    @tom The serial is this: M22000001WW. Thank you for Checking. Do you think if you could give me some hints about the problems as well?

    @Pooyan That serial number seems to be the number for your power module. Maybe there's another elsewhere.

    As for other tips...

    Make sure you don't have the package brltty installed as that will often hijack devices on ttyACM, you can remove it with sudo apt remove brltty

    Also, if you do in fact have a FCv2, you have to remove both power and usb and then only plug in power. It'll provide enough power via. usb in order to flash the device.

      @tom Hello again and sorry for my late response.

      There is another serial number: M2100000J6P

      Thank you so much for checking that.

      One thing I want to mention is that I couldn't ever get connected via USB only. I have tried both Windows and Linux. I need to connect the battery first, and then the USB will be recognized. Having said that even in that situation, it will not be recognized with QGC. I would appreciate it if you could give some hints on this.
      On Ubuntu, I tried dmesg -w and made sure that till the power is not connected, the USB will not get connected.

      I did sudo apt remove brltty as you said, and tried again but everything is still the same as screenshots I sent previously.

      Do you have any more suggestions?

        @Pooyan Okay great thanks, It does appear that you have a FCv2. Can you show point out the USB port you are using in order to connect the flight core to your PC?

            @Pooyan So in the voxl-cam there are two separate boards: VOXL and Flight Core. That connector you're plugging into is USB port that allows you to access ADB on VOXL, seen here: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-cam-user-guide-core/#connect-to-voxl-cam-with-adb

            What you need to connect to in order to flash flight core is J3, which can be seen here: https://docs.modalai.com/flight-core-v2-usb-to-qgc/#j3---usb--qgroundcontrol

            In the photo on this page it is the blue connector: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-cam-user-guide-flight/#voxl-cam-v1-flight-core-setup

            You need to use an MCBL-00010, seen here: https://docs.modalai.com/cable-datasheets/#mcbl-00010 in combination with a usb to micro-usb cable to plug into your pc

            It can be purchased here: https://www.modalai.com/products/mcbl-00010?_pos=26&_sid=5684dd53e&_ss=r

              @tom Thank you so much for letting me know. I didn't know they mean that when they say USB in the documents. I will buy that and get back to you. Thanks again.

                @tom Hello again,

                I got the USB cable and did the update for the FC2 using the QGC application. The versions I can see in QGC are as follow:
                ee652a7c-674f-4c8e-be5f-1300b1076499-image.png
                At first the Airframe and Actuators tabs were red, but now they are not. I tried to update the parameters through QGC, however, still in Actuators I am not sure if everything is fine:
                aff27561-718c-4b5d-bf11-376b45dbf900-image.png
                Now, if I disconnect the USB and connect through wi-fi, still I can't get connected to the QGC, the red led will blink and the VOXL-inspect-services is as it was after flashing (no px4 is there in the list):
                a641c4ec-ef0a-4a76-98c7-6cc6048d019f-image.png
                I will appreciate it if you could give me some hints on that.

                  @tom to get connected to the QGC, I need to configure the voxl-vision-px4 and add the ip to it in order to be able to get connected to the QGC, but this file does not exist and when I try voxl-vision-hub, there is no place for an ip to get connected to QGC.

                    @Pooyan You won't see voxl-px4 in the last because that is only on voxl2 where px4 runs on voxl itself. In your case, px4 is running on the flight core.

                    In newer SDKs, you can set the gcs ip in /etc/modalai/voxl-mavlink-server.conf

                    {
                            "primary_static_gcs_ip":        "192.168.8.10",
