Note These instructions have not been tested with recent builds of PX4. We hope to provide fully tested instructions with the supported toolchain in the near future.
The build requires Python 2.7.5. Therefore as of this writing Centos 7 should be used. (For earlier Centos releases a side-by-side install of python v2.7.5 may be done. But it is not recommended because it can break yum.)
The EPEL repositories are required for openocd libftdi-devel libftdi-python
