Extending meta-ros with ros2 + openembedded (yocto)

Hi @zarmomin,

Sorry for the delayed response. I missed this while getting ready for ROSCon.

There is a brand new tool that I created that will discover packages in a colcon workspace and write Bitbake recipes based on the package.xml files and the git repository information.

So far, I have used it to create and build recipes for Space ROS Jazzy (~ 220 packages). Your use case is something I want to support, so I would be interested in helping you try it out.

I’m just catching up from everything I missed while in Singapore. Feel free to reach out to me here on Discourse or on Discord or Zulip. There is a Community Groups > OpenEmbedded category that you may use. Our next ROS OpenEmbedded Community Group meeting is also on Monday: ROS OpenEmbedded Community Group - Meeting #44: 2025/11/10 @ 4pm UTC - Community Groups / OpenEmbedded - Open Robotics Discourse

Regards,
Rob
