# Holybro pix32 (FMUv2)

:::warning PX4 does not manufacture this (or any) autopilot. Contact the [manufacturer](https://holybro.com/) for hardware support or compliance issues. :::

The Holybro® [pix32 autopilot](https://holybro.com/collections/autopilot-flight-controllers/products/pix32pixhawk-flight-controller) (also known as "Pixhawk 2", and formerly as HKPilot32) is based on the [Pixhawk®-project](https://pixhawk.org/) **FMUv2** open hardware design. This board is based on hardware version Pixhawk 2.4.6. It runs the PX4 flight stack on the [NuttX](https://nuttx.apache.org/) OS.

:::tip The Holybro pix32 is software compatible with the [3DR Pixhawk 1](pixhawk). It is not connector compatible, but is otherwise physically very similar to the 3DR Pixhawk or mRo Pixhawk. :::

:::note This flight controller is [manufacturer supported](../autopilot_manufacturer_supported). :::

## Building Firmware

:::tip Most users will not need to build this firmware! It is pre-built and automatically installed by _QGroundControl_ when appropriate hardware is connected. :::

To [build PX4](../../../development/getting_started/building_px4) for this target:

```
make px4_fmu-v2_default
```

## Debug Port

See [3DR Pixhawk 1 > Debug Ports](../pixhawk#debug-ports).

## Pinouts and Schematics

The board is based on the [Pixhawk project](https://pixhawk.org/) **FMUv2** open hardware design.
