    Hi Howard,

    So the issue here is you've built ceres-solver for the native architecture which would mean that if you are running voxl-cross on your own desktop it built ceres-solver for your desktops architecture. In any case we have our own ceres-solver which you can install. Could you post the results of running cat /etc/opkg/opkg.conf on your VOXL?

    Also just a heads up that I should have mentioned earlier. In about a week or two there will be a major update to voxl-mapper which should bring a lot of improvements but will change a lot of things.

      This is the output on voxl cross.but on voxl2 we couldn't run the command for opkg.
      Can you please tell the equivalent command for voxl 2 ?

          Can I double check. Did you run ./install_build_deps.sh before trying to build?

          If building for a VOXL 2 the full command would be ./install_build_deps.sh qrb5165 stable

            If we are building it for voxlcam, what should be used?

            If we use ./install_build_deps.sh apq8096 stable, we get the error,

              @Nishkala you can instead use ./install_build_deps.sh apq8096 sdk-0.8

                    What works for me is:

                    voxl-cross:~/voxl-mapper(master)(0.0.7)$ ./install_build_deps.sh apq8096 sdk-0.8

                    scp voxl-mapper_0.0.7.ipk root@10.0.1.10:

                    On voxl 1 board, I added arm64 7 to /etc/opkg/arch.conf
                    voxl:~$ voxl-configure-opkg dev
                    opkg install --force-reinstall --force-downgrade --force-depends --force-overwrite voxl-mapper_0.0.7.ipk

                    Then everything seems to work so far!

                      @Matthew-Booker However, when I try to save the mesh from the portal, in my compiled version, I get this symbol not found error. Any ideas why it can not find this function and how to fix it? Many thanks in advance.

                        @Arjun-Jain Looks like a mismatch in the voxl-voxblox version. Since you've already configured opkg you should just be able to run opkg install voxl-voxblox and it should work.

                            @Nishkala When you build for voxl2 you need to use qrb5165 not apq8096 so the full command would be:
                            ./install_build_deps.sh qrb5165 sdk-0.8
                            ./build.sh qrb5165
                            ./make_package.sh

                              ./make_package.sh
                              ./deploy_to_voxl.sh

                              I ran voxl-mapper after this on the board and got the error 'voxl-mapper: symbol lookup error: voxl-mapper: undefined symbol: _ZNK7voxblox5LayerINS_9EsdfVoxelEE10saveToFileENSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEEb
                              '

                              I wanted to add arm64 to /etc/opkg/arch.conf but voxl2 uses apt. How to solve the above issue?

                                That error occurs when theres a voxl-voxblox version mismatch. The version of voxl-voxblox on your voxl2 is older. On your voxl2 if you run the following it should update

                                apt install voxl-voxblox
