Before doing this, i have installed librealsense and ROS buildLibrealsense2TX: https://github.com/jetsonhacks/buildLibrealsense2TX ROS: https://github.com/jetsonhacks/installROSTX2

so anyone know how to fix it ??

[jetsonhacks]

When did you install ROS? They changed the GPG key recently, which kind of upsets everything.

[jerryt3204]

Thanks for your reply @jetsonhacks I know that ROS GPG issue, and i installed ROS on my TX2 yesterday.

Hello there, I got the same problem on a Jetson TX1. Is there a workaround? Cheers

[HeinzBenjamin]

Hi again,

first of all thanks for the great scripts and tutorials on Youtube @jetsonhacks ! I ran into the same issue described above but with a Jetson TX1 flashed with Jetpack 3.3

For anyone with the same problem, here's how I made it work: I found @jerryt3204 's other thread on the issue here: https://github.com/IntelRealSense/librealsense/issues/4295

But that didn't work out of the box because of the newer Jetpack version and because building realsense-ros from source expects a newer version of librealsense. So the steps are (following the YT tutorial with some adaptions):

mkdir jetsonhacks
cd jetsonhacks
git clone https://github.com/jetsonhacks/buildLibrealsense2TX
cd buildLibrealsense2TX
nano buildPatchedKernel.sh

In this file, in the top there is LIBREALSENSE_VERSION=v2.13.0 change that to LIBREALSENSE_VERION=v.2.24.0

Furthermore if you go down, the script checks for the L4T version

....
if [ $JETSON_BOARD == "TX1" ] ; then 
 L4TTarget="28.2"
 if [ $JETSON_L4T = "28.2" ] ; then
    KERNEL_BUILD_VERSION=v1.0-L4T28.2
 ....

change JETSON_L4T = "28.2" to JETSON_L4T = "28.2.0"

otherwise the script will throw an error as it expects Jetpack versions 3.2 or lower. Safe, close and run the file with

./buildPatchedKernel.sh

then open and modify the second script:

nano ./installLibrealsense.sh

also change the LIBREALSENSE_VERSION from v2.13.0 to v2.24.0 safe, close, run the script with

./installLibrealsense.sh

Then install ROS normally with the jetsonhacks script:

git clone https://github.com/jetsonhacks/installROSTX1
cd installROSTX1
./installROS.sh -p ros-kinetic-desktop
./setupCatkinWorkspace.sh
echo "source ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

Last, you'll have to clone realsense-ros, install its dependencies and then install the package itself

cd ~/catkin_ws/src
rosdep update
git clone https://github.com/IntelRealSense/realsense-ros
cd ..
sudo rosdep -y install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro kinetic
source ~/.bashrc
catkin_make install

Then you should be able to run the example launch file roslaunch realsense2_camera rs_camera.launch

Thanks again @jetsonhacks Cheers

[jetsonhacks]

Excellent work! It's unclear on how to maintain this. With all of the changes between the Jetson and librealsense releases, everything seems to change (and break) every few weeks.

[HeinzBenjamin]

Totally understandable! Your scripts are super useful though. Thanks

[Weixin-Ma]

Hello guys,

At the first, I want to thank the solutions provided by @jetsonhacks and @HeinzBenjamin . Thanks for your excellent work!

OS: Ubuntu 16.04 platform: Nvidia Jetson TX2 with Jetpack3.2.1 camera: realsense d435 And I have ran the camera Realsense D435 successfully abut 3 weeks ago with the solution provided by HeinzBenjamin. But I reset the TX2 few days ago and I tried to run the same camera on TX2. And I found that the official of Realsense just updated the new version :Realsense SDK v2.25.0. So I fork the old version v2.24.0 to my github and change the website in the buildPatchedKernel.sh as well as installLibrealsense.sh. But when I run the command: "./installLibrealsense.sh" there were some problems as follow :

`[ 93%] Building CXX object tools/depth-quality/CMakeFiles/rs-depth-quality.dir///common/fw-update-helper.cpp.o /home/nvidia/librealsense/common/fw-update-helper.cpp:15:37: fatal error: common/fw/D4XX_FW_Image.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. tools/depth-quality/CMakeFiles/rs-depth-quality.dir/build.make:166: recipe for target 'tools/depth-quality/CMakeFiles/rs-depth-quality.dir///common/fw-update-helper.cpp.o' failed make[2]: *** [tools/depth-quality/CMakeFiles/rs-depth-quality.dir///common/fw-update-helper.cpp.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Thank you Weixin

[jetsonhacks]

@Weixin-Ma You probably have an issue downloading the RealSense firmware. Intel now includes the firmware in librealsense2, but the firmware itself is stored in a different location than Github. Check your CMake output to see if it is able to connect to the server with the firmware.

[Weixin-Ma]

Thank you for your reply! @jetsonhacks Can I just download the firmware by myself？ I found a method to update the firwmare of Realsense as follow: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/emerging-technologies/intel-realsense-technology/Linux-RealSense-D400-DFU-Guide.pdf Or may just use cmake to build from source？

Thank you Weixin
