This is a layer to provide ROS Indigo Igloo in an OpenEmbedded Linux system.
It provides a stable cross-compilation build system for many common ROS packages.
Currently, this layer is still under continuous development.

## DEPENDENCIES ON RECENT COMMITS ##
Here, we list which parts of this layer depend on recent commits in the
bitbake, openembedded-core and meta-openembedded repositories. Using
`git blame` on the lines below, you can find the commits in meta-ros that
rely on the remote commits. In case of porting to other versions, you must
possibly revert some of those commits.
ament-cmake-core depends on python3-pyparsing which is available in
meta-python since pyro
1a373a033f482981eb59ff8d9eb7a9437fa18cd4@meta-openembedded and native
version since rocko
06eb9d658e71b6a61f2589d9618ae2ca35eaaf8b@meta-openembedded
python3-pyparsing-native depends on python3-datetime-native,
python3-debugger-native and python3-stringold-native which were added
in oe-core python3-native in pyro:
462ccb35a5de32b52ddb733d1868df6ac5426f20@openembedded-core and
800753069f667cd1664d70b3779150c467e3b3fe@openembedded-core simple
bbappend as shown in:
https://github.com/bmwcarit/meta-ros/pull/607#pullrequestreview-143981126
is enough to resolve this if you're using old pyro unsupported
release.
ros2topic (and few more recipes when ROS_USE_PYTHON3 is set to yes)
depends on python3-pyyaml which was added in
1161ab8f8dda272eb5d09917446cc5b971be1335@meta-openembedded.
cv-bridge and dependent recipes, e.g., the image-transport recipes, depend on
7568bfdd114597956a1da68746f207ec7f93a48d@openembedded-core.
For native python-numpy support, these recipes also depend on
c13c5f40160d289bb62538a16900fed30621cb22@meta-openembedded or on
9bf355cceaec6ebacdcbcc35f9713ff73e1c85da@openembedded-core.
Some recipes that need the Eigen library, e.g., the pcl-ros recipe, depend on
424e3c1b930c0103c2cedfd4df1671e84a5256d5@meta-openembedded.
Using wildcards in bbappend versions part in name depends on
31bc9af9cd56e7b318924869970e850993fafc5f@bitbake and
991cbeedbde8bd25ce08c669b1bfac8b99e33149@bitbake.
octomap-ros and collada-urdf depend on
43073569cb67d98c11aa71211d77b566b64f9145@openembedded-core and
783fb88f476c94d5d4f4b954f7053464d9a6dff5@openembedded-core.
urdfdom-py depends on the meta-python layer since
a6d7ba92645a112af358efd94ff3aa0c74985a51@meta-openembedded.
Since 3edf08b38b0af93cef0933b061349264dc86d54c@openembedded-core,
recipes relying on opencv need to activate the DISTRO\_FEATURE
opengl.
rosbridge-library depends on python-six, which is provided in meta-python
since a36869c700bed940f7f0aa4b9703ae630dc84eac@meta-openembedded.
## INSTALLATION ##
The repository contains a layer for ROS that builds on top of the
OpenEmbedded Core layer and the meta-oe layer.
We try our best to keep up with the development of the current HEAD
of the layers mentioned above. If you notice any problems with the
current HEAD, please report this in our issue tracker.
You can use this layer with earlier versions of the layers mentioned above
and their release branches, dora and daisy, with a few minor adjustments.
The section "dependencies on recent commits" in this file provides a few
pointers to adjust this layer for other versions.
## USAGE ##
Initialize the build environment:
source oe-init-build-env
Add the required layers (see **DEPENDENCIES**) by modifying ``./conf/bblayers.conf`` (adjust ``/home/me/devel`` as necessary):
BBLAYERS ?= " \
/home/me/devel/openembedded-core/meta \
/home/me/devel/meta-openembedded/meta-oe \
/home/me/devel/meta-openembedded/meta-python \
/home/me/devel/meta-openembedded/meta-multimedia \
/home/me/devel/meta-ros \
"
By default meta-ros uses python2 in all its recipes. If you want ROS packages
to use python3 then add the following line in your `./conf/local.conf` file:
ROS_USE_PYTHON3 = "yes"
Compile package:
bitbake <package-name>
The recipe core-image-ros-roscore provides a minimal Linux system that runs
roscore.
You can compile the minimal Linux system with
bitbake core-image-ros-roscore
Then for example, you start this system in the qemu virtual machine with
runqemu <MACHINE> core-image-ros-roscore
On the Linux system, ensure that the own host's name in resolved by adding
127.0.0.1 <HOSTNAME>.localdomain <HOSTNAME>
to the /etc/hosts file, and set up the environment with
export ROS_ROOT=/opt/ros
export ROS_DISTRO=indigo
export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=/opt/ros/indigo/share
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/ros/indigo/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/ros/indigo/lib
export PYTHONPATH=/opt/ros/indigo/lib/python2.7/site-packages
export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://localhost:11311
export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/opt/ros/indigo
touch /opt/ros/indigo/.catkin
Finally, you can start roscore with
roscore
If you want to use the roswtf utility for diagnostics and experience an
exception like
rospkg.os_detect.OsNotDetected: Could not detect OS, tried ['windows', 'ubuntu', 'slackware', 'rhel', 'qnx', 'osx', 'opensuse', 'opensuse', 'mint', 'linaro', 'gentoo', 'funtoo', 'freebsd', 'fedora', 'elementary', 'debian', 'cygwin', 'centos', 'arch']
then you need to set `ROS_OS_OVERRIDE` to one of the listed OS names, e.g.
export ROS_OS_OVERRIDE=ubuntu
And since Yocto-based distributions are not supported by the `rospkg`
library you have to interpret roswtf's output by translating Ubuntu
package names manually to their corresponding package/recipe names that
were chosen in the meta-ros layer.
## CROSS-COMPILING ALL ROS PACKAGES IN meta-ros
The meta-ros layers only includes a subset of the officially released ROS
packages, available from packages.ros.org. The here provided ROS packages
are mainly driven by the current users' needs.
For ROS packages that depend on cv-bridge, the commercial license flag
must be whitelisted, as cv-bridge depends on opencv, and opencv by
default depends on libav that has special terms and conditions when used
commercially.
This can be done by adding to the local.conf the line:
LICENSE_FLAGS_WHITELIST = "commercial"
Alternatively, the dependency from opencv on libav can be explicit excluded
by modifying the PACKAGECONFIG setting.
