Nina beaming revival (2026)¶

Changes in Nina (hardware), in middleware (now YARP3) and in computers (icub-laptop with Ubuntu 22, Mical-008 with Ubuntu 24) makes it mandatory to redevelop the Beaming platform. Old "cluster" were not compatible anymore (YARP image format has changed, OS libraries and tools updated...)
See Troubleshooting
