The cameras were working fine up until recently and I did not attempt to modify any hardware. The following cameras are connected to VOXL Flight (connectors) :
tracking (port J4)
hires (port J2)
tof (port J3)
I performed the following setup after flashing the image:
voxl-configure-cameras 6 # Hires + TOF + Tracking
voxl-configure-extrinsics starling_v1_voxl_flight
voxl-configure-qvio factory_enable_imu0 # for VOXL Flight all-in-one board.
Which yielded the following extrinsics:
voxl-inspect-extrinsics

I doubt all cameras are dead... Could this be linked to some hardware/software version mismatch of the expected camera types? Any pointers as to how to address this issue would be much appreciated!
