X20/X20S and Ethos v1.2.10 User Manual

USB Connection To PC modes

Power Off mode

•

Connecting the X20 while powered off to a PC via a USB cable is the DFU mode for flashing 
the bootloader. 

Bootloader mode

•

The X20 is placed in bootloader mode by switching on the radio with the enter key held 
down. The status message ‘Bootloader’ will be displayed on the screen. 

•

The radio can then be connected to a PC via a USB data cable. The status message will 
change to ‘USB Plugged’, and the PC should display two external drives connected. The first 

is for the X20 flash memory, and the second is the content of the SD card.

•

This mode is used for reading and writing files to SD card and/or the X20 flash memory.

Power On mode

•

If the radio is connected to a PC via a USB data cable while powered on, the following option
dialog is displayed:

•

In joystick mode the radio can be configured for controlling RC simulators.

•

In Frsky Suite mode the radio will enter ‘Ethos Mode’ for communication with Ethos Suite. 
Please refer to 

Ethos Mode

 in the Ethos Suite section.

•

In Serial mode Lua debug traces are sent to USB-Serial if present. The baud rate is 
115200bps. A suitable Windows Virtual COM Port driver may be found 

here
