MAVLink / UAV¶
Roles¶
| Process | Runs near | Southbound | Northbound |
|---|---|---|---|
fc |
Aircraft | Serial to flight controller (Fc.toml, e.g. /dev/ttySTM1 57600) |
Reticulum to GC destination |
gc |
Ground | Reticulum to FC destination | UDP to QGC/Mission Planner (default scan 192.168.10.0 port 14550, reply 9999) |
HTTP dashboards: FC 8680, GC 8681. Radio: -a 192.168.10.1:9090.
Authentication¶
The bridge adds an Ed25519 challenge over the Reticulum link (FC signs its destination hash and the GC nonce). Protect the local GCS network as part of the deployment security boundary.
Operational security¶
- Optional JSON MAVLink logs can contain sensitive telemetry; restrict filesystem access.
- Protect the local QGroundControl UDP network from unauthorised hosts.
