Review Actions

Old Business

• ROS PMC discussed giving Rob Woolley ability to approve OpenEmbedded updates to rosdistro (June 2) [In progress]

meta-ros status

• Syncs are outstanding for Humble, Jazzy, Kilted, and Lyrical
  • https://github.com/ros/meta-ros/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20%22New%20Packages%22
• Space ROS
  • Space ROS Jazzy 2026.04 has been merged into SGL: https://github.com/elisa-tech/meta-sgl/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed
  • SGL CI "world" builds are failing (like OOM killer)
  • BeagleV-Fire reference board, open to other boards
  • ELISA Aerospace WG looking to add Beaglebone Black support to SGL
• Automotive Grade Linux - Google Summer of Code
  • "ROS-Embedded LiDAR Perception in CARLA with AGL Visualization" https://shauryarane05.github.io/agl-gsoc-2026-blog/
  • Using Nvidia Orin Nano Super
• On-going
  • bitbake-setup
    • Alternative to kas available in Wrynose
    • Fixing JSON schemas to allow validating new configurations
    • Example here: https://github.com/robwoolley/meta-oeros/blob/master/conf/registry/configurations/oeros-master-rolling.conf.json
    • Pro: Provides ability to choose machines or profiles in a single configuration
    • Con: Lacks the built-in includes that kas configuration have (can be done with pre-processing instead)
  • Space ROS Jazzy 2026.04 for master
    • Space ROS uses the development git repositories instead of the GBP release repositories
    • Some changes to use CMake targets are present in the latter but not the former, resulting in buildpath QA errors in moveit2 and nav2
    • Fixes are generally applicable and can be ported to the moveit2 and nav2 packages in ROS

Backlog

[vermaete]

@robwoolley @yassine-cherni

If you could find some time for the question how to start with spaceROS with Yocto on a Beagleboard Fire-V?
I have a student in the summer to work on.
What's working, what's not yet working .... Those things...
