  I found https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/system-image-build/meta-voxl2/-/blob/qrb5165-ubun1.0-14.1a/recipes-products/image/qti-ubuntu-robotics-image.bbappend#L148, which is in bitbake language (not familiar)?

  Is

  do_makeuserdata() { make_ext4fs -s -l ${USERDATA_SIZE_EXT4} ${IMAGE_EXT4_SELINUX_OPTIONS} \ -a /data -b 4096 ${DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE}/${OVERLAYIMAGE_TARGET} ${IMAGE_ROOTFS}/data }

  something I could do just on normal ubuntu in CI? I'm thinking to build a cleo-specific userdata in CI with all of our custom software.

  What are ${IMAGE_EXT4_SELINUX_OPTIONS}, is there some secret sauce there?

  @Alex-Kushleyev Sounds good! I did not make any changes since the revisions you shared 5 days ago.

  I’m currently evaluating OpenVINS on a Flight Deck 2 platform (VOXL2 + OV7251 tracking camera mounted at a downward-forward angle).
  I would like to test OpenVINS with a proper configuration, but I noticed that there are no Flight Deck 2–specific yaml files in the following directory:

  https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/services/voxl-open-vins-server/-/tree/master/misc_files/usr/share/modalai/voxl-open-vins/VoxlConfig

  Would it be possible for the ModalAI team to add a set of yaml configurations optimized for Flight Deck 2?

  Thank you very much for your support!

  @Alex-Kushleyev Sorry I am a little confused now, I thought to deploy an updated version of voxl-mpa-tools with my custom app I had to cross-compile before using adb to push to the voxl2. In general, if I were to add custom code to any voxl source code project, how do I make sure my new code is being ran and not the old code? What are you referring to above?

  Hey @dvz, thanks for your query

  We’re currently in the process of updating the voxl-tag-detector to support additional AprilTag families beyond just the 36h11.

  If you’d like to try this yourself in the meantime, the following line in main.cpp creates the detector for the 36h11 family: here

  To add support for the tagCustom48h12 family, you can:

  Add the include:

  #include <tagCustom48h12.h>

  Replace the detector creation line with:

  tf = tagCustom48h12_create();

  Please note that this change may affect the current functionality, you’ll likely need to make additional modifications in main.cpp to ensure it builds and runs correctly.
  As mentioned, we’re actively working on making this a much smoother process in the future. But if you’d like to get started now, the above steps should point you in the right direction.

  Dear ModalAI Team,

  we are currently developing a prototype for an indoor inspection drone and had a question regarding the VOXL Mapper.
  Is it possible to automatically trigger the Plan to Home function of VOXL Mapper in the event of a failsafe or connection loss?
  In other words, is there a way for PX4 to trigger an event in the MPA Pipe?
  If this is not possible without significant effort, we are also considering implementing the voxblox algorithm in ROS2 and triggering a return-to-home event from PX4 through ROS2.
  Would it be possible for PX4 to trigger such an event in ROS2 — for example, in response to a failsafe condition?

  Thanks in advance!

  @Mastermind That sounds like it would be possible, but obviously depends on the driver of the wlan adapter you choose. You would need to implement the bluetooth broadcast portion of Remote ID. The source code for voxl-remote-id is here and only currently supports the Wifi portion of Remote ID
