    @tom Alright, thanks. It hasn't changed yet. At this point what should I expect?

      @tom This is what I see with lsusb. The Voxl shows up as Qualcomm. Inc.

            @Jayden-Smith Can you try removing the add-on board and see if the board boots into the same mode when queried via. lsusb?

                @Jayden-Smith The mode that it is booting into is called "EDL" (Emergency Download Mode) and unfortunately the only way to recover the board is using a tool that requires a special license from Qualcomm. The best path forward will be for you to submit an RMA for this board: https://www.modalai.com/pages/rma

                  Hi @Jayden-Smith
                  Please do not power on any circuits board while they are in or on an ESD bag.
                  Doing so can cause permanent damage.
                  Thanks
