Error raised when executing build_ros2_workspace.bash

[xirhxq]

Hello all!

I am trying to communicate to PX4 V1.13 with a Jetson Orin NX on Ubuntu 20.04 & ROS2 Foxy. I was doing the steps according to Build ROS2 Workspace in PX4 Official Documentation, and I got some problems.

Here is the output when executing source build_ros2_workspace.sh:

amov@amov:~/px4_ros_com_ros2/src/px4_ros_com/scripts$ ./build_ros2_workspace.bash

And I add --verbose to it, and here is what I got:

Are you on PX4 1.13? Since 1.14, it isn't using the micrortps agent, but uXRCE: https://docs.px4.io/v1.15/en/ros2/user_guide

Sorry I forgot to say that. I am on 1.13.

Was fastrtpsgen properly installed?

OSError: [Errno 8] Exec format error: '/usr/local/bin/fastrtpsgen'

This makes me think the ARM version is installed on a x64 system or vice versa.
