Can I convert a X10s radio running OpenTX to Ethos?

[Laury415]

I have a X10s radio that is currently running OpenTx. I had a main board issue so I replaced the main board with a newer X10s Express main board. I'm wondering if I can convert this radio to Ethos?

I have a X20s radio running Ethos and I prefer the operating system. I'm planning on giving this radio to my grandson and think the Ethos OS would be easier for him.

Yes the X10 series can run Ethos. Go to the web site to download the firmware. https://github.com/FrSkyRC/ETHOS-Feedback-Community/releases

Hi Henny,

Thanks for the reply. I went to the link you listed. There are a lot of files available. I downloaded the ones I thought might be appropriate:
X10express.zip
X10-ISRM.zip
Horus_SD.zip

The first 2 are bin files. Are there any step by step directions on how to do the conversion? I have the Ethos suite running on my computer, but it seems that program assumes you are already running Ethos. When I start my X10 up in bootloader, there doesn't appear to be correct communication with the Ethos suite which I assume is because my X10 is currently running Open Tx.

Thanks

I just noticed a V20 bootloader file. I downloaded the file. I still would like to know if there are step by step instructions?

This guy does a pretty good job to explain how to upgrade from Opentx to Ethos.
