Alto does nothing but blink 10 times every 25s

Hello, we're putting together Alto for a machine learning video and are encountering some difficulty. We're using the provided image, flashed with Balena, and Alto appears to set up fine when used with a monitor and keyboard. But when run independently with the electronics, mostly all it does is sit with the LED off, and blink 10x at about 0.5s spacing every 25s. It does not respond to any input when in this state.

I say mostly because it seems to have entered proper operation a couple times, sporadically - the light will suddenly hold steady green, and you can train it on one object as expected with one of the servos gradually increasing, etc. However, it will then turn back off, and won't be responsive to any form of input after that.

I'm not sure what could be causing this looking at the main alto code - I see it does have a 10x repeat error blink condition, but it should be blinking multiple times to indicate a specific error, not just once. The whole thing seems a bit fishy so any help would be appreciated.
