VOXL 2 SDK 1.8.0 ROS2 missing

[DavidTorres]

Hi @ModalAI-Team

After upgrading a VOXL 2 (M0054) from SDK 1.6 to 1.8.0, apt-get install voxl-ros2-foxy returns "Unable to locate package" and /opt/ros/foxy is gone. My sources point at dists/qrb5165/sdk-1.8/binary-arm64/, which updated today. apt-cache search ros2 only returns voxl-microdds-agent, and voxl-mpa-to-ros2 is also missing from the repo and from /data/voxl-suite-offline-packages.

Questions:

1. Was voxl-ros2-foxy removed from 1.8, or is it renamed or delayed?
2. Is there a release date for a 1.8-compatible Foxy package that includes voxl-mpa-to-ros2?
3. Until then, what's the supported way to run Foxy on 1.8 with MPA-to-ROS2, microDDS to PX4 1.18, and no Docker?

Thanks,

Hi @davidtorresm,

I dont believe ros2 foxy nor mpa-to-ros2 was included in the 1.8 release - please run the following to pull down the packages individually:

wget http://voxl-packages.modalai.com/dists/qrb5165/dev/binary-arm64/voxl-mpa-to-ros2_0.1.0-202610080956_arm64.deb

wget http://voxl-packages.modalai.com/dists/qrb5165/dev/binary-arm64/voxl-ros2-foxy_0.0.1-202511141235_arm64.deb

Obvioulsy you will need internet to leverage the wget- but once those are pulled - feel free to just run sudo dpkg -i on both those packages followed by a voxl-configure-mpa-to-ros2
