has VOXL 2 Mini board support for Flir Boson cameras and are there additional components needed to connect to the Boson?

USB version should be ready to go:

USB connector on VOXL2 Mini (M0104) is J3.  It's USB3 but USB2 can be used on it:
   https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-mini-connectors/#j3-usb-3-10-pin

Boson 640 is USB2, but you can use this cable (likely event depop the USB3 portions and just use 4 wire)...

voxl-uvc-server has Boson support:

Thank you @modaltb, but I have selected Boson 320 (https://www.flircameras.com/thermal-imaging-cameras/thermal-imaging-cores/flir-boson-series.htm/flir-boson-320x256-2mm.htm). is this camera supported?

@Memmed-Shamurov although we haven't physically tried that one I would expect it to work, the source code for the voxl-uvc-server is open and maybe the resolution would need to be updated in config file, e.g. https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/services/voxl-uvc-server/-/blob/master/src/config_file.h?ref_type=heads#L49

A 'backback' is needed to get USB out of the Bosons like this: https://www.flircameras.com/rhp-bos-vpc3-if.htm , so highly likely it would work

@modaltb, [this](https://www.flircameras.com/rhp-bos-rc-hd-if.htm) is a remote control interface I chose to control the camera using SBUS and PWM from the remote controller directly. Do you recommend the interface board you mentioned or mine could be the choice?

@Memmed-Shamurov it claims `USB Video Support` so it 'should' work although we've not tried this exact one.
