@Steve-Sager I would update to the latest release, VOXL Platform 0.9, it can be downloaded from https://developer.modalai.com/asset/1
and installed by following the instructions here: https://docs.modalai.com/platform-releases/
We've made a lot of improvements recently so it wouldn't hurt to get you using the latest

@tom I tried following the install instructions you sent me but ran into an issue. when I try to use the ./install.sh -f command the reboot into fastboot turns off the adb connection to the voxl and fails. Any suggestions? I tried using the expander & debug kit to boot into fastboot, but that results in the same problem.
here are some images of what is showing up in my Git Bash prompt.

@Steve-Sager We don't support using Windows for flashing. Do you have an Ubuntu machine you could use to flash? Preferably Ubuntu 18.04.
@tom I have a Ubuntu 20.04 machine will that be okay?
-
looks like the problem was Windows. let me double check and I'll post again what happens but it is loading now...

@tom would you happen to know how to get the ecdsa password for my aircraft?
-
@Steve-Sager If you're referring to the SSH login:
Defaults are as follows
user: root
pass: oelinux123@tom After following all the instructions and successfully flashing the new firmware onto the aircraft. I have connected to the ssh once again and set the QGC IP address to the correct laptop ip but the aircraft still isn't connecting to QGC.

@Steve-Sager Here's something else to look at: https://docs.qgroundcontrol.com/master/en/troubleshooting/qgc_setup.html#waiting_for_connection

@tom I will be looking to the firewall to make sure it wasn't that, but we have allowed the application past the wall. Could this be related to to something else?
-
it looks like the previous command you had me run:
cat /etc/modalai/voxl-vision-px4.conf | grep qgc_ip
is giving me a different ip address than the one we put into voxl-vision-px4. how do I change that one to the correct address? -
SUCCESS! we have established connection to the aircraft. everything is working. @tom thanks so much for all your help
The solution was to update the aircraft using a linux system instead of windows.
Then we had to to use ssh-keygen to reconnect to the aircraft, and used the new aircraft ip address.
Finally we had to manually set the qgc ip twice.
We are now back up and runningCheers!

@Steve-Sager Great to hear! Just to confirm you flashed the latest platform release, 0.9? Making a note of your issue. It's very unusual that you would have to manually edit the qgc_ip. Thank you for being patient.
@tom Yeah I am on 0.9 platform release
