  When we start t voxl-mpa-to-ros, the system usage becomes very high, the CPU is overheat very quickly. I found out it is because it constantly executing shell script voxl-list-pipes. Although it is doing it at 1 second interval, but that script is quite complicated, it invokes a lot other shell commands, such as cat, grep, tr, sort ... I disabled this repeating invoking voxl-list-pipes, the system usage went down. The CPU was not overhead. The purpose for repeating invoking voxl-list-pipes is for handle pipe added after voxl-mpa-to-ros started. But in most case we start voxl-map-to-ros after the services are started. I think at least it should make this function configurable.

  Thank you Alex! According to your reply, Should I use the gpu for large tasks such as Neural Network or large image instead of the task that need to process each frames?

  Just going through the included .so files in /usr/lib on the latest voxl 1 platform image, it looks like there may be a number of camera sensors which could be supported by voxl-camera-server (though I imagine the .so is just one part of the puzzle). Could someone from the team comment on whether this list is accurate: imx214 (already known and used, m0024, m0025) ar1335 (similar to see3 camera sensor?) imx230 imx274 imx296 imx377 (already known, m0026) imx378 imx412 imx477 ov7251 (this is the sensor used for the tracking camera and stereo cameras) ov9281 ov9782 Does anyone from the community have experience picking a camera sensor from this list from another vendor and integrating it with either the voxl 1 or voxl 2?
