@Muqing-Cao Here is the latest beta release: https://storage.googleapis.com/platform-beta-releases/voxl2/voxl2_SDK_1.6.3-beta1.tar.gz

@mkriesel You'll need to re-flash the SDK and select the correct kernel option that supports C11.

When running ./install.sh you'll see the following options:

Would you like to continue with SDK install?
1) Yes, with questions along the way to configure VOXL 2
2) Yes, just update SDK keeping the same SKU configuration
3) No

Select, option 1, and you'll get the option to choose which kernel to flash

Detected: M0054-1 (QRB5165M)
Detected: Config 1 w/ M0173 Breakout Board (Starling 2 Max, Starling 2, FPV V5)

=======================================================================================================
In order to support all of VOXL's camera configurations, specific drones require differing kernel images.
Please select your drone hardware to proceed with flashing the appropriate kernel image.
=======================================================================================================

PLEASE SELECT WHICH KERNEL TO FLASH
0. M0054-1 -> QRB5165M, Starling (D0005), Sentinel (D0006), FPV V4 (D0008), D0010, PX4 Dev Kit (D0011)
1. M0054-1 -> QRB5165M w/ M0173 Camera Breakout Board, Starling 2 Max (D0012), Starling 2 (D0014), FPV V5 (D0008/D0019/D0020)

Select your choice from the options above
or press [Enter] to continue with current config: 

For your use case, you'll want to select option 0 as you are not using an M0173 camera breakout board and the C11 camera config is inherited from the sentinel (D0006) platform.

@taiwohazeez What SDK version are you running? Can you post the output of voxl-version?

It seems as though some missing CPU stats are causing the values to by shifted by one, the 98.2% is likely from voxl-open-vins-server

@Ashish-Kumar This is very abnormal, I'd recommend submitting an RMA: https://www.modalai.com/pages/rma

@Ashish-Kumar Are you using the same USB-C cable and port on your host machine that worked before? Also are you running linux natively on your machine or in a VM?

@Ashish-Kumar Can you run the following and then plug in the board to your host machine after powering it on?

dmesg -wH

and then copy any relevant enumeration info here

@saegsali What platform are you running? If you arm and get the drone in the air does the ov_overlay appear? This change was made to reduce CPU load on the ground, it can likely be turned off in /etc/modalai/voxl-open-vins-server.conf

@kabumei I'd recommend reaching out to Ascend Engineering: https://www.ascendengineer.com/

@Ashish-Kumar What OS are you running on your host machine? If linux can you provide the output of lsusb with the board powered and plugged in?

@jmltt SDK testing for Sentinel ended at SDK 1.4.0

That doesn't mean that newer releases won't work, it just means we don't put it through the SW QA testing cycles that we do with our newer platforms.

You likely won't see any major performance improvements on Sentinel with newer SDK releases but there may be some nice quality of life additions such as helper scripts, voxl-portal updates and others.

If you have any questions about any specific packages feel free to ask.

@Ashish-Kumar Can you post a picture of your hardware setup so I can verify all looks normal?

@latif You can order replacement propellors here: https://www.modalai.com/products/starling-propellers-set-of-4?_pos=1&_sid=4b5f94f4e&_ss=r

If you have access to a 3d printer there are some STL files available from our downloads page here: https://developer.modalai.com/

When you plug your VOXL2 in to your machine does it enumerate at all?

Worst case you can submit an RMA here: https://www.modalai.com/pages/rma

@latif You'll want to load the GPS specific px4 param file in order for "position" mode to use GPS position as opposed to VIO position.

If you run voxl-configure-px4-params -w and navigate to EKF2_helpers you should be able to see the relevant options.

@latif What do you see if you run voxl-check-calibration?

It sometimes takes a while to get a GPS lock for the first time in a new location, may have to let the drone sit outside for 5-10 minutes for the initial lock, will be much faster after that.

@latif You should be able to go into /var and see what's full and deleting it

@roy-crosthwaite see here: https://www.modalai.com/pages/rma

@tom It's possible /var/log/journal/ is full for some reason? You could try clearing stale logs from there

@latif /var being that full is very abnormal, here is a screenshot from one of my drones:

@latif oh boy, well that is certainly an issue, can you run sudo du -h -d 1 / 2>/dev/null | sort -h to see which directory/partition is full?

@latif I wonder if you have the wrong kernel on there. If you run voxl-configure-cameras what options does it give you?
