Hi, v2.56.x has been in beta since August 2024. Is there a tentative for when it gets a final release?

[Nir-Az]

Hi @bbferka
Currently we aim for EO Q1 / Start of Q2..
Stay tuned..

[mjc6fe]

@Nir-Az is there any update on this tentative date, given that we are around the start of Q2? Or can you please provide insights of which changes/bugfixes are already prepared to go on the official non-beta release? Thanks

[Nir-Az]

Hi,
The current target date is EO Q2.
You can checkout the current development branch (and diff with r/255) to see latest code and changes since last non beta release.
The release will be branched out development branch.

[stevedanomodolor]

what about for arm version?

[stevedanomodolor]

In addition, it also an older version of cuda, 10.12

[Nir-Az]

Focal version is built on NVIDIA Jetson JP5.0.2 that comes with Cuda version 11.4.1.
You can try it.
If you use Jammy, you can also use our Debians that use Cuda 12.2

[Nir-Az]

BTW, If you build from source you can use any Cuda version you wish :)

[stevedanomodolor]

I do now to make it work with the latest version. But having to do this manually is a pain😬

[Nir-Az]

Sorry to hear that, soon we will have another release and hopefully it will make you flow easier.

Hello! How can I install pyrealsense2 if my ubuntu kernel version is 6.8? What should I download or run?

[RoboticsChen]

pip install pyrealsense2_beta

[MartyG-RealSense]

Hi @YangJL2003 If you have kernel 6.8 then the easiest approach would be to install the librealsense SDK and pyrealsense2 from source code at the same time using the libuvc backend installation method, which provides a pre-made build script called 'libuvc_installation.sh'.

https://github.com/IntelRealSense/librealsense/blob/master/doc/libuvc_installation.md

https://github.com/IntelRealSense/librealsense/blob/master/scripts/libuvc_installation.sh

When librealsense is installed using the libuvc backend method, the kernel is bypassed and so it should not matter if you have kernel 6.8.

To install pyrealsense2 at the same time as librealsense, please edit line 46 of the libuvc_installation.sh script to add the build flag below:

-DBUILD_PYTHON_BINDINGS=true

https://github.com/IntelRealSense/librealsense/blob/master/scripts/libuvc_installation.sh#L46

[YangJL2003]

Thank you!
