After reading about the benefits of ChibiOS, I flashed my daughter’s quad with a (then working) Radiolink Mini-PIX flight controller to the latest ChibiOS based Arducopter 3.6.3 firmware through the regular Mission Planner. (Previous to this I had only used the Radiolink branded Mission Planner.) After reading several threads on various forums, I realize this flight controller is not a “true” Pixhawk, but does seem to work most of the time, and it always worked well on the old Radiolink branded firmware.

It goes through the whole wizard fine in the regular version of Mission Planner with the new firmware, and everything seems to be OK except the quad won’t arm anymore. This is the error we’re getting now:

No IO Thread Heartbeat ()
PreArm: Logging failed
Frame: QUAD
mini-pix 00280026 3436510A 35393336
ChibiOS: ff603d11
ArduCopter V3.6.3 (63eb66fe)

It seems to be a logging problem - either it’s trying to put a log file somewhere that doesn’t exist or something like that. This flight controller has no SD card that I know of, though it may have a small flash area for storing a log? Does anyone know some steps I can try to fix this logging error to get it to arm again?
I also tried reverting it back to the old Radiolink branded firmware through their own mission planner version, but it looks like that won’t work now that we’ve gone from the Nuttx OS to ChibiOS.
Thank you for any help!
