    Hello, I have a voxl2 mini that I am trying to reflash with a new SDK however I'm running into issues. It detects the device and begins the flashing process but it then hangs at
    "
    Flashing: xbl_a | xbl.elf
    -------
    "
    and never progresses any more from there. All I'm doing is powering it with the fastboot button held and then running install.sh. I'm hoping someone can give me some advice on what I am doing wrong.

    Heres the full output after i run install.sh

        @mkriesel Can you confirm that you do have a QRB5165 SOM and not a QSM8250?

        This guide is VOXL2 based but still applicable: https://docs.modalai.com/m0054-versions/#m0054-1-and-m0054-2

          @tom Can you also try flashing with ./install.sh -w in order to wipe any corrupt partitions

            @tom Thanks for replying, I have actually resolved this already, There was an issue with the power supply and I guess whenever it would get to 12 % it would drop enough power to shut off and I didn't have access to any of the lights so I just didn't realize. After fixing the power supply I was able to complete the flashing process and everything is working properly now.
