+# ARK Electronics ARKV6S
+
+::: warning
+PX4 does not manufacture this (or any) autopilot.
+Contact the [manufacturer](https://arkelectron.com/contact-us/) for hardware support or compliance issues.
+:::
+
+The USA-built [ARKV6S](https://arkelectron.gitbook.io/ark-documentation/flight-controllers/arkv6s) flight controller is a low-cost, single-IMU variant of the [ARKV6X](../flight_controller/ark_v6x.md), based on the [FMUV6X and Pixhawk Autopilot Bus open source standards](https://github.com/pixhawk/Pixhawk-Standards).
+
+The Pixhawk Autopilot Bus (PAB) form factor enables the ARKV6S to be used on any [PAB-compatible carrier board](../flight_controller/pixhawk_autopilot_bus.md), such as the [ARK Pixhawk Autopilot Bus Carrier](../flight_controller/ark_pab.md).

+## Serial Port Mapping
+
+| UART   | Device     | Port          |
+| ------ | ---------- | ------------- |
+| USART1 | /dev/ttyS0 | GPS           |
+| USART2 | /dev/ttyS1 | TELEM3        |
+| USART3 | /dev/ttyS2 | Debug Console |
+| UART4  | /dev/ttyS3 | UART4 & I2C   |
+| UART5  | /dev/ttyS4 | TELEM2        |
+| USART6 | /dev/ttyS5 | PX4IO/RC      |
+| UART7  | /dev/ttyS6 | TELEM1        |
+| UART8  | /dev/ttyS7 | GPS2          |
+
+::: info
+The mapping above applies to the running PX4 firmware. The ARKV6S bootloader enables only `UART7` (TELEM1), so when flashing firmware over UART with [`px4_uploader.py`](https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot/blob/main/Tools/px4_uploader.py) you must connect to the **TELEM1** port — no other UART will respond in bootloader mode.
+:::
+
+## Building Firmware
+
+```sh
+make ark_fmu-v6s_default
+```
