If you are building inside a minimal Docker image such as `ros:jazzy-ros-core-noble`,
refresh the APT package index in the same `RUN` step before invoking `rosdep install`.
The official ROS images clear `/var/lib/apt/lists/*`, so skipping `apt-get update`
can make `rosdep` fail when it tries to install system packages such as
`libcurl4-openssl-dev`.

```dockerfile
RUN apt-get update && \
. /opt/ros/$ROS_DISTRO/setup.sh && \
rosdep update && \
rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src -y
```

Once the package is built, the firmware scripts are ready to run.
