Did someone have the same problem and knows how to solve it? Thanks in advance for you help and feedback.

Hi, I think this could be either ROS version mismatch between ROS installed on system and the branch of the depthai-ros repository, could you share what they are respectively? Alternatively, cv_bridge package is not installed (although that shouldn't be the case), you can check that with sudo apt install ros-DISTRO-cv-bridge

Aaaah we have kilted depthai-ros repo instead of humble?

We followed these instructions:

https://docs.luxonis.com/software/ros/depthai-ros/build/

Could you maby send the correct repo so we dont get it wrong again? much appreciated!

Vladikb This is a dependacy issue; it looks like you are running Ubuntu 22.

Jetpack 6 is the latest avilable for Jetson devices; it will only support up to Ubuntu 22; Jetpack 7 will enable Unbutu 24 but is not out yet: (https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/develop/roadmap).

The ROS2 Kilted release requires a minimum of Ubuntu 24; this means you can not yet install Kilted on a Jetson device (custom compiling Kilted has failed for me multiple times on a Jetson Orin NX and may not be possible without heavy modification.)

You should be able to use the Humble branch of the DepthAI ROS driver (git switch humble) and packages should align for Kilted around Q2 of 2026 to my understanding.
