Hello, 

I am current running a Yocto OS (Kirkstone) on an NXP iMX8QM (ARM Cortex A52 & A72) and would like to use my BlackFly S for some image tracking abilities with python and C++. The python wrapper you all offer via downloads page will install with pip fine but the base SDK seems to need a lot of debian based dependencies. Do you all offer any type of layer or support for non-debian based linux systems ? 

My use case here is to be able to connect to the camera, configure it to my needs at program at program start up, then in a loop grab a frame and the chunk data (mainly frame timestamp) for object tracking in a real time scenario.

  Aravis might be an alternative to Spinnaker: https://github.com/AravisProject/aravis

  Unfortunately, we only support Ubuntu LTS versions officially.

  You might be able to get our SDK work on other Linux distributions, but this is beyond our support scope. 

  Kind Regards,

  Kevin

  @TDY_Manuel, yes, I currently have a custom recipe to install Aravis for use via c++,python and gstreamer which works. My customer is just requesting the full spinnaker SDK as well for timing comparison studies and functionality testing. 
  
  Thank you both for the response.
