"ELF: not found error" running "micro_ros_setup build_firmware.sh" for nucleo_f767zi on Raspberry Pi

[danielallstar]

Issue template

• Hardware description: Raspberry Pi 4B 4gb (with BCM2711 soc) running Ubuntu server 22.04 (LTS) 64-bit
• RTOS: Free RTOS
• Installation type: ping pong example on nucleo_f767zi on ROS2 Humble latest release
• Version or commit hash: (default) humble

Steps to reproduce the issue

I followed the tutorial steps specified on the following page [https://micro.ros.org/docs/tutorials/core/first_application_rtos/freertos/]

I adjusted the line "ros2 run micro_ros_setup create_firmware_ws.sh freertos olimex-stm32-e407" into "ros2 run micro_ros_setup create_firmware_ws.sh freertos nucleo_f767zi"

After that I entered the command "ros2 run micro_ros_setup configure_firmware.sh ping_pong --transport serial" according to the tutorial.

Errors occur at the buildstep "ros2 run micro_ros_setup build_firmware.sh"

Expected behavior

I expected that the build would happen without any problems. I followed the exact same steps within a docker container on my PC with an amd chipset without any problems. At the moment I try it on the arm infrastructure it does not work. I tried it in a docker image and with a local installation of ROS2.

Actual behavior

The following output is created showing an "ELF: not found" error:

The recommended way of integrating micro-ROS into STM32 devices is https://github.com/micro-ROS/micro_ros_stm32cubemx_utils.

We will take a look at this issue.

Did you not have any issues running ros2 run micro_ros_setup create_firmware_ws.sh freertos <platform> command on your raspberry pi 4?

No, I did not have any issues running that command. Looking at your previous post it looks like you are using an ESP32, so a different target board as the one I am using.

The error message "ERROR: tool xtensa-esp32-elf does not have versions compatible with platform linux-arm64" seems to indicate no support for linux-arm64 for ESP32.
