    Wondering how this is setup by default. I'd like to try and use the VOXL2 to both do Sense and Avoid, as well as some object detection. If Sense and Avoid is able to run solely on the CPU, then I figured I would have the entire GPU available for object detection. Is this a feasible plan?

    Thank you!

      In short, no the VOXL 2 VOA is not using the GPU.

      The qrb5165-dfs-server runs on the CVP, which is a computer vision dsp.

      The voxl-tflite-server can put different models on CPU, GPU or NPU based on how the model is configured for object recognition.
