Betaflight Issue ID below:
Id: "a766b532-a53b-425f-b4d2-1083e064e594"

Board: BetaFPV 1-2s F4 12A V2.2 ELRS (not the Pro Version)

Betaflight Version: https://support.betafpv.com/hc/en-us/articles/7060955407769-CLI-for-Meteor85-2022
BF4SX1280 4.4.0_M85_A_ELRS v2.2_ELRS 3.0_20231116.hex

Issue: When I flash the board and type status in the CLI, there is not SPI device and the gyro is locked.
MCU F411 Clock=108MHz (PLLP-HSE), Vref=3.28V, Core temp=33degC
Stack size: 2048, Stack address: 0x2001fff0
Configuration: CONFIGURED, size: 3604, max available: 16384
Devices detected: SPI:0, I2C:0
Gyros detected: gyro 1 locked

            OSD: MAX7456 (30 x 13)
            BUILD KEY: a232f175976f00e08a98f732af0935bd (4.4.0)
            System Uptime: 13 seconds, Current Time: 2024-10-25T21:59:25.572+00:00
            CPU:0%, cycle time: 0, GYRO rate: 0, RX rate: 0, System rate: 9
            Voltage: 3 * 0.01V (0S battery - NOT PRESENT)
            I2C Errors: 0
            Arming disable flags: NOGYRO BOOTGRACE CLI MSP

When I apply the text file giving in the betafpv link, Gyros detected change to the following:
Gyros detected: locked

It was working out of the box, but I needed to upgrade to ELRS 3.0 to match my transmitter. My guess is I am flashing the wrong target.

What could be causing this issue? Does anyone else have this exact board? What do you flash to it?

Can you take a clear picture of the FC?

#

Are you sure you don't have the FrSky version?

I can take a picture and send it tomorrow. I am positive I have the elrs version, thanks for responding!

Reflash Betaflight, select the BETAFPVF4SX1280 target, and do not make any changes

#

Might as well flash 4.5.1

What is the blue stuff all over the FC?

#

blue tak. it helps hold down the board when soldering to it.

#

It yields the same results, as the video above, where the gyro is not found

Do you have a diff backup from before you updated Betaflight?
