The colcon-acceleration ROS 2 package provides an extension for colcon-core (a series of ROS 2 build tools) to include Hardware Acceleration capabilities.

The mkinitramfs verb creates compressed cpio initramfs (ramdisks). These can then be used to back up the current rootfs or to create dom0less VMs in Xen easily. For more details, check out the ROS 2 Hardware Acceleration Working Group (HAWG) community repository or the introductory paper.
