    Vinny and Tom, thank you so much!! Final Follow up questions below and I should be good Can a userspace service drive GPIO_46 as a plain output while the kernel SPI driver holds it as CS1 for /dev/spidev14.1, or do we need to remove that chip select from the device tree? What state are GPIO_46 and the level shifter in from power-on until the SPI driver loads? On the ESC cables: Does MCBL-00015-2 replace the kit's UART cable? It's listed as straight-through 1:1, but the M0138 data sheet says to leave J1 pin 1 (3.3 V reference out) unconnected, and our notes show VOXL 2 J18 pin 1 also carries 3.3 V. Is the 1:1 cable fine on the M0138, or should pin 1 be left open? Can the 150 mm -2 version be ordered for a production build? Is there a 150 mm version of the kit's VOXL 2 power cable? Is a stable SDK planned that includes voxl-px4 1.18.0-1.0.12 or newer?

    Hi @saegsali yes, I can help with this. Sorry for the delay in responding here... I will email you to enable the schematic transfer and review setup. For your schematic, these items will ensure a speedy and seamless review: Searchable PDF All items annotated and page numbers correct Off page references if multi-page Caps and R's should have their ratings visible (voltages, power, values) A simple block diagram to help me understand what you are trying to do. Thanks!

    Hi @gerhold-ten-voorde Yes, you are correct. Pin 56 is the signal "FORCE_USB_BOOT". It is default weakly pulled down by the SoC. To enter eDL/QDL mode, this switch connects a 2-2.2K pullup to VREG_S4A_1P8 (J3 pin 47). So, on M0154, the default OPEN/OFF position does noting, when ON it enables the pullup. Hope that helps. Thanks! Vinny

    Hi @dakota_ltu Under an NDA we could consider the ESC. However, even under NDA, we cannot share the VOXL 2 Schematics unless the recipient is also a Qualcomm licensee with their own NDA with Qualcomm. If that is still a path with value to you, please use this form: https://www.modalai.com/pages/contact-us

    You might also want to double check the current rating of the power module versus the full load from your setup. A lot of weird reboot or brownout issues end up being power related, especially once extra peripherals get added. Keeping the wiring short and using a stable regulator helps too.
