@dk7xe See https://github.com/mavlink/qgroundcontrol/blame/master/src/VehicleSetup/FirmwareUpgradeController.cc#L65 it is set to 35. Are you using a daily or some old version of QGC?

QGC Version: v4.3.0 QGC build: stable

That was the first stable with Pixhawk6X-RT support. And it's currently also the last release ;)

With latest QGC daily it is working. Please provide a new stable QGC release.

@mrpollo when is the next QGC release planned that adds support for Pixhawk6X-RT?

Solved with QGC release 4.4.0
