How to Manually Clone the Scripts to Patch ArduPilot for UAV Toolbox Repository

During the Hardware Setup process, the Scripts to Patch ArduPilot for UAV Toolbox repository is automatically cloned in the Clone Scripts to Patch ArduPilot for UAV Toolbox screen. If this automatic cloning fails, perform these steps to manually clone the repository.

  1. Start your WSL distribution.

    • Open Command prompt and execute: 

      wsl -d <distributionName>

    • Replace  <distributionName> with the name of your WSL Ubuntu 22.04 distribution.

  2. Choose the clone location.

    Use a Windows folder location rather than the WSL folder location

    • To clone the repository to your home directory, execute: 

      cd ~

    • Or, to clone to a specific Windows folder, execute:

      For example: 

      cd /mnt/c/Users/<username>/Documents/MATLAB

      Replace <username> with your username.

  3. Clone the repository.

    • In the opened WSL distribution execute: 

      git clone https://github.com/mathworks-robotics/scripts-patch-ardupilot-uav-toolbox

      This will create a folder named scripts-patch-ardupilot-uav-toolbox .

  4. Checkout the required firmware branch.

    • Navigate to the cloned directory: 

      cd scripts-patch-ardupilot-uav-toolbox
git checkout v1.0

    • If you get an error about the branch/tag not existing, execute:

      git fetch origin --tags

  5. Once the clone is successful, return to the Clone Scripts to Patch ArduPilot for UAV Toolbox screen. Specify the path to your cloned repository and then click Clone Repository button.
