Multi architecture cross compilable Isaac ROS for x86 and NVIDIA Jetson with Jetpack 5+

To build these NVIDIA Docker you can choose one of these options:

1. Desktop
   • NVIDIA Graphic card
2. NVIDIA Jetson
   • Xavier or Orin series
   • NVIDIA Jetpack 5+

All images are based with:

Images:

Name	AMD64	ARM64	Note	Build Time
rbonghi/isaac_ros_base:humble-core-devel			Minimal packages ros-core and all main package for vision compiled with CUDA	16000s (L4T 35.1) 15000s (L4T 35.2)
rbonghi/isaac_ros_base:humble-base-devel				16000s (L4T 35.1) 16000s (L4T 35.2)
rbonghi/isaac_ros_base:gems-devel			Isaac ROS argus camera is available only on ARM64 platform
rbonghi/isaac_ros_base:isaac-runtime	Soon	Soon

Example to build Isaac ROS packages multi-platform

cd example
docker build -t isaac-ros-base/packages:latest -f Dockerfile.isaac .

There are two ways to use this repository, build locally the isaac_ros_base images or use in CI, but you need to install a local runner on your desktop with NVIDIA graphic card.

To enable access to the CUDA compiler (nvcc) during docker build operations, add "default-runtime": "nvidia" to your /etc/docker/daemon.json configuration file before attempting to build the containers:

{
    "runtimes": {
        "nvidia": {
            "path": "nvidia-container-runtime",
            "runtimeArgs": []
        }
    },
    "default-runtime": "nvidia"
}

You will then want to restart the Docker service or reboot your system before proceeding.

sudo systemctl restart docker.service

Add your user on your docker group

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

Logout and login on your session.

If you want to run locally use and follow the help:

Warning: You can use this script only on:

• x86 machines with NVIDIA graphic card
• NVIDIA Jetson Orin or Xavier series

./docker_build_ros.sh

Follow README in isaac_ros_runner folder
