105-107: DSHOT bitbang ON is a reasonable trade‑off if avoiding DMA conflicts.If timers/DMA check out clean, consider enabling DMAR for DSHOT for efficiency; otherwise keep bitbang.
24-115: Two targets are nearly identical — consider a shared base to reduce drift.If hardware is truly identical except IDs, factor common macros into a small include to avoid future divergence. Optional.

Learning: In Betaflight configurations, when a target name suggests dual IMUs (like JHEF7DUAL) but specific hardware variants only have one gyro available, the preferred solution is to use DEFAULT_GYRO_TO_USE macro to specify which gyro to use by default rather than pruning gyro defines or creating redundant configurations. This approach maintains compatibility when the same target is used by multiple hardware variants from the same manufacturer.

Learning: In Betaflight board configurations, when a board design uses the same physical gyro socket but different sensor variants across production batches (e.g., MPU6000 in older batches, ICM42688P in newer batches), the correct approach is to enable both sensor drivers (USE_GYRO_SPI_MPU6000 and USE_GYRO_SPI_ICM42688P) in the same configuration. This allows runtime auto-detection of which sensor is actually present without requiring separate board configurations for each hardware variant.

Learning: In Betaflight flight controller configurations, it's common and intentional for UART2_RX_PIN and RX_PPM_PIN to share the same GPIO pin (like PA3) because they represent mutually exclusive receiver input protocols. The pin can be configured for either serial receiver input (UART2) or PPM input, but not both simultaneously. This is a standard design pattern in flight controller hardware.

Learning: In Betaflight board configurations, when DEFAULT_GYRO_TO_USE is set to GYRO_CONFIG_USE_GYRO_BOTH, the firmware automatically establishes GYRO_COUNT during initialization for backwards compatibility. Therefore, explicit GYRO_COUNT definitions are not needed in board config files when using DEFAULT_GYRO_TO_USE.

Changes to TIMER_PIN_MAPPING should include verification that all required peripherals (motors, LED strip, blackbox SPI) can coexist without DMA conflicts.

🔇 Additional comments (16)
configs/SUB250_REDFOX_G473AIO/config.h (8)
24-28: Target/IDs look consistent.FC_TARGET_MCU/BOARD_NAME/MANUFACTURER_ID are coherent for an STM32G47x target.
29-42: Good feature set and sensor coverage.Enabling both ICM42688P ACC/GYRO and multiple baro drivers supports production variability without extra targets.
If MAG may be populated on variants, leaving MAG_I2C_INSTANCE predeclared without USE_MAG is fine; confirm build flags align with intended SKUs. Based on learnings.
99-99: ADC1_DMA_OPT=6 — validate against dma_stm32g4xx.c.Ensure option 6 matches the ADC1 DMA request/channel used by PB0/PB1 sampling.
112-115: SPI bus split is sensible; gyro align CW270 noted.Separate SPI for MAX7456/FLASH/GYRO is good for throughput; gyro align looks intentional.
51-57: Review comment is incorrect — USART2 on PB3/PB4 is supported on STM32G4.The official Betaflight file
src/platform/STM32/serial_uart_stm32g4xx.cexplicitly lists PB3 (TX) and PB4 (RX) as valid pins for USART2 with GPIO_AF7_USART2. The config file's pin assignments are correct per Betaflight's platform-specific serial driver.Likely an incorrect or invalid review comment.
59-61: Configuration is correct—PA9/PA8 are the proper I2C2 pins for STM32G473.For STM32G473, PA9 = I2C2_SCL and PA8 = I2C2_SDA. The review's concern that these pins "often map to I2C1.SCL/SDA on STM32" does not apply to this device. No pin conflicts or reassignments are present in the config. BARO/MAG functionality will work correctly with this mapping.
Likely an incorrect or invalid review comment.
43-50: The review comment is based on incorrect assumptions about timer mappings for the STM32G473.The core issue: The review assumes PA0–PA3 map to TIM2 channels with PB2 conflicting on TIM2_CH4. However:
Explicit timer configuration: The
TIMER_PIN_MAPPINGclearly assigns all pins (LED_STRIP on PB2 and MOTORs 1–4 on PA0–PA3) to Timer 1, not Timer 2, with non-overlapping channels (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 respectively).G473 pin mappings differ: PA0–PA3 map to TIM2_CH1–4 natively on the G4 family, but PB2 is not typically a TIM2 channel pin—it commonly carries RTC_OUT2 or LPTIM1_OUT. The config's explicit TIMER_PIN_MAPPING overrides default mappings.
No SPI3/Blackbox conflict: The configuration uses
DEFAULT_BLACKBOX_DEVICE BLACKBOX_DEVICE_FLASH(flash storage), not SPI3, so no DMA contention with SPI3 exists.The configuration is correct for this G473 target, and the timer/DMA assignments do not conflict as claimed.
Likely an incorrect or invalid review comment.
66-77: ****This repository contains only board configuration files; it does not include driver implementations. The referenced file "bus_spi_stm32g4xx.c" does not exist in this codebase and is outside the scope of this repository.
PB5 for SPI3_SDO (MOSI) is documented as a valid alternate function pin for STM32G4 devices per the datasheet. Additionally, the identical configuration (SPI3_SCK=PC10, SPI3_SDI=PC11, SPI3_SDO=PB5) is already present in the codebase for GEPRC_TAKER_G473AIO, another G4-based board in this same repository. The pin assignment is correct.
Likely an incorrect or invalid review comment.

