rs-server on Rasberry pi 4 with the latest SDK release on Ubuntu server 20.04

[albanlandry]

Hi,

I followed this tutorial https://dev.intelrealsense.com/docs/open-source-ethernet-networking-for-intel-realsense-depth-cameras?_ga=2.80735319.1920116263.1712216662-1355478879.1711417049 to enable Ethernet connection on a Intel RealSense 455 device. Though I compiled the RealSense SDK as instructed here https://github.com/IntelRealSense/librealsense/blob/master/doc/libuvc_installation.md. I modified the file libuvc_installation.sh at the lline [46] to include the option -DBUILD_NETWORK_DEVICE as follows: cmake ../ -DFORCE_LIBUVC=true -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release -DBUILD_NETWORK_DEVICE=ON -DFORCE_RSUSB_BACKEND=ON.

Everything went well expect that I cannot find the command "rs-server".

Is there a way to make it work?

Hi @albanlandry The rs-server tool was removed from the librealsense SDK in version 2.54.1, so you will need to install version 2.53.1 or older in order to use rs-server networking.

You would not be able to use the libuvc backend script to install an older version as the script only installs the latest librealsense version, so you would need to download the source code for the older version and then compile it with CMake using the instructions at #9931 (comment)

If you are able to install the pyrealsense2 Python wrapper on your Pi then an alternative to installing an older SDK version would be to use EtherSense, a Python ethernet networking tool for RealSense cameras that was the predecessor of rs-server.
