Flash Flat Build Fails During sahara_run on M0054-1 (VOXL 2)
-
Hi ModalAI Team,
I'm trying to flash the following flat build to my VOXL 2:
Build: 2024-06-17-1.7.4-M0054-1
Board: M0054-1
Tool: QDL Tool (GUI version)
Status: Device is detected – QDL device connected: Qualcomm Gobi Wireless ModemHowever, the flashing process fails during the sahara_run step. Here's the output from the log:
Flashing Flat Build…
{"message": "modal hello\n[MODALAI] test log\n\n[MODALAI] Executing usb_open\n[MODALAI] Completed usb_open\n[MODALAI] Executing sahara_run\n\n\nFlash flat build failed\n"}Despite the GUI showing “Flash flat build succeeded” in green at the bottom, the log clearly indicates a failure in sahara_run.
What I’ve tried so far:
Multiple USB ports and cables Power cycling the board Re-downloading the build Running as root / with permissions Ensuring no other process is using the USB portAny suggestions on how to resolve this or what might be going wrong?
Thanks in advance!
