    So basically the voxl was bricked and I put it into fastboot with the add-on board. Now I wanted to flash the software onto it. After running the script with the -f Flag it is stuck waiting for device. So basically after flashing it goes straight back into the bricked state.
    Here is the log:

    sudo ./install.sh -f

      Hello Arrowtec, was the fastboot switch turned off after ~5 seconds & then immediately launching into the install script with factory install? It does take a couple of seconds for the device to reboot to then install voxl-suite. However, if it lingers there, you may have to power cycle & restart the process again.
      We have this page to follow: https://docs.modalai.com/unbrick-voxl/
      With a video coming soon.

        I tried everything there was in the tutorial and spent like 1h with different timing. I was able to unbrick other Voxls before but this one doesn't want to. If there is a different method than what you already described please let me know.
