The following is my voxl version:
```
voxl:~$ voxl-version 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
system-image: 3.8.0
kernel:       #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Apr 26 18:08:39 UTC 2022 3.18.71-perf
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hw version:   VOXL
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
voxl-suite:   0.8.1
0.7.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
```

voxl related packages in opkg are:

```
voxl:~$ opkg list-installed | grep voxl

```
Initially I can view  `voxl-inspect-pose -f` without any issue:
```
voxl:~$ voxl-inspect-pose -f
timestamp(ms)|     Position (m)     | Roll Pitch Yaw (deg) |    Velocity (m/s)    | angular rate (deg/s) |

received SIGINT Ctrl-C
``` 
But after I execute `voxl-vision-px4 -b`, I get the following output:
```
voxl:~$ voxl-vision-px4 -b

The error being:

```

```
and `voxl-inspect-pose -f` shows nothing:

```
waiting for server at /run/mpa/vvpx4_body_wrt_fixed/
```
Why is it happening?

The partial packet read error usually occurs when there is a version mismatch between packages (i.e. the size of the packet has been updated and one package has the new size but another doesn't). If you update all of your packages together this issue should go away.
