Recommendation regarding Jetson TX2 production usage of ROS2
Hi, We are a number of developers who are developing in ROS and we are about to move to ROS2, now we are debating about the configuration we will work with - Foxy or Eloquent: Our dilemmas are as follows
We are working on Jetson TX2 - according to NVIDIA there is no official version of Ubuntu 20.04 that is expected to be released soon - which means we can only use Ubuntu 18.04 -> only eloquent(or foxy on docker).
We are interested in working with the newest and most stable version available.
We are working with Intel realsense which has not yet released an official version that supports Foxy.
We tried to work with foxy in Docker but it seems that for long term development it is not suitable because working with visualization is very complicated and also the work for a number of developers and a large number of ROS nodes is also not suitable for this.
I would love to get a recommendation on what in your opinion would be the best decision for us in this case.
- We know that eloquent is EOL, but don't really understand what could be the long-term consequences?
Similar to other software/products which go end-of-life:
etc, etc.
Thanks @gvdhoorn, So what is your recommendation given the constraints I have presented?
Nothing (yet), as I don't know what this means:
What does "is not suitable for this" mean?
And anecdotal, but UI applications can be used with Docker, it's just slightly more involved.
