Is there an existing package to get ZMQ (c++ binding) available on the platform ?

Thank you!

I'm not aware of anything specifically for the VOXL 1 that would run right on the device other than compiling your own in one of the [VOXL docker images](https://docs.modalai.com/build-environments/).

You could try https://github.com/ASMfreaK/zeromq-openwrt since ZMQ is available for OpenWRT (which also uses the same package manager since it is based on Yocto Linux). ZMQ is fairly portable as well and should run under `aarch64`.

The other option is to run a bridge from any MPA/ROS topics to [ZMQ in a container](https://docs.modalai.com/docker-on-voxl/). 

If VOXL2, I would imagine it will work out of the box since that runs Ubuntu natively.

Thanks Steve,

I went to compile the source code with  the voxl emulator and it compiled without issues.
