3 years ago If Mendel is Debian-based you could try specifying a compatible Debian distribution using the --os option. See the rosdep comand docs http://docs.ros.org/en/independent/api/rosdep/html/commands.html for details.
If Mendel is Debian-derived but not compatible with any existing Debian or Ubuntu distribution supported by ROS then binary packages will not be available for the platform.
If Mendel is compatible, you could contribute an OsDetector to rospkg http://docs.ros.org/en/independent/api/rospkg/html/developers_guide.html#developing-new-osdetectors

Hello - Mendel OS (debian based) which is the OS for coral edge development boards is not yet on the list for ross2/rosdep installations. I am trying to understand if Mendel is expected to become a standard OS for Ros2 installs so that we can leverage binaries (instead of having to compile ourselves) and to avoid having to use docker and cross compilation for the installations. Thank you!
