INSTALLATION and USE:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The repository only contains our contributions to the existing yocto poky-danny-8.0 archive.
|
|
|
|
|
To obtain all files, unpack http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/yocto/yocto-1.3/poky-danny-8.0.tar.bz2 into this repository.

The commands
|
|
|
|
|
source oe-init-build-env
|
|
|
|
|
bitbake core-image-bmw
|
|
|
|
|
builds our specifically configured linux image.

|
|
|
With `runqemu qemux86-64 qemuparams="-m 2048" core-image-bmw` the linux image runs within a virtual machine with 2048 MB of memory.
|
2012-11-29 15:18:45 +08:00
|
|
|
We assume that this is running on and compiled for an x86-64 architecture. For other architectures, some settings must be adjusted.

|
After starting the virtual machine, copy the installation script from the guest system to the home directory with scp and execute it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
scp lukas@192.168.7.1:/<location of repository>/install.sh .
|
|
|
|
|
sh ./install.sh

M1: basic image with dev-tools (make, cmake, ...) and ROS compiles natively in the virtual machine
|
|
|
|
|
M2: Linux+ROS System can be built completely with bitbake (no compilation and installing in the virtual machine)
|
|
|
|
|
M3: Linux+ROS System with configured kernel (e.g. RT-Linux, System-D) that meets AF requirements
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
RESOLVED ISSUES for M1:
|
2012-12-05 01:19:09 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2012-12-03 20:45:25 +08:00
|
|
|
- recipes for python-pyyaml and python-rospkg create invalid shell scripts (header line refers to python-native instead of python.)
|
|
|
|
|
RESOLVED by patching distutils class--will be committed to yocto.
|
2012-12-05 20:10:33 +08:00
|
|
|
- recipe for log4cxx requires another patch.
|
|
|
|
|
RESOLVED by providing patch 0003 in recipe
|
2012-12-07 21:09:41 +08:00
|
|
|
- Compilation with make fails in the virtual machine because of insufficient memory during compilation.
|
|
|
|
|
RESOLVED by increasing memory.

OPEN ISSUES for M1:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-12-05 01:19:09 +08:00
|
|
|
- Yocto: python-setuptools requires some python-modules at run-time.
|
|
|
|
|
TEMPORARILY RESOLVED by adding all python-modules in the image
|
|
|
|
|
SHOULD BE RESOLVED by creating an appropriate patch for python-setuptools and contributing to openembedded-core
|
2012-12-04 18:08:01 +08:00
|
|
|
- rospkg modules are not found when runnning python.
|
2012-12-05 20:33:42 +08:00
|
|
|
TEMPORARILY RESOLVED by installing natively in the virtual machine
|
2012-12-07 21:09:41 +08:00
|
|
|
SOLUTION UNCLEAR. Cannot be solved by adding rospkg-dev.
