      When attempting to update the Flight Core v2 firmware with QGC 4.2.x (perhaps other versions as well) on Ubuntu or OSX, the upgrade always fails with a warning like:

      As a work around, you can upgrade over the same USB port using a simple python script from the PX4 Tools that are maintained by the PX4 community. Please see info here:

        @modaltb Which is the default port flightcore V2 connects to? In may case I'm using Ubuntu 20 distro.

          @Jetson-Nano Each host pc will be different depending on what peripherals you have plugged in. Run sudo dmesg -wH and plug in your flight core, you should see which port it enumerates on in the dmesg output
