  Hi @dougmiller
  If your VOXL 2 Mini is TrustZone Configured for UART over J10, then yes, there are 2 pins available as inputs.
  https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-mini-connectors/#j10---external-uart
  You can see GPIO_40, GPIO_46 and GPIO_64 are input capable.
  GPIO_40 and GPIO_64 are able to be configured to do wake events in the SoC so they have extra configuration to route to a power manager. Depending on how you write your IRQ routine, that may or may not help.
  Hope this helps!

  Hi All,

  Sorry for the delay again. We were chasing down a vibration issue which was apparently causing significant rolling shutter artifacts on the front camera in my tests. Apparently some of the lenses for IMX412 cameras have loose internal components, causing the vibration which is impossible to correct. On my test platform (Starling 2 Max), I had this issue and no frame modifications improved anything. The last thing to try was to switch out the lens and the issue was completely gone.

  We will investigate the reason for the loose lenses and the solution. In my case, shaking the lens would result in audible rattle inside the lens. If anyone has "shaky" lens, we will send a replacement.

  I will post some sample videos of what a bad lens might look like.

  The good news is that there is actually no major vibration issue on the Starling 2 Max and I can move forward with the EIS sw release.. stay tuned for another day or so! 🙂

  I tried swapping the tof camera with a spare one I had around. The spare tof worked immediately without issue. I then disconnected the spare tof, configured the camera server with only hires and tracking (with no connected tof camera, which worked fine). I then tried to plug back in the original tof and it started working again. So nothing changed, just unplugged and plugged back the tof camera and reflected the changes by configuring the camera server accordingly, weird...

  @qqa , we have document how to achieve folder-level encryption on VOXL2 here : https://docs.modalai.com/enabling-file-encryption/ . Please let us know if you have any other questions.

  Unbricked! Here's some context/advice for anyone trying to do the same. If you purchased a cheapo STLINK V2 from Amazon as I did. Picture below...

  $0 Fix:
  What may very well happen to ya, is the RESET pin doesn't work. In this case you will need a friend. With said friend, you must dilligently connect to the board using Under Reset Mode and Hardware Reset. The second your homie clicks the connect button, you, the bricker of the board must move your jumper cable from the RESET pin which is 3.3V to an open Ground, leave it for exactly 1 second, then move it back to RESET. This should work like a charm, but may require one or two tries to get the right timing. See instructions below.

  $10 Fix:
  Program a Pico/Arduino to do your 1 second ground for you.

  $78 Fix:
  Buy the real STLINK V2.

  Hi @Amir-Avni,

  Does your silkscreen on VOXL2 show M0154 or M0054?

  If M0054, it's 'hard coded' as an output only... behind a uni-directional level shifter.....

  If it's M0154, there's a directional level shifter in front of that GPIO that allows us to (with a kernel tweak) switch between UART and SPI.

  By default we are configured for UART use case, and the level shifter is set to allow an INPUT, by setting GPIO 67 low (as default), which is setup in device tree here, see "67" in modalai,gpio-init-output-low
  https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/system-image-build/meta-voxl2-bsp/-/blob/v1.8.02/recipes-kernel/linux-msm/files/dts/common/m0xxx-modalai-gpio.dtsi?ref_type=tags#L12

  To enable VOXL2 J10 pin6 (gpio46) as an input, make sure gpio67 is set to low

  ok I found the problem...
  the Cube Serial inteface are driven by TXS0108E Level Shifter powered both side with 3.3 volt making it marginal for the Voxl Primary Serial interface. Switching to secondary interface on the Voxl made it work correctly.

  I sent a request for a change in the WIKI to reflect that configuration
