USE macro to specify which gyro to use by default rather than pruning gyro defines or creating redundant configurations. This approach maintains compatibility when the same target is used by multiple hardware variants from the same manufacturer.

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 FLYWOOF411 board does not actually use dual gyros despite having GYRO_2_SPI_INSTANCE defined in its configuration. It was incorrectly targeted for GYRO_COUNT and dual gyro support.

Learning: The DEFAULT_GYRO_ENABLED macro with both gyros enabled (GYRO_MASK(0) | GYRO_MASK(1)) should only be added to board configurations that have DEFAULT_GYRO_TO_USE set to GYRO_CONFIG_USE_GYRO_BOTH. Boards without this setting should only get the GYRO_COUNT definition to specify the number of available gyros.

Learning: In Betaflight configuration files, USE_OSD_HD and USE_MAX7456 are for different OSD systems: USE_MAX7456 enables the MAX7456 analog OSD chip, while USE_OSD_HD enables HD/digital OSD via MSP. MSP_DISPLAYPORT_UART should be guarded by USE_OSD_HD, not USE_MAX7456, as they serve different OSD implementations.

Learning: The JHEF405PRO board does not actually use dual gyros despite having GYRO_2_SPI_INSTANCE defined in its configuration. It should not receive GYRO_COUNT or other dual-gyro related definitions since only the first gyro is supported.

Learning: For STM32F4xx platforms, PB1 pin timer definitions are:
1 = DEF_TIM(TIM1, CH3N, PB1, 0, 0)
2 = DEF_TIM(TIM3, CH4, PB1, 0, 0) 
3 = DEF_TIM(TIM8, CH3N, PB1, 0, 0)
Timer instance 2 (TIM3, CH4) is the correct mapping for PB1 motor control on STM32F4xx platforms as defined in src/platform/STM32/timer_stm32f4xx.c

Learning: For Betaflight configurations, blackbox logging via SPI3 and LED_STRIP functionality can be mutually exclusive due to DMA stream conflicts on STM32F4 targets. This hardware limitation should be identified during timer configuration reviews.

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.

26-26: BOARD_NAME correctly matches directory structure.

The BOARD_NAME "RADIOLINKF405" correctly matches the directory path "configs/RADIOLINKF405/", ensuring proper board identification in Betaflight.


98-111: Configuration appears complete with appropriate default settings.

The default settings are well-configured including proper ADC sources, blackbox device, SPI instances, and PINIO setup for the "9V BEC" function.

@haslinghuis Have you received this hardware? Can you build and test the config when you have a chance?
