# mRo Pixhawk (FMUv3)

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

The *mRo Pixhawk®* is a hardware compatible version of the original [Pixhawk 1](/px4-user-guide/drone_parts/flight_controller/autopilot_discontinued/pixhawk.md). It runs PX4 on the [NuttX](https://nuttx.apache.org/) OS.

:::tip The controller can be used as a drop-in replacement for the 3DR® [Pixhawk 1](/px4-user-guide/drone_parts/flight_controller/autopilot_discontinued/pixhawk.md). The main difference is that it is based on the [Pixhawk-project](https://pixhawk.org/) **FMUv3** open hardware design, which corrects a bug that limited the original Pixhawk 1 to 1MB of flash. :::

Assembly/setup instructions for use with PX4 are provided here: [Pixhawk Wiring Quickstart](/px4-user-guide/assembly/quick_start_pixhawk.md)

:::tip This autopilot is [supported](/px4-user-guide/drone_parts/flight_controller/autopilot_pixhawk_standard.md) by the PX4 maintenance and test teams. :::

## 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](/px4-user-guide/development/getting_started/building_px4.md) for this target:

```
make px4_fmu-v3_default
```
