Description

If your board is running the Cleanflight software and you want to install Betaflight, follow this tutorial.

Dump Cleanflight configuration

  • First of all, in Cleanflight, go to CLI and enter dump
  • Copy the entire output (starting from the #dump line) and save it to a text file (e.g. cleanflight.txt)

Flash your Flight Controller with Betaflight

  • Now exit Cleanflight configurator and open Betaflight configurator
  • Go to Firmware Flasher from the menu and select the following options:

Note
Notice that you may need to select the option "Manual Baudrate" if it doesn't work
  • Click on Load Firmware (online)
  • Click on Flash firmware
Note
If it fails with the "STM32, timed out, programming: FAILED" error message, try again.

Import Cleanflight configuration

  • Now, in Betaflight, go to CLI and paste (right click and select paste as plain text) the content of the previously saved configuration (cleanflight.txt).
  • Press Enter
  • Enter save and hit Enter
  • Check that your main configuration has been successfully restored (e.g. in the Modes tab, check that your modes have been restored)

It's a good idea to dump the configuration from Betaflight, save it as betaflight.txt and compare it with cleanflight.txt to highlight differences.
