I am trying to simulate the VOA behaviour from voxl-vision-hub on my laptop which is based on the x86_64 architecture and running Ubuntu 22.04. I extracted some of the code from the Gitlab, but realised that there are dependencies on libraries such as libmodalcv and librc-math. 

However, I am unable to import the .so files to my project as they are built for aarch64 (arm64).

I tried to download the source code online to recompile it myself but I am unable to find the code for libmodalcv. For librc-math, I am also unable to compile it myself (see screenshot).

Can the packages compiled for x86_64 be made available? This would be very helpful to simulate multi-drone behaviour in SITL before deploying on hardware.

@kerct I managed to compile librc-math by writing my own cmakelist. Can we either get the code for libmodalcv and voxl_common_config (I can't find them on gitlab), or the libraries built for x86_64?

@kerct libmodalcv is an abstraction layer to some proprietary Qualcomm code that runs on the Computer Vision DSP. There isn't an x86 equivalent

@Moderator Besides extracting out the libraries and running them on an ARM based computer, how else can we simulate VOXL's behaviour? From what I understand for HITL, we are only interfacing with voxl-px4 but not other services like voxl-vision-hub.
