No. No, it isn't. Lynx is a browser I use in the terminal. This is something else.

Can confirm. $DAYJOB makes robots subject to hard worst-case latency constraints. The product runs on QNX.

Whoops, sorry. I must have repressed that trauma.

You treat it like the metaphorical toxic waste it is: avoid it at all costs. You don't need ROS to get a dependency manager, a build system, a middleware, and/or a process manager.

Can confirm. I am a grown man and my professional work with ROS has made me cry.

I have worked in two failed and failing startups that invested heavily in ROS. I could fill several volumes with "ROS Gotchas". Everything in the ROS stack is either a useless curio or an on-fire clown car.

Using ROS is a great way to turn your project and business into a cautionary tale.

This is not a comment about open/closed-source software and/or licensing models.

Projects like this never fail to impress me vis-a-vis source obfuscation. The 'generate.pyz' is an interesting twist on the usual practice.

I have been looking for something like this. Got a link to your project?

Times like this really bolster my distrust and hatred for those horrible dkms installers. Thank you, nvidia, for living up to my worst expectations.

I'm interested in doing something similar, except using a board with open-source firmware. What kind of options do I have (if any)?

I'm putting qnx cross-toolchains into Debian packages because $DAYJOB builds qnx images in ubuntu containers. I've learned a lot about cross-toolchains and my appreciation for blackberry's technical prowess has never been lower.
