Hi I am using ROS kinetic on a raspberry pi 3 (with Raspbian Buster). To install ROS on the raspberry I used this tutorial and everything was running fine.

Now I want to create a program and use SMACH, but it is not installed on my raspberry. I tried to sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-smach but its not able to locate it. Any ideas on how to install smach on the raspberry ?

Thanks

If you check the Jenkins jobs tab on the smach docs under kinetic you'll notice a binary for buster is missing, meaning you won't find it as an apt package. Is there a reason you're still working with Kinetic? You should see the binaries exist for Noetic. I'd recommend upgrading your ROS distro, if for nothing else than in anticipation of Kinetic reaching EOL in a few months. I have smash (as a dependency of flexbe) working in a docker container using Noetic on a RPi4. So it's possible, but you may need to do some major changes

Or, if you are set on kinetic for whatever reason, you could try building smach from source. Just create a catkin_ws/src in your home directory and clone the above repo into it. You should then be able to use catkin build to make smach.
