ros2 bare-bones packages for arm

For crystal, what are the bare bones packages needed for ROS2? I am looking to get a bare bones ROS2 on a docker image. Many of the approaches I've tried so far have failed and I have yet to fined a good marriage of Jessie and ROS2 for our builds. Sadly, cross compile toolchains like https://github.com/esteve/ros2_raspbian_tools and https://github.com/ros2-for-arm/ros2/wiki/ROS2-on-arm-architecture are broken and I have begun the arduous process of re-creating the process from scratch for crystal on arm64 images using docker.

Sadly, cross compile toolchains lik [..] are broken [..]

I've just checked those repositories and couldn't find an issue reporting that. Have you considered notifying the authors? Especially ros2-for-arm, as it's backed/supported by ARM themselves.

I have begun the arduous process of re-creating the process from scratch for crystal on arm64 images using docker.

you're free to do that of course, but I'd recommend to try and see whether you can get some support from the authors of the repositories you found first.

Checkout this post; you could swap out the FROM for Debian base images if you use the referenced Dockerfiles: https://discourse.ros.org/t/official-docker-images-for-ros2-crystal-and-arm32v7/6872