24-28: Target/IDs look consistent.Correct STM32G47x target with GEPR manufacturer ID.
29-42: Robust sensor/feature set.Dual ICM enable + multiple baro drivers is good for production variance.
99-99: Confirm ADC1_DMA_OPT value.Validate option 6 vs dma mapping used.
112-115: SPI bus assignments and gyro alignment look fine.No issues spotted.
43-50: LED_STRIP_PIN PB2 has no hardware timer channel on STM32G473; configuration cannot support WS2812 requirement.The motors (PA0–PA3) correctly map to unique TIM2 channels (CH1–CH4) with no overlap. However, PB2 typically has no TIMx_CHx function on many STM32G4 pinouts, yet the config attempts to use it with a hardware timer via
TIMER_PIN_MAP( 0, LED_STRIP_PIN, 1, 1 ). Betaflight's LED_STRIP (WS2812/WS2811) requires hardware-timed output (timer + DMA) for the 800 kHz/precise timings, which PB2 cannot provide on this MCU.Change
LED_STRIP_PINto a pin with an actual hardware timer channel (e.g., PA8, PA9, PA10, PA15, PB0, PB1, PB3, etc. — consult the STM32G473 datasheet for timer-capable pins).⛔ Skipped due to learnings

51-57: Configuration is correct; no changes needed.PB3 can be used as USART2_TX and PB4 as USART2_RX on STM32G473 with alternate function AF7. This pin mapping is valid for the target MCU and is widely used across Betaflight's G4-based board configurations (TAKERG4AIO, MAMBAG4, KAKUTEG4AIO, SUB250_REDFOX_G473AIO, and others), including other STM32G473 boards. The configuration requires proper alternate function configuration by the driver, which Betaflight handles.

66-77: Review comment references non-existent file in this repository.This is a configuration-only repository containing board configs in the
configs/directory. The filebus_spi_stm32g4xx.cdoes not exist here—driver implementations reside in the separate firmware repository. The SPI3 configuration with PB5 (SPI3_SDO_PIN=PB5, SPI3_SCK_PIN=PC10, SPI3_SDI_PIN=PC11, FLASH_SPI_INSTANCE=SPI3) is consistent with other boards using STM32G4 MCUs (e.g., SUB250_REDFOX_G473AIO) and multiple F4/F7-based boards.Likely an incorrect or invalid review comment.
59-61: I2C2 pins correctly paired with I2CDEV_2 — no mismatch detected.The configuration in
configs/GEPRC_TAKER_G473AIO/config.his correct:
- PA9/PA8 are the physical I2C2 pins on STM32G47X
- I2CDEV_2 is the logical device instance for I2C2
- This pairing is consistent across multiple G473 boards (e.g., SUB250_REDFOX_G473AIO has identical config)
- No evidence of I2CDEV_2 mapping to I2C1 pins

