ROS 2 Support Policy
LGDXRobot aims to support ROS 2 LTS releases by providing packages in multiple formats. The latest supported LTS release is fully tested and receives new features. For older LTS releases, LGDXRobot continues to distribute software in a support only mode until the ROS release reaches its end of life (EOL). Only Ubuntu is supported, and it can run on either AMD64 or ARM64 architectures.
Prerequisites and Recommendations
Ubuntu 24.04 with ROS 2 Jazzy is the recommended platform. Older releases may be compatible, but they are not actively tested.
