Hi all  
I am new to ArduSub  
Following the documentation I connected autopilot, companion and QGroundControl.  
But I cannot connect QGC to autopilot … seems that it’s not connected in the Firmware tab, although from the companion’s web app I can reboot the autopilot !

The one I am using is not in the list of [supported hardware](https://www.ardusub.com/introduction/features.html), though it’s a pixhawk clone (?)

I am using [HKPilot32](https://hobbyking.com/en_us/hkpilot32-autonomous-vehicle-32bit-control-set-w-power-module.html?___store=en_us) (details also [here](https://docs.px4.io/en/flight_controller/HKPilot32.html))  
Does anyone has used this ? Is it compatible ?

thanks in advance

The firmware tab in QGC will work only with the autopilot connected directly to the computer via usb. If you have the autopilot connected to the Raspberry Pi, then you need to use the web ui to flash it at [http://192.168.2.2:2770/system](http://192.168.2.2:2770/system).

Does this explain your problem?

Yes !  
going to [http://192.168.2.2:2770/system](http://192.168.2.2:2770/system) and pressing `Stable` button in the _Pixhawk Firmware Update_ area did the job (download and flash ArduSub).  
Thanks @jwalser you saved my day
