I am having the exact same issue, if by any chance you see this @lakbit can you let me know if you found a solution since this thread?

@Eric-Katzfey Issue is mostly resolved. There were two main errors to fix. The first was that the cable that I was using needed to have its RX and TX wires swapped as Vinny pointed out. The second was that Docker Desktop needed to be uninstalled and replaced with only the core Docker CE Engine. After doing this, the HITL seems to be up and running on the alternate Linux computer I tested with. On the original computer, the "Serial port closed error" is no longer present although there does seem to be a graphics issue when attempting to run the Gazebo image with graphics.

@labkit it is part of the SDK but not installed on the kernel - on you voxl2 please run the following: sudo apt-get install voxl-ros2-foxy sudo apt-get install voxl-microdds-agent sudo apt-get install voxl-mpa-to-ros2 voxl-configure-mpa-to-ros2 Once this is done you should be ready to use ros2 by running source /opt/ros/foxy/setup.bash as well as export ROS_HOME=/opt/ros/foxy Hope this helps. Also ensure that for the voxl-configure-mpa-to-ros2 line you have an active internet connection on the voxl2 as this requires some pip installs. Thanks! Zach
