Cannot locate rosdep definition, error on micro-ROS

I'm trying to set up micro-ROS on Ubuntu 20.04 using this website, and connect ESP32 to ROS 2. However, when executing the command ros2 run micro_ros_setup create_firmware_ws.sh freertos esp32, I get the following error:

ERROR: the following packages/stacks could not have their rosdep keys resolved

Is there any solution?

Incidentally, I implemented the following solution suggested by ChatGPT, but it didn't improve the situation.

  • Update ROS 2 dependencies. rosdep update
  • Install System Packages, which ROS2 packages or stacks depend on. rosdep install --from-paths /path/to/your/ros2/workspace --ignore-src --rosdistro <your_ros_distro>
  • Rebuild the ROS 2 workspace. colcon build
