I was testing with a VOXL2 Dev Bundle and everything was working correctly. And in a reboot I got this error. Now it pops up all the time and I can't make use of the voxl SDK.

How can I fix it?

Hi @AngelAlbeniz ,

The `jq` package is in our system image, I'm wondering if you have upgraded the system image at the same time?

`apt-get install jq` should fix it for you (assuming you have network connection)

Our system image installs it here: https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/system-image-build/meta-voxl2/-/blob/dev/recipes-append/recipes-core/ubuntu-base/ubuntu-base_18.04.bbappend#L12

(I would recommend updating the system image too if possible if you haven't?  We deliver our "platform release" in a system image and then the SDK that rides on top).

@modaltb Sorry for the delay in replying.

apt-get install jq, worked and fixed the problem. I am about to update the system image. 

Many thanks.
