Zeez F7 Flight Controller - No on-board/flash storage option

[bigjoncoop]

Zeez F7 Flight Controller (Non HD Version)
Firmware Version: EmuFlight_0.3.4_ZEEZF7.hex
Configurator Version: 0.3.4
Windows PC

In the Black Box tab there is no option for onboard flash storage. The only option is serial.

This flight controller has 128MB of on-board flash Storage.

If I flash Betaflight back on to it using the same Zeez F7 target, the on-board flash storage option is available in the Black Box tab. It also functions properly. (Black Box data is stored there and the onboard flash memory becomes available has a mass storage device)

When I get home I will do a /diff and post the contents here. But everything should be stock since I've only made the normal changes in the configurator and haven't done anything in the CLI

This is known. Drivers for 0.3.X base are not up to date and it's been attempted multiple time without success.
Efforts will not be made for 0.X code-base as eventually the fix will come from the rebase from betaflight 4.x

Is there anything I can do in order to get the onboard flesh to work? Like rolling back to 0.3.3?

And this issue is board specific? Cuz I can swear I have other flight controllers with on-board flash that work

[nerdCopter]

this issue is flight-controller-specific. Zeez and some other FC that i've forgotten which. reverting will not work, same problem exists on older versions.

Awww, same issue I'm having with #633, but different fc.

@nerdCopter
Ok, Thanks for the info. I guess ill have to install a serial logger (open logger)

normally not having a black box isn't a issue but this is a new 10in build and definitely need some black box data.

i almost replied to get LPF's from a BF flash, but i recanted because i figured with rpm filtering, etc there would be no noise profile to review. (i.e. would have to turn off a bunch of features to get true-noise). i think soldered-logger is the way to go here. fwiw, we did repeatedly try to update drivers, but it was a mess. final solution is wait for Emu 1.0.0 :(
