# Holybro Pixhawk 4 (FMUv5) - Discontinued

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

*Pixhawk 4*® is an advanced autopilot designed and made in collaboration with Holybro® and the PX4 team. It is optimized to run PX4 v1.7 and later, and is suitable for academic and commercial developers.

It is based on the [Pixhawk-project](https://pixhawk.org/) **FMUv5** open hardware design and runs PX4 on the [NuttX](https://nuttx.apache.org/) OS.

## Connectors

![Pixhawk 4 connectors](/files/iHuIii73GyHt5M6kX8nc)

:::warning The **DSM/SBUS RC** and **PPM RC** ports are for RC receivers only. These are powered! NEVER connect any servos, power supplies or batteries (or to any connected receiver). :::

## Pinouts

Download *Pixhawk 4* pinouts from [here](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0604/5905/7341/files/Pixhawk4-Pinouts.pdf).

:::note Connector pin assignments are left to right (i.e. Pin 1 is the left-most pin). The exception is the [debug port(s)](#debug_port) (pin 1 is the right-most, as shown below). :::

## Serial Port Mapping

| UART   | Device     | Port                  |
| ------ | ---------- | --------------------- |
| UART1  | /dev/ttyS0 | GPS                   |
| USART2 | /dev/ttyS1 | TELEM1 (flow control) |
| USART3 | /dev/ttyS2 | TELEM2 (flow control) |
| UART4  | /dev/ttyS3 | TELEM4                |
| USART6 | /dev/ttyS4 | RC SBUS               |
| UART7  | /dev/ttyS5 | Debug Console         |

## Dimensions

## Voltage Ratings

*Pixhawk 4* can be triple-redundant on the power supply if three power sources are supplied. The three power rails are: **POWER1**, **POWER2** and **USB**.

:::note The output power rails **FMU PWM OUT** and **I/O PWM OUT** (0V to 36V) do not power the flight controller board (and are not powered by it). You must supply power to one of **POWER1**, **POWER2** or **USB** or the board will be unpowered. :::

**Normal Operation Maximum Ratings**

Under these conditions all power sources will be used in this order to power the system:

1. **POWER1** and **POWER2** inputs (4.9V to 5.5V)
2. **USB** input (4.75V to 5.25V)

**Absolute Maximum Ratings**

Under these conditions the system will not draw any power (will not be operational), but will remain intact.

1. **POWER1** and **POWER2** inputs (operational range 4.1V to 5.7V, 0V to 10V undamaged)
2. **USB** input (operational range 4.1V to 5.7V, 0V to 6V undamaged)
3. Servo input: VDD\_SERVO pin of **FMU PWM OUT** and **I/O PWM OUT** (0V to 42V undamaged)

## Assembly/Setup

The [Pixhawk 4 Wiring Quick Start](/px4-user-guide/assembly/quick_start_pixhawk4.md) provides instructions on how to assemble required/important peripherals including GPS, Power Management Board etc.

## 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-v5_default
```

## Debug Port

The [PX4 System Console](/px4-user-guide/development/debug/consoles/system_console.md) and [SWD interface](/px4-user-guide/development/debug/gdb_debugging/swd_debug.md) run on the **FMU Debug** port, while the I/O console and SWD interface can be accessed via **I/O Debug** port. In order to access these ports, the user must remove the *Pixhawk 4* casing.

![Pixhawk 4 Debug Ports](/files/coT82kSHBKyajym7j5ZD)

The pinout uses the standard [Pixhawk debug connector pinout](https://github.com/pixhawk/Pixhawk-Standards/blob/master/DS-009%20Pixhawk%20Connector%20Standard.pdf). For wiring information see:

* [System Console > Pixhawk Debug Port](/px4-user-guide/development/debug/consoles/system_console.md#pixhawk_debug_port)

## Peripherals

* [Digital Airspeed Sensor](https://store-drotek.com/793-digital-differential-airspeed-sensor-kit-.html)
* [Telemetry Radio Modules](/px4-user-guide/drone_parts/peripherals/telemetry.md)
* [Rangefinders/Distance sensors](/px4-user-guide/drone_parts/peripherals/rangefinders.md)

## Supported Platforms / Airframes

Any multicopter / airplane / rover or boat that can be controlled with normal RC servos or Futaba S-Bus servos. The complete set of supported configurations can be seen in the [Airframes Reference](/px4-user-guide/airframes/airframe_reference.md).
