    Hello,

    I'm trying to push the VVPX4 package into VOXL without any changes but as soon I reboot the device the VIO pipeline seems to be closed as I get a '0' for both x and y coordinates of the local position. However, all the services are enabled and working (camera, qvio and vision). I have updated the voxl-suite to 0.8.1 but the positioning worked fine after that. It's when I pushed the VVPX4 package that the vio pipeline stops transferring data.

    / # voxl-inspect-services

      Hi,

      Just because the process is running doesn't necessarily mean that it's functioning properly, can you check/paste the logs from journalctl -u voxl-vision-px4 and see if anything there indicates what the issue is.
