# FMUv1 Pixhawk Open Hardware Design

> **Note** This design is end-of-life.
This is the first Pixhawk FMU design, and was intended to be used with various piggyback boards, including an [IO](IOv1) board (the boards were combined into one package for the FMUv2 design).

> **Warning** This design is end-of-life.

# FMUv5 Pixhawk Open Hardware Design

FMUv5 was released in 2018. When compared to previous versions it has a new processor, 2xRAM, new sensors with higher temperature stability, and is much more configurable.
More information can be found in the [Pixhawk4 Data Sheet](Pixhawk4-Data-Sheet.pdf).

FMUv5 was released in 2018. When compared to previous versions it has a new processor, double the RAM, new sensors with higher temperature stability, and is much more configurable.
More information can be found in the [Pixhawk4 Data Sheet](Pixhawk4-Data-Sheet.pdf).

## Design Files

The FMUv5 reference design pinout is available [on Google docs here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-n0__BYDedQrc_2NHqBenG1DNepAgnHpSGglke-QQwY/edit#gid=912976165) (linked from [FMUv5_stm32_pinout.md](FMUv5_stm32_pinout.md)).
This includes everything needed to create compatible hardware (pinouts, bus information).
