Unbricking fails due to "protocol error"

Hi,
I have bricked a voxl in dev, trying to restore using the debug expansion, but the process fails:~/Downloads/modalai-3-1-0$ sudo ./install.sh [INFO] adb installed [INFO] fastboot installed This process will completely wipe your VOXL Would you like to preserve the /data/ partition which contains things like calibration, wifi config, and docker images To preserve files in /data/ answer Y To wipe /data/ for a full factory flash answer N Enter Y or N: n [INFO] Rebooting into fastboot... error: no devices/emulators found [INFO] Waiting for fastboot...

Are you flipping the fastboot switch back? Your symptom is consistent with leaving the fastboot switch engaged instead of setting it back to normal after a few seconds
