    I have been testing the VOXL Cam (system image 3.3.0) and had an error show up when connecting to a rostopic listener.

    I let the full voxl-* system services run, and then launch the mpa_to_ros adapter which exposes the data over ros-topic. My roscore is running on another machine on the same network. I have confirmed that voxl is correctly pointing to that rosmaster using the ROS_MASTER_URI and ROS_IP environmental variables.

    On the ros-master machine, when I subscribe to the /qvio/pose or /qvio/odometry topic, I begin to see errors in the terminal running the mpa_to_ros adapter. A sample of the errors are below. I do not get any messages echoed on the terminal where I am running "rostopic echo /qvio/pose"

        I had the same issue. Updating the voxl_mpa_to_ros package resolved it for me:

        opkg update
        opkg install voxl-nodes
