    @Chad-Sweet
    So, what do you think the problem might be?
    I’ll be taking a more detailed look at PX4 next.
    If you feel that is where the issue is for the VIO.

        Hi,
        If the problem is coming from PX4, how should I go about resolving it? Should I be speaking with PX4 support instead of ModalAi?

          @Chad-Sweet @Adrian-Hidalgo ,
          For PX4 confirmation, here is my voxl vision status.

          Could this be a time/clock, or a watchdog timer issue?

            Hi Kris

            It looks like the voxl-vision-px4 and voxl-qvio-server versions have gotten out of sync, likely voxl-vision-px4 has been updated but voxl-qvio-server was not.

            Do you mind proving the output from the following 3 commands so I can check the state of the opkg package manager

            cat /etc/opkg/opkg.conf 
            opkg info voxl-vision-px4
            opkg info voxl-qvio-server
            

            Thanks,
            James

                Yes, It seems your installed voxl-vision-px4 and libmodal_pipe versions are from SDK 0.8 wheras your voxl-qvio-server is from SDK 0.7, that is the source of the mismatch.

                You can upgrade qvio server with opkg install voxl-qvio-server to fix the mismatch quickly but I would recommend just flashing back to the SDK 0.7 platform release since SDK 0.8 does not support TOF on VOXL1. The platform releases are tested as a whole an include a set of packages all known to work together. When individual packages get upgraded instead of the whole SDK together then things tend to break.

                    @James-Strawson could you please help me with flashing back to SDK 0.7 or provide a link explaining how to flash back to a lower SDK?
                    This can be done over ssh right? Or do I need to ADB into voxl?
