I have an Intel Aero RTF that I've been trying to get a px4flow working on. I read somewhere that the firmware for the intel aero autopilot should be able to support the px4flow, but I still cant get it to work. I'm using the telemetry port on the intel aero and connecting it to the i2c port of the PX4Flow. I was wondering if there's an alternate method of doing this. I've seen others mention that they used the px4flow in a similar connection but just can't get it working on my end.

The 1.8.0 firmware is unstable on the Aero. Get the 1.8.2 from https://github.com/PX4/Firmware
In Firmware/ROMFS/px4fmu_common/init.d/rcS add
if ver hwcmp AEROFC_V1
then
px4flow start &
fi
▪ In Firmware/cmake/configs/nuttx_aerofc-v1_default.cmake add
drivers/px4flow
Then follow only step 5-9 of the Instructables (just flash the newest FPGA cause the 0xc1 has inverted pins and won't work),
Make sure that pins are correctly connected to the TELEMETRY port
Also it is really important that you don't run systemctl start aero-optical-flow nor systemctl enable aero-optical-flow.
Send me a DM if you need further help cause interacting with @Alexandra_Intel or any other Intel agent will result in a colossal waste of time.

This is the output of aero-get-version.py
BIOS_VERSION = Aero-01.00.13
OS_VERSION = Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS"
AIRMAP_VERSION = unknown
FPGA_VERSION = 0xc2
AeroFC firmware version = 1.6.5
I've been trying to make firmware to enable the px4flow. A recent firmware I made used AeroFC firmware version 1.8.0 with modifications to allow PX4flow but to no avail.

How would I flash a new FPGA? I know there should be three on the intel aero by default, but not sure how to get/where to find newer versions. Thanks.

To flash the FPGA you just type
sudo jam -aprogram /etc/fpga/aero-rtf.jam
but you already have the newest version (0xc2)
Did you manage to flash the Flight Controller?
