Pixfalcon Hardware

Pixfalcon is binary-compatible derivative of the Pixhawk design optimized for space-constrained applications such as FPV racers, designed by Holybro. It has less IO to allow for the reduction in size. For drones requiring high processing performance or a camera interface the Snapdragon Flight might be a more optimal fit.
