These are named using the designation: FMUvX (e.g.: FMUv1, FMUv2, FMUv3, FMUv4, etc.).
Higher FMU numbers indicate that the board is more recent, but may not indicate increased capability (versions can be almost identical - differing only in connector wiring).

The designs listed below (with a high level overview of the main differences).
The versions are listed below (with a high level overview of the main differences).

Version | Year | Lead Product | CPU | Other
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
[FMUv1](FMUv1/README.md) & [IOv1](IOv1) | 2012 | None | 168 MHz M4 | (Discontinued) Original Flight Management Unit and Separate I/O board.
[FMUv2](FMUv2/README.md) | 2013 | Pixhawk 1 | 168 MHz M4 | Single board with STM32427VI processor.
[FMUv3](FMUv3_REV_D/README.md) | 2015 | Pixhawk 2 | 168 MHz M4 | Redundant sensors. Identical to FMUv2, but usable flash doubled to 2MB.
[FMUv4](FMUv4/README.md) | 2015 | Pixracer | 168 MHz M4 | Increased RAM. Faster CPU. More serial ports. No IO processor.
FMUv4X | 2017 | Pixhawk 3 Pro | 168 MHz M4 | Slightly increased RAM. More serial ports. IO processor. Redundant sensors.
[FMUv5](FMUv5/README.md) | 2018 | 200 MHz M7 | Pixhawk 4 | New processor (F7). Much faster. More RAM. More CAN busses. Much more configurable.<br>> **Note** Minimum specification provided (pinout info, but no schematics).
[FMUv5X](FMUv5/README.md) | 2019 | Pixhawk 5X | 200 MHz M7 | Temp-calibrated, redundant sensors.
