Currently, this layer is still under development and not fully functional.
PURPOSE of this document:
This document describes:
* the installation, use and content of the git repository meta_ros
* milestones, the open issues and how some issues have been resolved.
This document describes

@ -23,23 +25,22 @@ USE for native compilation on the VM (milestone M1):
With `runqemu qemux86-64 qemuparams="-m 2048" core-image-ros` the linux image runs within a virtual machine with 2048 MB of memory.
We assumed that this is running on and compiled for an x86-64 architecture. For other architectures, some settings must be adjusted.
Extract ros_server.tar.gz somewhere, adjust pathes in fuerte-ros-base.rosinstall to the location where it has been extracted to.
After starting the virtual machine, copy the installation script from the guest system to the home directory with scp and execute it.
On the host system, run fetch_ros.sh in a fresh directory, e.g. ~/ros-repos/.
It clones all ros repositories locally.
Then adjust pathes in fuerte-ros-base.rosinstall to the local repositories.
After starting the virtual machine, copy the installation script from the host system to the home directory with scp and execute it.
scp lukas@192.168.7.1:/<location of repository>/install.sh .
sh ./install.sh
