Overview

This document describes the software components included in the system, the way those components communicate, and how the applications interact to deliver video, MAVLink, and payload control. It emphasizes the Jetson companion computer as the central integration point, the MAVLink routing architecture, the RTSP video stream path through MediaMTX, and how QGroundControl and local applications consume video and telemetry.

The focus is on:

  • system-level software included in the release

  • internal communication channels and service interactions

  • payload camera / gimbal / detection / tracking data flow

  • video streaming, RTSP routing, and QGC connectivity

This documentation is intended for developers implementing or extending the system and operators validating its runtime behaviour.

Supported Systems

This release is compatible with the Jetpack 6.2 system profile and supports the following devices and payloads:

  • Devices: Stribog, Ellipsis

  • Supported payloads:

    • SIYI ZR10

    • NextVision DragonEye2

Device Compatibility

This software release targets Stribog and Ellipsis platforms primarily. However, because all Airvolute devices are based on the same DroneCore architecture, the release can also run on standard DCS2 and DCS1 hardware with some caveats.

Key compatibility considerations:

  • Camera support depends on the correct device driver and camera model being present.

  • The payload adapter must match the specific payload interface used by the device.

  • Gimbal control requires the supported gimbal hardware and in case of nextvision the nextvision library with license.

  • Udev rules need to be configured correctly for the specific hardware interfaces (you can look in AvPayloadManager configuration files what /dev devices are expected by the software).

System Requirements

  • Jetpack: 6.2.0 (jp620)

  • ArduPilot firmware: per build (see individual build sections)

  • Ground Control Station: QGroundControl 5.0.8 (see Ground Station Setup)
