    Hardware: Starling 2, M23000003C7

    Software version: sdk-1.6.4, v1.9.21

    What I am trying to do: Boot up the drone after a crash.

    What actually happens: The drone does not finish booting. All leds turn on, but the drone is not accessable from adb. lsusb reports the drone as:
    05c6:900e Qualcomm, Inc. QUSB_BULK_SN:2622B903

    I used qdl to read the crash dump and after some digging I saw that the boot ended with the following lines:

    I'm not sure exactly what the problem is and if there is an easy fix. The board looks visibly unharmed.

    Steps to reproduce: Probably caused by the crash, but unsure.
