May I proceed with the build though it's stated at https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/rb5-flight/rb5-flight-px4-build-docker#rb5-flight-px4-build-docker
"Getting started
The build environment for PX4 on RB5 Flight is only supported on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)."Best wishes,

Here are the steps I followed to o download QualcommPackageManager.2.0.21.1.Linux-x86.deb:
1)https://developer.qualcomm.com/download/software- click on Hexagon SDK (https://developer.qualcomm.com/software/hexagon-dsp-sdk/tools)
3)Download Qualcomm Package Manager - Linux v2.0

-
@tahawaru We have only tested with Ubuntu 20.04. Should work on Ubuntu 22.04 but we don't know for sure.
-
@tahawaru The instructions say Hexagon SDK 4.x. Your picture shows Hexagon SDK 6.x highlighted. That is not correct. Please follow the instructions exactly.
-
-
@tahawaru Scroll down on the menu

@Eric-Katzfey
Thank you.
Now I'm here

After installing libssl1.1
-
@tahawaru I'm afraid I cannot help much with the Qualcomm Package Manager. It is really difficult to deal with. Sometimes it appears to be dead and I have to just let it sit for a long time before it finally responds. It is very frustrating to use it but there really isn't much that we can do about it. The good news is that once you finally get it to download the SDK you don't have to deal with it anymore. Sometimes is appears like it didn't do anything but did actually download what you need.
-
@tahawaru Take a look in /local/mnt/workspace. It may have placed the SDK there.

Thank you.
I got a few errors during the build(-- Detecting C compiler ABI info - failed
)
But it got to

Hopefully will be fine. -
We have deployed the newly build px4 into a Rb5 with the following configuration:
system-image: 1.7.1-M0052-14.1a-perf-nightly-20231025
kernel: #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Oct 26 05:24:02 UTC 2023 4.19.125hw version: M0052
voxl-suite: 1.1.2
Problem:
we have started the service voxl-px4 with the systemctl command but it stops running after a while.Questions: Why? Do we need some additional things to do for the new build to work?
Best wishes,
-
@tahawaru You need to start with a version of voxl-px4 that is compatible with the version of SDK you are using. So, if you are using SDK 1.1.2 then you will need to start with voxl-px4 1.14.0-2.0.63 and add your changes on top of that.
-
Where can we find such old version?
Our current voxl-px4 build output is voxl-px4_1.14.0-2.0.77_arm64.deb
Best wishes,
-
-
We have built the voxl-px4 using the link for voxl-px4 1.14.0-2.0.63 and the instructions.
At the end, we still have voxl-px4_1.14.0-2.0.77_arm64.deb, not voxl-px4_1.14.0-2.0.63_arm64.deb.What should we do differently?
Best wishes,
-
@tahawaru Somewhere along the line you didn't get the correct source code from git. What does
git logsay for the voxl-px4 repo? If you go into thepx4-firmwaresubdirectory (submodule), what does it show you forgit log? These basic git commands will help you determine what you have fetched and are actually building. -
this is the git log output:

@tahawaru Okay, that shows you have 1.14.0-2.0.78. If you want to build 1.14.0-2.0.63 then you need to check that version out instead.
