Hi! Problem: Raspberry Pi4 4GB with OS 20.04. Not install Slam-Toolbox with sudo apt ros-noetic-slam-toolbox. Why?

Thanks! Carlo

This may seem like a simple question, but have you tried sudo apt install ros-noetic-slam-toolbox? The word install is missing in the above question snippet

Thanks for the reply!

Tried sudo apt install ros-noetic-slam-toolbox, but same result: it doesn't find the installation package!

Please add additional information either as a comment, or by editing your question.

No, sorry...

That package is available for Ubuntu Focal on ARMv8, but whether you can install it using apt would depend on whether you've used apt to install ROS Noetic itself.

Did you use apt to install ROS Noetic, or did you build from source in a Catkin workspace?

I use apt for install ROS Noetic. It is better to redo the whole installation (Ubuntu 20.04 + ROS + SLAM-Toolbox)?

Please show the verbatim output of sudo apt install ros-noetic-slam-toolbox. Do not paraphrase errors / output messages.

Raspberry Pi4 4GB with OS 20.04

We apparently all assumed 20.04 meant Ubuntu (which it typically does).

You are however running Raspbian, which is based on Debian Buster:

Distributor ID: Raspbian
Description: Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)
Release: 10
Codename: buster

That's not 20.04, nor Ubuntu.

Debian Buster only gets packages for ARMv8, but on that platform, according to status_page/ros_noetic_dbv8.html?q=toolb, ros-noetic-slam-toolbox is intentionally not available.

There are no binary packages available for Debian Buster ARMhf (v7, hard-float) at all, therefore, you cannot install slam_toolbox using apt.

Note: it is available for ARMhf for Ubuntu Focal: status_page/ros_noetic_ufhf.html?q=toolb. But that would require you to reinstall your OS.

Edit: I'm rather confused by your statement:

I use apt for install ROS Noetic.

and:

Linux raspberrypi 5.10.103-v7l+ #1529 SMP Tue Mar 8 12:24:00 GMT 2022 armv7l GNU/Linux

Afaict, this would be impossible. Only ARMv8 gets binary packages on Debian Buster.

Edit 2: did you perhaps install ROS using the wiki/UpstreamPackages? If so, please read that page and be aware of the limitations/impact.

Just to answer a potential future question. If you do want to use slam_toolbox you could use a laptop and run it on there, connecting both laptop and raspberry to the same network and configure them to discover each other.

Sorry ... which SLAM do you recommend for Raspbian, which is based on Debian Buster?

Both gmapping and hector_slam seem to be available.