Learning: For STM32H743 in Betaflight, UART4 can use PB8 (UART4_RX) and PB9 (UART4_TX) with GPIO_AF8_UART4, as confirmed in the official Betaflight codebase at src/platform/STM32/serial_uart_stm32h7xx.c. This is a valid pin mapping despite what some generic STM32 documentation might suggest.

Learning: Always verify that the BOARD_NAME define in each config.h matches the directory name it resides in (e.g., configs/AXISFLYINGF7AIO/config.h must have #define BOARD_NAME AXISFLYINGF7AIO). This check is required for all Betaflight board configuration reviews.

Learning: For Betaflight board configurations of boards already in production, pin assignments in config.h files reflect the actual hardware design and cannot be changed, even if they present potential conflicts with debug interfaces. The configuration must match the physical board layout, not ideal software design preferences.

Learning: In Betaflight configurations, when a target name suggests dual IMUs (like JHEF7DUAL) but specific hardware variants only have one gyro available, the preferred solution is to use DEFAULT_GYRO_TO_USE macro to specify which gyro to use by default rather than pruning gyro defines or creating redundant configurations. This approach maintains compatibility when the same target is used by multiple hardware variants from the same manufacturer.

Learning: Always verify that the `BOARD_NAME` define in config.h files exactly matches the directory name where the config file is located. For example, if the config file is in configs/AXISFLYINGF7AIO/config.h, then the BOARD_NAME should be defined as "AXISFLYINGF7AIO". This ensures proper board identification and configuration loading in Betaflight.

Learning: In Betaflight board configurations, when a board design uses the same physical gyro socket but different sensor variants across production batches (e.g., MPU6000 in older batches, ICM42688P in newer batches), the correct approach is to enable both sensor drivers (USE_GYRO_SPI_MPU6000 and USE_GYRO_SPI_ICM42688P) in the same configuration. This allows runtime auto-detection of which sensor is actually present without requiring separate board configurations for each hardware variant.

Changes to TIMER_PIN_MAPPING should include verification that all required peripherals (motors, LED strip, blackbox SPI) can coexist without DMA conflicts.

27-27: MANUFACTURER_ID has been corrected.The blocking issue has been resolved. The
MANUFACTURER_IDis now correctly set toSU25(4 characters), matching the entry inManufacturers.md.
42-86: Pin assignments verified - no conflicts detected.All pin definitions have been checked for conflicts. Each physical pin is assigned to only one function, and the assignments are appropriate for the STM32G473 MCU.
88-94: Timer pin mapping is correctly configured.The
TIMER_PIN_MAPPINGproperly assigns:
- LED_STRIP_PIN to timer channel
- MOTOR1-4 pins to timer channels
- GYRO_1_CLKIN_PIN to timer channel with DMA set to -1 (no DMA required for clock input)
This follows the established pattern for STM32G4 configurations.
Based on learnings
96-101: Verify serial port availability for STM32G473 against Betaflight firmware source.The configuration specifies SERIAL_PORT_USART1 and SERIAL_PORT_USART2 for the STM32G473. This cannot be verified from the config repository alone. Confirm these UART assignments match the pin definitions in the Betaflight firmware's

29-111: Configuration looks correct and consistent.This configuration is nearly identical to SUB250_REDFOX_G473AIO (same pin assignments, features, and defaults), which is common when different manufacturers produce boards with the same PCB layout. All settings are appropriate for an STM32G473-based flight controller with:
- ICM42688P gyro/accelerometer
- W25Q128FV flash for blackbox
- MAX7456 OSD chip
- Multiple barometer support
- Standard 4-motor configuration
