There are currently four versions of ROS2. However I don't understand which version is explicitly for Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) on the Jetson TX2. Am I able to use ros-kinetic in conjunction with one of the ROS2 releases? Where is the documentation regarding installation of ros2 on a tx2?
Update: I've found a link to installing ROS2, which is below: https://index.ros.org/doc/ros2/Instal...
Ros2 crystal is the last release to officially support Ubuntu 16.04. If you use crystal, you'll have to build it from source (hence tier 2 support) to work on the TX2.
You can run ros kinetic along-side ros2, but for them to talk to each other at all, you'll have to use the ros1-bridge. That'll let you bridge ros1->ros2 and ros2->ros1.

Slightly pedantic, but just curious: what makes you expect there is documentation available for this particular combination?
I found documentation installing ROS1 (kinetic, groovy, etc.) on a jetson tx1 or tx2. Also there are several youtube videos showing proper installation of ROS. However, I haven't found as much information on ROS2.
All of that is community contributed. Probably personal, but since you wrote "where is the documentation" I understood that as meaning: "where is the official documentation".
for future readers: you can find the supported processor architectures and operating systems and if there are prebuild packages for the combination for each ROS2 version under this link: https://www.ros.org/reps/rep-2000.html
