VOXL Flight Enables the Smallest Autonomous Drones

Note: the VOXL (blue variant) may be on back-order, the VOXL "legacy" variant of this same board and VOXL Flight, which includes an MCU, are bot available now

VOXL is a companion computer that pairs with Flight Core or Pixhawk® flight controller for obstacle avoidance and GPS-denied (indoor) navigation. 

The VOXL advances the Snapdragon Flight and Qualcomm Flight Pro architectures to have great support for:

  • PX4 Avoidance and Navigation
  • ROS  / ROS2 / MAVROS / MAVSDK
  • Open source Linux kernel, cross-compilers, PX4, ROS, OpenCV
  • Docker build environment for CPU, GPU (OpenCL) and DSP (Hexagon SDK) heterogeneous computer vision and deep learning processing.
  • Run Docker on VOXL target for improved portability and maintenance.
  • Add cellular LTE connectivity for beyond visual line of sight (add-on).

Ready to Use Development Tools

Software Features:

  • Open source Linux kernel, cross-compilers, PX4, ROS, OpenCV
  • Docker build environment for CPU, GPU (OpenCL) and DSP (Hexagon SDK) heterogeneous computer vision and deep learning processing.
  • Run Docker on VOXL target for improved portability and maintenance.
  • Add cellular LTE connectivity for beyond visual line of sight (add-on).

VOXL Specifications and Datasheet

  • Snapdragon 821: Quad-core up to 2.15GHz, GPU, 2xDSP, Linux
  • Video support: 3x MIPI cameras, UVC 
  • Machine vision support: time synchronized IMU and cameras
  • Additional I/O: WiFi, SPI, I2C, UART, GPIO
  • Light weight, powerful, SWAP-optimized computing:
    • PCB weight 18g
    • Power Adapter weight 13g
    • Cameras (6g)
    • Power consumption 3-10W 

Datasheet

In this kit:

  • MKIT-00001 - VOXL Core Board Kit ("Blue board", marked M0006)
  • MKIT-00002 - VOXL Power Adapter Kit
  • MKIT-00003 - VOXL Wi-Fi Antenna Kit

Note: The "new" kit contains M0006 Blue VOXL boards which include a new IMU (ICM20948) as the IMU. The "legacy" kit contains HA942 Green VOXL boards, which includes an EOL MPU9250. The "legacy" kit is identical to Qualcomm Flight Pro.
