The portion running on the DSP hosts the flight critical portions of PX4 such as
the IMU, barometer, magnetometer, GPS, ESC, and power management drivers, and the
state estimation. The DSP acts as the real time portion of the system. Non flight

to cleanly shutdown PX4 on VOXL 2.

## Tips

Start with a VOXL 2 that only has the system image installed, not the SDK

Run the command ```voxl-px4 -s``` on target to run the self-test
Always use the latest SDK release

In order to see DSP specific debug messages the mini-dm tool in the Hexagon SDK
