Hi,
from both official documents and screen prints when launching, it seems that in v5.0.0 the CycloneDDS support is only for Humble and not for Jazzy?
If so, is there any plan to add this support?
5.0.0
Ubuntu 24.04
Thanks for reaching out about CycloneDDS support for ROS2 Jazzy in Isaac Sim 5.0.0.
To help us understand the situation better and provide the most accurate information, could you please provide:
Specific references to the official documents you mentioned that indicate CycloneDDS support in v5.0.0 is only for ROS2 Humble? Providing links or quoting the relevant sections would be very helpful.
The exact messages or errors you see when launching Isaac Sim that suggest CycloneDDS isn’t supported for Jazzy. Please copy and paste the full output from your terminal if possible.
This information will help us investigate and confirm the current state of support and any plans for Jazzy.
Sure.
The reference to the official document: ROS 2 Installation — Isaac Sim Documentation
"Isaac Sim supports Cyclone DDS middleware for Linux, ROS 2 Humble. "
Also when i launch the local build from source, i see these messages:

Despite the error regarding loading the pybind11, because i am using a ROS-JAZZY container with default Python 3.12 while 5.0.0 uses 3.11, the messages related to DDS are clearly saying ROS2 HUmble only.
The documentation issue and messages have been addressed. The repo has been updated to RC.35. Please try with a fresh checkout for this and if you still see the messages, please ignore them. Thanks.
thank you for the reply and the update. So as conclusion, the CycloneDDS is INCLUDED in the ROS Jazzy Support, am i right?
Yes, that’s correct, CycloneDDS support is now included with ROS Jazzy. Please try with a fresh checkout.
