    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 Modem

    However, 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 port
    

    Any suggestions on how to resolve this or what might be going wrong?

    Thanks in advance!7274d094-adfa-4627-afcd-bdb1fac9e4c2.png
