Voxl2 PID building and deployment on RB5

[Eric Katzfey]

@tahawaru Take a look in /local/mnt/workspace. It may have placed the SDK there.

@Eric-Katzfey

Thank you.

I got a few errors during the build(-- Detecting C compiler ABI info - failed
)
But it got to
*** End of qurt slpi build ***
/usr/local/workspace
User ID is 1000
Group ID is 1000
*** End of build ***

and
root@27a3c2a4a155:/usr/local/workspace# ./make_package.sh
Package Name: voxl-px4
version Number: 1.14.0-2.0.77
starting building Debian Package
dpkg-deb: building package 'voxl-px4' in 'voxl-px4_1.14.0-2.0.77_arm64.deb'.
DONE
root@27a3c2a4a155:/usr/local/workspace#

I haven't tested the new build yet.
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 4.19.125

hw 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,

[Eric Katzfey]

@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.

[tahawaru]

@Eric-Katzfey

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,

[Eric Katzfey]

@tahawaru https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/services/voxl-px4/-/tags/v1.14.0-2.0.63

[tahawaru]

@Eric-Katzfey

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,

[Eric Katzfey]

@tahawaru Somewhere along the line you didn't get the correct source code from git. What does git log say for the voxl-px4 repo? If you go into the px4-firmware subdirectory (submodule), what does it show you for git log? These basic git commands will help you determine what you have fetched and are actually building.

@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.
