How to install ROS2 foxy in a custom arm64 Linux based in Yocto? (Petalinux)
Hi, I am working in a custom Linux project based on Petalinux, which is a Xilinx Linux distro built from Yocto (which uses OpenEmbedded), I could install ubuntu 20.04 LTS arm64 in this custom project but now I would like to install ROS2 foxy
As I have ubuntu 20.04 my first attempt was this: https://docs.ros.org/en/foxy/Installa...
but it failed, when tried with ros-foxy-desktop or ros-foxy-ros-base the packages was not found, when I tried this in my Linux pc with ubuntu 20.04 everything was ok, so I found this: https://www.ros.org/reps/rep-2000.htm... where you explain that for an OpenEmbedded Linux I must use the sources to install ros2 foxy
second attempt: building from sources https://docs.ros.org/en/foxy/Installa...
but also failed, when building the project I have an error with this package: mimick_vendor, the package could not be installed and then I got a lot of errors
but then inside the previous link I saw this:
Oher Linux platforms with varying support levels include:
Arch Linux, see alternate instructions
Fedora Linux, see alternate instructions
OpenEmbedded / webOS OSE, see alternate instructions
so, those are the instructions I should follow? https://github.com/ros/meta-ros/wiki/...
or as I have Ubuntu 20.04 I should try to resolve the error in my second attempt?
And, could be this a way to avoid the installation of ros2 in my target board? https://docs.ros.org/en/foxy/How-To-G... as I understand with this option I could deploy and test my ros2 app in my pc and then build it to use it in my embedded Linux, but I don´t know if this is the correct case to use this tool
thanks
