    Hi!,
    I'm currently using a imx214 camera with a voxl2 board. I'm trying to setup the hires imx214 only so I am trying to setup a custom config.
    I'm using the latest voxl-suite (1.4.1) which no longer has default configurations for imx214.

    /data/modalai/custom_camera_config.txt

    #!/bin/bash
    
    ################################################################################
    #
    # This file allows setting of custom camera configurations by defining what
    # sensors are plugged into which port.
    #
    # There is no guarantee that any arbitrary configuration will work. Only the
    # predefined camera configs at https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-camera-configs/
    # are supported.
    #
    # each slot can be one of the following sensors:
    #
    # pmd-tof
    # pmd-tof-liow2
    # ov7251
    # ov7251-combo
    # ov9782
    # ov9782-combo
    # ar0144
    # ar0144-fsin (for use with m0173 and Starling 2 only)
    # ar0144-fsin-combo (for use with m0173 and Starling 2 only)
    # ar0144-12bit
    # ar0144-12bit-fsin (for use with m0173 and Starling 2 only)
    # ar0144-12bit-fsin-combo (for use with m0173 and Starling 2 only)
    # imx214
    # imx412
    # imx412-fpv (low latency mode)
    # imx678
    #
    #
    # When using a combo mode pair, you must also add a JX_COMBO_MODE field which
    # specifies is the pair is to be set up as either a stereo pair ordered
    # left-right, right-left, or treated as two independent cameras. If you are
    # using a combo-mode flex but only physically connect one of the two cameras
    # then select "single" it does not matter which one you connect.
    #
    # For example:
    # J6_LOWER_COMBO_MODE="left-right"
    # J6_LOWER_COMBO_MODE="right-left"
    # J6_LOWER_COMBO_MODE="independent"
    # J6_LOWER_COMBO_MODE="single"
    #
    # when running "independent" combo mode, also add a NAME2 field for the second cam
    # e.g J6_LOWER_NAME2="tracking_rear"
    #
    # for all sensors except TOF, you can specify a "rotate" flag to
    # rotate the image 180 degrees e.g. J6_LOWER_ROTATE="true" or "false"
    # for stereo pairs (e.g. ov7251 combo or ar0144-slave-strereo) you can specify
    # "rotate-first-only" or "rotate-second-only" to only rotate one, other wise
    # when setting the rotate option to "true" both will be rotated.
    #
    #
    # Once configured, this file should live in /data/modalai/custom_camera-config.txt
    # then run voxl-configure-cameras custom to load it in
    #
    #
    # cp /usr/share/modalai/voxl-camera-server/custom_camera_config.txt /data/modalai/
    #
    # We also suggest changing your /data/modalai/sku.txt file to have a camera
    # config term "CC" such as MRB-D0005-4-V2-CC

    I have made all connections as per the [C-08 configuration] however the camera is not being detected.
    (https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-camera-configs/#c-08-hires-only)

    I appreciate any advice that can help me resolve this issue.
