New target device support (MOVIDIUS/VPU)

[RodBelaFarin]

After a very long and painful installation procedure, I have successfully installed the ROS2 OpenVINO toolkit for Humble on Ubuntu 22.04 with OpenVINO runtime 2023.3.0.

Currently it is working with CPU, but I was expecting to be able to use my Intel Movidius MyriadX.

I was looking on how to configure it to use the Movidius and just saw a small note in the yaml configuration guide that only CPU and GPU are supported currently.

Also the table afterwards lists the NCS:

Target Device
CPU
Intel® Integrated Graphics
FPGA
Intel® Movidius™ Neural Compute Stick

Can you add this feature, please?

Hi @RodBelaFarin , Openvino 2023.3.0 no longer support Intel® Movidius ™ VPU based products. The support for these were dropped from the 2022.3.0 release onwards.
