Is it possible to install the DevKit without having the Movidius Stick? #107

Open ninamwa opened 4 years ago

Hi. We want to use Intel® RealSense™ D400 Series and Intel® RealSense™ T265 to perform SLAM and navigation (using ROS2 Cartographer and ROS2 Navigation2) with our robot. Is the Intel® Movidius™ Neural Compute Stick 2 necessary to perform these tasks? I can see it is a requirement for the Robot DevKit, but is it possible to only install the parts of the devkit not depending on the movidius stick?

Only OpenVINO (so ObjectAnalitycs too) depends on NCS2. The rest of the software doesn't require it.

Cartographer and Navigaton2 shouldn't have dependency on NCS2.
