microROS installation received the following error message alert box

'colcon build' failed(rmw_implementation + 3)
/home/ubuntu/microros_ws/firmware/mcu_ws

I am following this 'Connect ESP32 to ROS2' below , I actually have galactic ROS2 in my Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS host.

https://medium.com/@SameerT009/connec...

After Step 5. Build firmware

Nothing to add. Just Copy and Paste. It takes a white to complete.

$ ros2 run micro_ros_setup build_firmware.sh

I get the error alert message **'colcon build' failed(rmw_implementation + 3)

/home/ubuntu/microros_ws/firmware/mcu_ws**

and the below details in the terminal:: Please Help. Thank you. I have done source

source /opt/ros/galactic/setup.bash

$ `cmake --version`
cmake version 3.16.3

CMake suite maintained and supported by Kitware (kitware.com/cmake).

export RMW_IMPLEMENTATION=rmw_microxrcedds# Thank you @Pablogs and @gvdhoorn # Then starting from the beginning of $colcon build, help me resolve this # Steps: https://medium.com/@achyutros/ros-2-m...

As mentioned in #q412461 by @Pablogs, micro-ROS does not support Cyclone.

Seeing as you write you are using Galactic -- which uses rmw_cyclonedds_cpp by default -- the error is "expected".

The CMake logic in rmw_implementation is trying to see which RMW to build for, sees the RMW_IMPLEMENTATION environment variable set to rmw_cyclonedds_cpp (default for Galactic) and then tries to make that the standard for micro-ROS as well.

As that's not supported, the error message is printed.

The article you link documents/uses Foxy, which uses Fast-RTPS. micro-ROS does support Fast-RTPS, hence why it works there.

If you really want/need to keep using Galactic (note: it is end-of-life since December 2022), you could try installing ros-galactic-rmw-fastrtps-cpp, export RMW_IMPLEMENTATION=rmw_fastrtps_cpp in the terminal you'll use to build everything, stopping the ROS 2 daemon (for good measure: ros2 daemon stop), clearing out your micro-ROS workspace and then attempt the build again.

Note: to use micro-ROS, you will have to repeat the export RMW_IMPLEMENTATION=rmw_fastrtps_cpp for all terminals you will be starting ROS 2 / micro-ROS nodes in. You might want to add it to your .bashrc or similar file.

Thank you @Pablogs and @gvdhoorn . I am Still getting the error after installing using/export rmw_fastrtps_cpp

Apologies. Where I wrote rmw_fastrtps_cpp that should've been rmw_microxrcedds, but what I don't really understand is why you have to set that manually. I don't recall to have done that.
