"Hi Craig,
Our engineering team's current plan is to host our own branch with the modifications, at least for the time being."

"Hi Chris,
I know this is an old thread, but I thought I'd follow up anyway. Gumstix has just announced the AeroCore 2 expansion board (for both DuoVero and Overo) and we have successfully tested ArduPilot, Mission Planner, and APM Planner 2.0 on it.…"

"Hi Stefan,
We are working on getting the AeroCore schematics published. They should be available soon!"

"Hi Hyon,
Thanks! The AeroCore runs NuttX RTOS just like the PX4, but it requires some board-specific patches. Currently, the firmware is pre-flashed onto the board, but we are working on getting the patches published. The bootloader for the…"

"Hi Curt,
There is currently a pull request open against the PX4 repo. You can see the bootloader code at https://github.com/gumstix/m4-bootloader.git and the DuoVero software at https://github.com/smithandrewc/meta-stanfordARL. Currently the boards…"

"Hi again @Curt Olson,
After speaking with Andrew Smith, I have some more information about RC receivers for you. In fact, Andrew didn't connect it to UART2 like I had said (it's hard to see, but this is actually connected to the telemetry radio).…"

"Hi @Curt Olson,
Great to hear from you! As mentioned above, the GPS is a u-blox NEO-7M chip. I have posted a complete block diagram for the AeroCore showing all the connections. The GPS is connected on UART1 and the recommended baud rate is 38400…"

"Hi @Cronselaar,
The label in the picture does show a NEO5, but the final version Gumstix selling has a NEO7-M onboard. Thanks!"

"@Ian: Thanks for your comment, I did some double checking. The AeroCore can use PX4 software with board-specific patches which we will be submitting to PX4's repository. Our production boards have been tested and fly with QGroundControl (for a…"
"@James Cotton and Gary McCray:
Thank you both for your comments. The magnetometer is on the same chip as the accelerometer, hence why they are grouped together. @James, very interesting project. We hope the AeroCore makes combinations like yours…"

"Hi @John Moore:
Thanks for your question! The AeroCore has all the sensors and motor drivers, along with the processor dedicated to stand-alone flight control. The DuoVero provides an optional supervisor-level Linux system."

"Hi Chris,
I work at Gumstix and the AeroCore is so new that it won't even be officially announced until tomorrow morning!
The AeroCore is a DuoVero expansion board that can also be used standalone; the onboard microcontroller is the same as the one…"
