Hi!
I like the Idea, but I really wonder, and that extends also to the list of ROS Robotics Companies, is, how are you to deploy ROS2 in a product, either RPU or any other board for that purpose (especially when not x86 based). Installing ubuntu on some development board does not cut it – to me at least. There is no way around a proper embedded linux, hence buildroot or openembedded, which enables you to:
- Use an optimized, possibly PREEMPT_RT kernel
- Create a SBOM and manage licensing somewhat decent
- Create Updates that are atomic
- Are not relying on other companies supporting your hardware with prebuild binaries / packages.
- Remove stuff that is not needed
- Optimize on the platform used
- Downsize of cost optimization
- …
LG no longer updates meta-ros, and I really wonder why it seems nobody really cares…
Regards,
Matthias
