Possible to upgrade from 18.04 to 22.04
-
I'm planning on buying a couple of Sentinel dev drones, but I'm worried about its Ubuntu version, especially for PX4. Does the Sentinel 2 come with Ubuntu 22.04 out of the box? If not, which version of Ubuntu do you all currently ship?
Concerned mainly about versioning, and we have a 24 month prototype cycle for an upcoming project.
If Sentinel 2 comes with Ubuntu 20.04, is it possible to upgrade it to Ubuntu 22.04 easily? Will it break any of your VOXL2 scripts/API?

Hi @Slade-Villena , currently it's 18.04.
Next on the roadmap is 20.04, but generally it's not upgradeable in our experience (e.g. I don't believe you can currently go 18 -> 20 without first us generating a full system image).
Upgrades are on our roadmap but I don't have firm dates at this point unfortunately, so it's safe to say expect 18.04 for the time being.

hardware + maintenance updates end on APR 2023 for Ubuntu 18.04. At least the security updates last until 2028, but its still a concern.
Would it be possible to collaborate + coordinate with you all on an Ubuntu 20.04 or 22.04 build? Hyper-critical for an upcoming project, since we have a very long development cycle (most likely 2 - 4 years), and we really want to use Modal AI dev drones.
Should we take this to emails? Please contact me : slade @ roguestar . ai if emails would be more appropriate for this topic.
