    I am trying to use voxl-portal to see the images from the pmd tof sensor.
    According to voxl-version I am running system image 3.2 with voxl-suite 3.4.

    I configured the cameras to use only the TOF on J3.

    I can use voxl-inspect-service and I can see that the voxl-camera-server is enabled and running.

    I managed to install voxl-portal with the following ppkg install voxl-portal and that seemed fine.

    So in the voxl I ran voxl-portal and it started web server with the following.

    2022-03-10 04:03:31 2 mongoose.c:3317:mg_listen 1 accepting on http://0.0.0.0:80 (port 80)

    So then I go to my web browser and I can see the voxl-portal site when I navigate to the site, and head to the drop down for cameras nothing pops up. And then on the voxl terminal it will just close. The voxl-portal web page just shows the green bar at the top and quits when clicking the drop down.

    If I run the voxl-inspect-camera tof_depth that seems to work fine? It outputs like the following.

    |size(bytes)| height | width |exposure(ms)| gain | frame id |latency(ms)|Framerate(hz)| format
    | 154112 | 172 | 224 | 0.0 | 0 | 1118 | 36.5 | 29 | FLOAT32^C

    Am I missing something? I am also pasting the output of journalctl -u voxl-camera-server.

      Check out the voxl-suite releases here: releases

      It seems likely you need to update system image though. The latest published is 3.3

        @Chad-Sweet Is the 3.3 version on the asset page? https://developer.modalai.com/asset

        The latest one that I see is: modalai-3-2-0-0.3.4-b.tar.gz

        Or does it go by a different name, such as VOXL Platform Release 3-3-0 0.5.0 a
