Unable to Install ROS 2 on BlueOS 1.3.1: Compatibility Issue

Blue Robotics Software BlueOS
1

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working with BlueOS version 1.3.1, and I want to install ROS 2 on my system. However, whenever I try to install it, I encounter an error message stating that this version of ROS 2 is not compatible with the current machine running BlueOS.

Here are a few details about my setup:

  • BlueOS version: 1.3.1
  • Hardware: Raspberry Pi 4

Has anyone else encountered this issue? Is there a workaround to get ROS 2 running on BlueOS 1.3.1, or do I need to switch to a different version of BlueOS or ROS 2?

Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Bibxi123 -
How did you install BlueOS? The standard 1.3.1 image should be compatible, maybe you grabbed the 64 bit? Or installed on top of an existing OS?

Thanks for the quick reply @tony-white
Yes Standard image.
I downloaded blueos_raspberry.zip and flash it.

Hi @Bibxi123 -
It turns out that extension is only compatible with 64bit BlueOS, which is not (yet) the standard version. You could flash that version, and give it a try, but you may run into other issues due to the 64 bit platform, such as wifi connectivity.
