OpenTX 2.1 released!

openTx has introduced a range of new features, ideas and bling. It is fast becoming the firmware of choice for many users. openTx will run on ALL current hardware platforms, including the gruvin9x and sky9x boards. Work has already started to support the new FrSky X9D radio!

2.1.9 is more than 4 years old, it's possible some of its dependencies have been deprecated and removed from some recent distros.

I understand that is quite old :( However, there are many people still converting and flying with FlySky TH9X / Turnigy 9X radios to open tx that use linux as their os. OpenTX 2.1.9 is the recommended version to use with 9X radios due to the avr radio bug: https://www.open-tx.org/2018/02/26/avr-pull. Can I compile OpenTX 2.1.9 for a current linux system to get it to work, or would there still be dependency issues? I have access to a windows os computer, but I would prefer to be able to program my 9X radios with Companion 2.1.9 on Linux.

Well in true linux fashion if a dependency isn't part of your distro you can always build it yourself.
It may be a major pain, but that comes with the linux world...

I spent several days trying to build dependencies for OpenTX 2.1.9 and gave up.

I ended up installing er9x on my Turnigy 9x Radio instead of OpenTX 2.1.9. I used eepe built for 64 bit ubuntu Linux by user rbecq usign the file is located in their post: https://openrcforums.com/forum/viewtopi ... 36#p152650

Hi, is 2.1 still available to download? I'm trying to update a Turnigy 9x with 2.1 using Companion 2.1.9 and all attempts at downloading it result with "Compilation server requires registration, please check OpenTX web site".

Spent a fair amount of time on the website, but couldn't find anything regarding registration.

Many thanks

No such messages exists in companion as far as I know, and it works here. A screenshot of the actual error might help.
You might need to replace the libs as mentioned here:
