Durandal® is the latest update to the successful family of Holybro flight controllers. It was designed and developed by Holybro.
At high level, some of the key features are:
- Integrated temperature control for sensors.
- Powerful STM32H7 microcontroller running at 480MHz. 2 MB of Flash memory and 1 MB of RAM.
- New sensors with higher temperature stability.
- Internal vibration isolation system.
- Dual high-performance, low-noise IMUs on board are designed for demanding stabilization applications.
A summary of the key features, assembly, and purchase links can be found below.

The locations of ports/connections are shown here (and below in the pinouts section).
All dimensions are in millimeters.
The Durandal Wiring Quick Start provides instructions on how to assemble required/important peripherals including GPS, Power Management Board etc.
:::tip Most users will not need to build this firmware! It is pre-built and automatically installed by QGroundControl when appropriate hardware is connected. :::

UART | Device | Port |
---|---|---|
USART1 | /dev/ttyS0 | GPS1 |
USART2 | /dev/ttyS1 | TELEM1 |
USART3 | /dev/ttyS2 | TELEM2 |
UART4 | /dev/ttyS3 | TELEM4/GPS2 |
USART6 | /dev/ttyS4 | TELEM3 |
UART7 | /dev/ttyS5 | Debug Console |
UART8 | /dev/ttyS6 | PX4IO |
The PX4 System Console and SWD interface run on the Debug Port.
The port has a standard serial pinout and can be connected to a standard FTDI cable (3.3V, but it's 5V tolerant) or a Dronecode probe. The pinout uses the standard Dronecode debug connector pinout. Please refer to the wiring page for details of how to wire up this port.
:::note No Debug port is exposed for the I/O board. :::
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.
Durandal pinouts are listed below. These can also be downloaded from here.
