Is there a way to get apt-get installed on the Voxl? I want to develop using certain libraries and cant really get them another way.

Hey,
I will try my best to explain the idea I had.
You can use gstreamer to stream your camera to a shared memory sink (shmsink). To implement this I would use cv2 (python) with the video writer class to write the video to a FIFO file location. The location can be set to /temp/[name] which will utilize shared memory. This location can be mapped to both docker containers with the -v / --volume parameter so you can access the stream from the other docker container as well. This is obviously not the easiest nor best solution but probably better than a custom kernel.
All the best

Hey there,
I am trying to get the voxl-tflite-server to run on my Voxl. I know it is recommended to use 3.3.0 or greater but I experienced some issues with the newer versions and wanted to make it work on this version. Installing it seems to be going alright, but when trying to configure it this error occurs:

voxl-tflite-server: error while loading shared libraries: libmodal_pipe.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I ignored it and went on with the configuration. At the end no configuration file was created in the directory as shown here: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-tflite-server/
Furthermore after looking at the service which would be started this is the output of systemctl:

~ # systemctl status voxl-tflite-server -l
● voxl-tflite-server.service - voxl-tflite-server
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/bin/voxl-tflite-server; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

Here is the same error present not being able to load the libraries necessary.
Help would be appreciated

I'm just gonna leave this here if it affects others aswell:
I was stuck on the issue for a while but it was indeed an adb issue. Restarting it didn't fix the issue and I couldn't debug what the problem seems to be. Using another device (laptop) did work tho and I was able to unbrick it.
Thanks for the inputs Chad.

Hey, my voxl is stuck in waiting for device after trying to unbrick it with the addon board. I tried basically everything and followed the instructions precisly and tried power cycling it etc. Some help on what to do would be appreciated

I tried everything there was in the tutorial and spent like 1h with different timing. I was able to unbrick other Voxls before but this one doesn't want to. If there is a different method than what you already described please let me know.

So basically the voxl was bricked and I put it into fastboot with the add-on board. Now I wanted to flash the software onto it. After running the script with the -f Flag it is stuck waiting for device. So basically after flashing it goes straight back into the bricked state.
Here is the log:

Hey sorry for the late reply but I got it to work after some trial and error, not really sure why it wouldn't work in the first place but maybe I just got the timing way off. Thanks anyway

Is there a way to get apt-get installed on the Voxl? I want to develop using certain libraries and cant really get them another way.

After buying the debug board for my bricked VOXL and following the unbricking tutorial I still can't seem to let it show up on either sudo fastboot devices or adb devices. The LED1 on the VOXL is also only a solid green indicating that it is not in a boot mode. How would I proceed now?

I have a problem where my voxl flight showed up in adb devices, I ran the install.sh script and it failed and afterwards it didnt show up on my computer. Is there anything I can do without the debug board to fix this? Below is the code of the installation.

ben@ben-desktop:~/Downloads/modalai-3-1-0$ ./install.sh 
[INFO] adb installed
[INFO] fastboot installed

This process will completely wipe your VOXL
Would you like to preserve the /data/ partition which contains
things like calibration, wifi config, and docker images
To preserve files in /data/ answer Y
To wipe /data/ for a full factory flash answer N

Enter Y or N: 
y
