The important stuff:
This release adds support for the following new platforms:
- OpenHD custom hardware (X20) AIR
- Radxa Zero 3 W GND
- Radxa Rock 5 B GND
- Radxa Rock 5 A GND
- Radxa CM 3 GND
Most features you know and love from RPI are now also available on those platforms. Additonally,
those platforms are future-proof and faster than rpi.
Should I update my ground station ?
If you want to use the latest and greatest hardware like the X20 (Air) you have to update your
(RPI) Ground Station to one of the SBCs listed above.
Otherwise, we recommend updating only to future-proof your setup.
Compatibility
This version requires a re-flash of air / ground station and
update of QOpenHD app on external devices. We recommend upgrading to everyone who is interested in
the latest and greatest features.
