Could any one tell me the reason why it fails?

[borongyuan]

Hi,
Your configuration looks fine, there should be other problems. Is there any other error message before this one? Other issues like communication failures can cause this error.

[ReginaldSourn]

I've used default configurations with jetson nano and version ROS foxy. I'm a beginner with ROS2 I don't know the real problem, please acknowledge the problem. I don't know the real problem.

Hi @ReginaldSourn,

Just check that you have selected the correct branch, must be the same as your odrive firmware version. I had the same problem with the RPi board, after the branch change, everything works great.

[ReginaldSourn]

Thank @rgruberski!!
the solutions Still not working. I try to dig to get some clues. For now, I have questions for @borongyuan why the spawner /controller_manager/list_controller can't find joint_state_broadcaster? is it the bug from hardware_interface ?
Thanks for the answers @borongyuan. My Remote is JETSON_NANO and I using Ros Foxy Thanks!!!

[ReginaldSourn]

@rgruberski you're right !! what I was missing is I changed only the Odrivetool version and branch version switching from fw-v0.5.3 to fw-v0.5.1. I haven't changed firmware by using odrivetool dfu and downgrading versions of the firmware Odrive. So, to change firmware we need to go Odrive Firmware Release and then download the correct firmware matching with the branch we want to use. I am using fw-v0.5.3 firmware to upload it :

• power off Odrive Controller Devices
• Download the right firmware .hex and go to the file download direction.
• run odrivetool df ODriveFirmware_v**_***V.hex
• turn on power Odrive Controller Devices and it starts to erase and upload new firmware.
• Once it's finished, turn off or restart Devices that's it.

libsub also can create trouble in compiling also please make sure we use libusb-1.0.0 not libusb-0.1-4.
after that, we need configurations odrive hardware with python scripts before running testing axis0 spinning.

Thank @borongyuan for giving me the answer.

[Mohamed-Abduljawad]

@ReginaldSourn I did all the steps you mentioned, flashed the firmware, removed libusb-0.1-4 so it won't mess up with the driver yet it's not working.

What are the odrive hardware configuration you mentioned?

My setup is ubuntu 22.04.4,

FW 0.5.3

[Mohamed-Abduljawad]

Found the solution.
Odrivetool was blocking the USB port, I had to quit it so the driver can access it
