Hi, guys!
I have a DART-MX8M-Mini machine running Yocto Hardknott.
I properly added meta-ros layer and ROS2 foxy distro to our Yocto build by following instructions from here (Sanity Tests pass successfully).
With the help of devtool, I was able to build my custom ROS2 package (containing simple talker and listener nodes - link). For that to happen, I got some great support from the Yocto community - link.
Here is the content of my-first-yocto-pkg_git.bb recipe that enabled me to download my source code from the git and properly build the ROS2 package:

I currently have a hard time building my ROS2 package that contains only custom ROS2 interfaces (messages and services).
CMakeLists.txt file of that package contains the following lines that are causing the build errors:
find_package(rosidl_default_generators REQUIRED)
...
rosidl_generate_interfaces(${PROJECT_NAME}
"msg/MessageX.msg"
"msg/MessageY.msg"
"srv/SrvX.srv"
"srv/SrvY.srv"
)
Do you have any idea about what should be included as inherit xxxxx or within ROS_BUILD_DEPENDS/ROS_BUILDTOOL_DEPENDS /ROS_EXEC_DEPENDS ... in order to successfully generate the ROS2 package containing custom interfaces?
Thanks in advance for your time and efforts. It is appreciated.
Sincerely,
Bojan.
