Hi.
How can I update to ArduRover 4.5.6 with Navio2?
After following the “Getting started guide” of Navio2 the system uses Ardupilot 4.0. I need a newer version since I’m missing EKF3 features in 4.0.
I successfuly compiled ArduRover 4.5.6 but “emlidtool ardupilot” seems not to work (=can’t start ArduPilot) anymore after copying the new executable to /opt/ardupilot/navio2/ardurover-4.0/bin/
Hello,
I managed to have it running on my test bed.(running arducopter)
Can you confirm Rover 4.0 was running before you try to upgrade?
On my setup, I did the upgrade from the ardurover archive
https://firmware.ardupilot.org/Rover/stable/navio2/
pi@navio:$ cd /opt/ardupilot/navio2/ardurover-4.0/bin
pi@navio:/opt/ardupilot/navio2/ardurover-4.0/bin $ ls -l

#rename ardurover before upgrade
pi@navio:/opt/ardupilot/navio2/ardurover-4.0/bin $ sudo mv ardurover arduroverold

and problem, arducopter was always running at start.
So back to the wiki:
https://docs.emlid.com/navio2/ardupilot/installation-and-running/
to stop arducopter, disable arducopter autostart and check ardurover was enabled.
Now ardurover 4.5.6 is running.
Can you please share your feedback.
On my side, no way to have the GPS information, still No GPS message.
When testing with u-Center, GPS is fine but it seems SPI bridge is broken with Navio ardurover 4.5.6 or arducopter. Other SPI sensors are fine.
Hi Marc.
Thanks for replying! I already tried this, but now I tried it again with a fresh installation. And it worked 
THX!
