VOXL Supporting Software
This page is deprecated
Please see VOXL-SDK for our current software bundle.
Overview
VOXL’s software stack is broken up into 3 parts, each with their own version and ability to upgrade independently or all together.
- VOXL System Image: This includes the root file system and bootloader partitions. It is only necessary to update the system image to add new hardware driver support.
- VOXL Factory Bundle: This contains proprietary and 3rd party software packages (updated infrequently).
- voxl-suite: precompiled packages of ModalAI-developed open-source software (updated regularly)
The System Image and Factory Bundle are available at https://developer.modalai.com/asset. The voxl-suite package uses an OPKG package manager and is hosted here. The installer at the link below will offer to install the voxl-suite for you as the last step.
All three packages are loaded on VOXL boards at the factory but can be updated by the user at any time using the instructions in VOXL Quickstarts.
voxl-suite
The voxl-suite packages are described and maintained here.
