Isaac ROS (release-3.2) requires JetPack 6.1, but my system is on 6.0 and cannot be upgraded. What can I do?

Hello,

I am currently using a Jetson Orin NX with JetPack 6.0. I want to use the latest version of Isaac ROS (release-3.2), but I noticed that it requires JetPack 6.1. Unfortunately, due to constraints in my development environment, I am unable to upgrade to JetPack 6.1 at this time.

I would like to ask for guidance on the following:

  1. Is it possible to run Isaac ROS release-3.2 on JetPack 6.0? If so, what adjustments or modifications are required?
  2. If running release-3.2 on JetPack 6.0 is not feasible, are there any alternative solutions, such as using an older version of Isaac ROS, or other workarounds?

Here are my system details:

  • Hardware: Jetson Orin NX
  • JetPack version: 6.0
  • Development requirement: The system cannot be upgraded at this time.

I greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions. Thank you for your help!

Hi @winton.hsu ,

Thank you for your post.

The system requirement for Isaac ROS 3.2 is JetPack 6.1.

If you have to stay with JetPack 6.0, please use Isaac ROS 3.1 which you can select version from bottom left in Isaac ROS Doc.

I am currently using IsaacROS version 3.1 and encountered an issue while running the VSLAM application.
I encountered the following error:

Hi @winton.hsu

For this issue, could you try following and re-start the docker?

cd ${ISAAC_ROS_WS}/src/isaac_ros_common && vim docker/Dockerfile.aarch64
# Switch all "release-3.0" to "legacy-release-3.1"

Please let me know if it helps.

I encountered an issue with the Dockerfile during the build process when attempting to download Boost 1.80.0 from the specified source. The current URL in the Dockerfile points to:

Hi @winton.hsu

It looks that link became unavailable today. I have forwarded this issue to our engineers.
I will keep you posted.

Hi @winton.hsu

The hotfixs are landed in github.
You can delete the isaac_ros_common folder and clone the source again.

cd ${ISAAC_ROS_WS}/src && rm -rf isaac_ros_common \
   git clone -b release-3.1 https://github.com/NVIDIA-ISAAC-ROS/isaac_ros_common.git isaac_ros_common
