Is it possible to exchange the Raspberry 3 of the Core2-ROS with a Raspberry 4?

Hi Michael,

We already have RPi 4 in our office, and we are ready to start testing it with CORE2-ROS. If there will be some problem with compatibility with our image we will release new version. Till this time you can run test for your own. I will inform you as soon as it possible about our progress.

Best regards,
Hubert

Hi Hubert,
so from hardware point of view there is no problem?
I also read that RPi 4 runs with the newest Rasbian which based on Debian Buster. Is that kompatible with ROS Kinetic or do I need an update to Melodic? If yes runs Melodic with Core2?

Hi Michael,

From hardware point of view producer said that RPi 4 has full backward compatibility with RPi 3, but I didn’t check it by myself yet.

If you want to use full functionality of CORE2-ROS (cloud and ROS) you have to use our image or install our package to make SBC start cooperating with CORE2. But If you just want to publish and subscribe topics you can do it using USB cable and this tutorial. Types of messages between melodic and kinetic distro should not be different.

Best regards,
Hubert
