With F.PORT both channel transmission and telemetry data are carried in a single wire.
This makes wiring much easier and additionally, transmission is faster due to improved protocol design.

The most old and new FrSky receivers have support for F.PORT protocol.

Channel transmission, telemetry and integration at the same time.

== Updating receiver to F.PORT 1 ==

First from all, updating receiver is required to make it work. Receiver must be flashed with F.Port firmware.

Please note, Spirit GT has support for F.PORT 1. F.PORT 2 protocol will be fully supported soon too.

ACCESS receivers are using F.PORT 2, ACCST receivers are offering F.PORT 1.
Difference between F.PORT 1 and 2 is that with 1 generation you can't connect a telemetry sensors at the same time.
With F.PORT 2 it is possible to connect everything together, similarly as with original S.PORT bus.

=== Downloading firmware ===

All firmwares can be downloaded from FrSky web pages here.

It is important to download F.PORT firmware always to make it work.
