  • During boot will MavPorter listen to MavLink data only in PRT1
    • Boot audrate is the same as configured by PRT1_BAUD
    • In case of firmware corruption will Boot use baudrate of 500 000 bps
  • You can change Boot baudrate by pressing of backside button hidden in the MavPorter body (accessigble with needle / wire)
