The ROS real-time working group has released the first Raspberry Pi 4 image with ROS 2 preinstalled. It can be downloaded and flashed much like Raspberry Pi OS. Further, the image is tuned to be also suitable for real-time applications. We also released an OS image builder that can be used to extend the aforementioned image with custom applications for production robots. This may be extended for other SBCs in the future. Through this builder, we define a way to cross-compile code that can be used for ad-hoc testing and for embedding into the production OS image.
