VOXL 2 runs an Ubuntu 18 OS, and we're not doing anything special to control networking functionality. Have you looked at the tutorial like this to see if you can configure that way?

@Eric-Katzfey 232. I'm not terribly worried about it. I've worked with their VN-100 series before, which we might go with. A logic shifter should work fine. So maybe we open another UART? Our custom daughter board connects to J3 and J5 so we can get more than 1 UART even though we're currently only using UART7? from the J3.

@Vinny It's all good. They work fine with soldering. It's more of a pain getting the headers off than anything else. We do stuff like that all the time. I've done 6 or 7 of them already.

@ryan-langlois1 We will definitely continue to support PX4 on VOXL 2. But we are also very interested in getting a port of ArduPilot going on VOXL 2 and have had some preliminary meetings with the ArduPilot community to start the process. But we cannot offer a timeline at this point.

Hi @ryan-langlois1 ,

I don't know of a way to do this at this point that is equivalent to say a hard drive clone...

In general, we are doing this using Yocto/Bitbake to generate the original system image, and customize it using recipes etc.

In our production line, we flash the bare minimum system image, and then load debian packages needed to get the functionality that we want.

We do this via the "Platform Release" (https://developer.modalai.com/). There's a few scripts and a bunch of packages in there, you can see this for reference, e.g. the offline-install.sh is a good example:

Hello,

The driver you are looking for (SMSC95XX) was recently added to our kernel build. It has not made its way to a platform release yet so you'll have to build kernel and flash your device with it.

From the information given, I believe you are on the VOXL2 platform. If this assumption is incorrect let me know and I'll link the instructions for building the VOXL1 kernel.

Here are the instructions for building the VOXL2 kernel. In order to build the kernel, you'll want to clone this qrb5165-kernel-build-docker repository. This project builds a docker image that we then use in order to build the kernel for the qrb5165 (VOXL2) device. For instructions on how to do so, you can look at our VOXL2 Kernel Build Guide.

Once the kernel is flashed, you'll have the driver enabled on your device. Please let me know if you run into any issues.

@Vinny Fantastic information. These are exact sizes I have on order now. Will be looking into the altium package as well.

@ryan-langlois1 Seems as though you've answeredthe question yourself but by default /etc/network/interfaces doesn't exist. It is created in certain configurations i.e. using Microhard with voxl-modem
