Is there a way to install packages (similar to ones on the Voxl1, such as docker and ROS) without internet access? Additionally, are the debians on this page for both the RB5 and the Voxl2 interchangebly? http://voxl-packages.modalai.com/dev-deb/ i was able to install the voxl-suite package, but I got this error when trying to install voxl-docker-support: voxl2:~/deb$ dpkg -i voxl-docker-support_1.1.3-202201182231.deb Selecting previously unselected package voxl-docker-support.

I wanted to run a docker image I had built for Voxl1 that has ROS/OpenCV and a node for a USB camera. Alternately, is there a debian for ROS that I can install directly on the Voxl2? ## Reply by Chad Sweet (ModalAI staff) · 2022-03-29 00:08:31 UTC The easiest would be to use an add-on board that provides connectivity either directly or with a WiFi dongle. The supported Wifi dongles list can be found here: https://beta-docs.modalai.com/voxl2-wifidongle-user-guide/ ## Reply by Eric Katzfey (ModalAI staff) · 2022-03-29 00:22:00 UTC @sarahl Some packages in dev-deb will work on RB5 as well as Voxl2, but they are really only intended for Voxl2 at this point. We will be making a formal release with a set of packages that work on both RB5 and Voxl2 in about a week. ## Reply by sarahl · 2022-04-08 14:40:51 UTC (in reply to Eric Katzfey) @Eric-Katzfey Thanks Eric, I look forward to the release! Any update on when that will be? ## Reply by sarahl · 2022-04-08 14:45:02 UTC (in reply to Chad Sweet) @Chad-Sweet I finally got a hold of a wifi dongle from the lab, but it's [this one](https://www.amazon.com/Edimax-EW-7811Un-V2-Compatible-2-6-18-4-14/dp/B08F2ZNC6J/ref=asc_df_B08F2ZNC6J/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=475692076734&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7277300555318053679&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9061285&hvtargid=pla-1039482949856&psc=1) so I'm not sure if it's compatible. So far, it's not lighting up as usual when plugged into the fastboot board (M0078) via the usb-female connector. This dongle usually works with our other ubuntu machines, but maybe we'll have to order some of the supported ones listed on the page. One thing I wanted to ask about that docs page, it mentions under the "rebooting" section that the dongle should now be connected to voxl2 via usb-c. is that typo? I have it connected via the fastboot board and jst-to-usb cable, but the usb-c is being used for adb currently. Also, is there any indicator on the expander board that it's properly plugged into the voxl2? ## Reply by Eric Katzfey (ModalAI staff) · 2022-04-08 14:55:34 UTC (in reply to sarahl) @sarahl No, it definitely does not need to be in USB C. ## Reply by tom (ModalAI staff) · 2022-04-08 18:18:41 UTC @sarahl The dongle's driver is most likely not built in to the kernel by default. What does `lsusb` show? It may show the name of the necessary driver. ## Reply by sarahl · 2022-04-14 15:16:02 UTC (in reply to tom) @tom this is what lsusb shows: Bus 001 Device 003: ID 7392:b811 Edimax Technology Co., Ltd ## Reply by sarahl · 2022-04-14 15:18:46 UTC Separate question: so I have wifi hooked up on an RB5, but everytime I reboot, the ip address changes. Is there a way to change that? It doesn't seem to happen with my voxls (in station). ## Reply by tom (ModalAI staff) · 2022-04-14 16:54:41 UTC (in reply to sarahl) @sarahl You'd probably be better off purchasing one of the dongles listed here: https://beta-docs.modalai.com/voxl2-wifidongle-user-guide/ It takes some work to integrate a new WiFi driver and isn't the most straight-forward thing to do. ## Reply by tom (ModalAI staff) · 2022-04-14 16:55:19 UTC (in reply to sarahl) @sarahl As for static ip on RB5, I would check out this thread for more info: https://forum.modalai.com/topic/794/how-to-set-up-a-static-ip-in-rb5/17?_=1649955285381 ## Reply by tom (ModalAI staff) · 2022-04-14 16:55:50 UTC @sarahl It is a known bug with the Thundercomm SOMs. ## Reply by sarahl · 2022-04-14 17:18:11 UTC @tom thanks! we did put in an order for some, so hopefully I will get those soon. also thanks for the link, I'll check it out! ## Reply by sarahl · 2022-05-16 22:41:38 UTC So I'm trying to reflash the Voxl2, but the image listed in the docs (https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-platform-release/#voxl2_platform_121-07) doesn't seem to be available on the downloads page, just 1.1.4. Is this available yet? We've had issues installing the available system image (1.1.4) with/without the fastboot board, either with fastboot devices showing nothing, or getting an error like: sudo ./flash-full.sh [INFO] version: 0.0 [INFO] adb installed [INFO] fastboot installed [INFO] qti-ubuntu-robotics-image-qrb5165-rb5-boot.img present [INFO] abl.elf present [INFO] qti-ubuntu-robotics-image-qrb5165-rb5-sysfs.ext4 present [INFO] Rebooting to fastboot bootloader error: no devices/emulators found [INFO] Flashing boot.img target reported max download size of 805306368 bytes sending 'boot_a' (20884 KB)...

FAILED (data write failure (Cannot send after transport endpoint shutdown)) finished. total time: 7.594s Edit: Actually, I got the fastboot image flashing to work on one board! But still wondering if this updated image is available, thanks! ## Reply by Guest · 2022-05-16 23:49:38 UTC We just uploaded the image to the downloads page, it can be found under the VOXL2 platform releases folder! ## Reply by sarahl · 2022-05-17 13:19:40 UTC (in reply to Guest) @Alex-Gardner thanks so much! ## Reply by sarahl · 2022-06-08 21:32:15 UTC What's the best way to install full ROS melodic without all the voxl-suite packages being uninstalled due to dependency conflicts (e.g. opencv)? ## Reply by sarahl · 2022-06-08 23:24:56 UTC Also, how should mavros (px4.launch) be run with the internal px4 on the voxl2?
