Summary

What is it?

A platform release consists of a system image and a release of the VOXL SDK.

Do I need to install it?

If you have a VOXL 2, it comes pre-installed so there’s nothing to do unless you are looking to install a newer version.

We will ship updates periodically, and you can follow the update procedure below to get those updates.

Please note, the VOXL SDK is where most of the updates take place that you will be interested in. Most SDK updates will not require a system image update, and so most can be gotten by running apt update and apt upgrade on the device when connected to the internet.

If you are having problems with your system, please ask questions on the forum before reflashing the system image.

Where To Download

Platform releases can be found on our Protected Downloads Page

Procedure

NOTE: The following commands are all ran on the host computer, not on VOXL 2.

• Unzip the download, in this example we’ll assume the download name was voxl2_platform_M.m.b-X.x.tar.gz where M.m.b is the version of the System Image, and X.x is the version of the VOXL SDK / VOXL Suite

❯ tar -xvf voxl2_platform_M.m.b-X.x.tar.gz

• Get ready to run the script by going into the directory you just unzipped

❯ cd voxl2_platform_M.m.b-X.x

• Run the following:

./install.sh

• If everything flashed successfully, you should see a message at the end showing how to configure the drone:
