VOXL2 troubleshooting
-
I have two VOXL2 boards as parts of Starling drones. They were both unresponsive to ADB so I reinstalled the base firmware using the unbrick procedures. I was able to get a successful result from QDL for both the provisioning and flat build install, however, ADB from my Linux machine does not find the devices. How do I troubleshoot this further?
Thank you

@claw It looks as though the board is booting into fastboot. At this point you should be able to install the voxl2_SDK with
./install.sh -
@tom I tried to install the SDK but it failed.
I did re-read the instructions for unbricking which do say that ADB should be available after installing the flat build. Is there a mechanism for returning the boards for repair?
@claw Can you double check that you're loading the correct QDL image? You'll need to determine whether your board is an M0054-1 or M0054-2

@tom i did check that initially and again before I loaded it this last time. We have the older version boards.
-
@claw I would try installing the SDK with
./install.sh -wto wipe all partitions and start fresh.If that doesn't work it may be worth submitting an RMA: https://www.modalai.com/pages/rma

@tom That completed successfully, but still doesn't provide adb. Also, lsusb still shows the fastboot device whereas the other Starlings that are working show a qualcom device.
