Inav: New Target Request - Matek F722

[saliimam]

newest Matek f7 board - has a baro onboard, with i2c available plus 4 uarts.

I have one to test. If I have time in the next few weekends I'd try to help, but figure get this request in.

Myself and @Mateksys are already on it.

Thanks @digitalentity - should I close this? Or attach to the PR? If you need testers, let me know - should be installing this weekend.

No, don't close it please - we need to track the requiest anyhow. I should be able to provide a hex for you in a few days.

I am looking forward to this. I tried using betaflight but even with mateks firmware it has 3 i2c errors. I tried using betaflights firmware and i lose accel, baro and gps. I cannot get this board setup in my wing. I jumped the gun and purchased too soon. Im ready to test as soon as a hex is available. Please let me know what I can do. Im using openlrsng non inverted sbus on my f3 with inav. Just no baro. I just had some barometers delivered so going to add it. I will fly that 3d printed wing until the hex is ready. Thank you for building the hex.

I have a Matek F722 running on a new Quad Copter frame. In BetaFlight version 3.2.4 all configured items appear to be running correctly including the magnetometer although I do get 3 I2C errors on boot. This includes SmartPort Telemetry, Wireless BT on Serial 1, M8N GPS and Magnetometer, LED Strip,etc. When I load Matek's iNav 1.8.1 (1/24/2018) I note the following:

• Flashing via DFU works normally with only the USB connected but upon the reboot I have to connect the battery before it will boot. I checked the 5v going to the receiver and it read 1.4v. On BF it reads 4.8v. It appears something is drawing a lot of correct such that the USB cannot provide sufficient amperage to power the F722. The USB Port is capable of supplying 2.1A.
• When turning on the LED_STRIP either via the GUI or via CLI feature LED_STRIP and performing a reboot, I am not able to connect to the F722 either via USB or Serial Port 1. The reboot appears normal but after a few seconds the activity LED stops flashing, no OSD output to FPV although the camera video is present (Camera is connected to F722). On BF LED_STRIP is assigned to resource A15. On iNav A15 is free but the LED_STRIP does not appear on the resource list.
