Dr. Footleg has written a guide to running the Robot Operating System 2 (ROS 2) on the Raspberry Pi 5.
He explains that running ROS 2 on the Raspberry Pi requires a 64-bit version of the Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm and Docker. Most existing manuals lack this information.
Dr. Footleg suggests installing ROS 2 in Docker running on top of Raspberry Pi OS to get around the problem of lack of native support in Raspberry Pi OS. The guide covers installing Docker, the necessary post-installation setup including creating a dedicated group and user, and creating a Docker container for ROS 2. Dr. Footleg warns that the image container is about 3.3 GB in size, so you should make sure you have enough free disk space.
The full tutorial, including a selection of useful Docker commands and an overview of using the TurtleSim tutorial to master ROS 2, is available on Dr. Footleg's blog.
