Failing to start autoware auto on NVidia Jetson Xavier

I followed the installation instructions for Autoware.auto found in this link: https://autowarefoundation.gitlab.io/... but I am encountering an error when I run ade start. My terminal shows

nvidia@matt-xavier:~/m2/adehome/AutowareAuto$ ade start
Starting ade with the following images:
ade          | n/a     | master | registry.gitlab.com/autowarefoundation/autoware.auto/autowareauto/ade:master
ade-atom     | v1.39.1 | latest | registry.gitlab.com/apexai/ade-atom:latest                                  
autowareauto | n/a     | master | registry.gitlab.com/autowarefoundation/autoware.auto/autowareauto:master    
ade_registry.gitlab.com_apexai_ade-atom_latest
ade_registry.gitlab.com_autowarefoundation_autoware.auto_autowareauto_master
non-network local connections being added to access control list
standard_init_linux.go:211: exec user process caused "exec format error"
ERROR: Failed to start ade. Re-run with --debug to get more information.

Of course when I run ade --debug, I get Error: no such option: --debug. How do I resolve this problem?

I am using a NVidia Jetson AGX Xavier flashed with JetPack 4.2.2 (so Ubuntu 18.04 bionic). I did not explicitly install any version of ROS 2, since I assumed that was part of the docker image in ADE (and no part of the installation instructions told me to explicitly install ROS 2). I have ROS melodic installed, if that's relevant.

@blarghflargle that looks like a compatibility issue with the ade image, since your board is Arm based and looks like the ade image is compiled for amd64 architectures. You can try building it natively

Thank you for your response! How did you find that the ade image is compiled for amd64? And how do I build it natively?

This is correct. The Docker containers for ade are currently not compiled natively for arm64, only for amd64 which means they can not be run on an ARM-based processor like the Jetson.

@sgermanserrano @Maximus5684 How would I go about building the docker image for ARMv8?

@blarghflargle you'll need to put together a Dockerfile based on ROS Dashing and Melodic, since .auto depends on the ros1_bridge, clone the .auto repo and colcon build it. Or, you can pull this .auto docker image I put together to use in 96Boards hardware which is also arm64 based

thanks @sgermanserrano ! How do I actually make use of the .auto docker image you put together? do I put registry.hub.docker.com/96boards/autoware:auto in the .aderc?

@blarghflargle you should be able to follow the steps here for your hardware

I know this post is a little old but I wanted to provide an update that arm64-native ADE images are now available! On Jetson Xavier (or other native arm64 platforms), all you should have to do to test them is source the .aderc-arm64 file in the root of the AutowareAuto repo before running ade start.

Clarification: Nvidia Jetson is not an officially supported platform at this time. The arm64 images "should" work but are not guaranteed to work on Nvidia Jetson.
