This is a layer to provide ROS Groovy Galapagos in an OpenEmbedded Linux system. Currently, this layer is still under development and only provides cross-compilation of the basic ros-comm packages.

If you are interested in this project, please contact us via email. The more people are interested, the more we will be pushing this project. If you want to contribute, please contact us and we can discuss open issues and how to join forces. DEPENDENCIES This layer depends on: URI: git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core branch: master revision: HEAD URI: git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded layers: meta-oe branch: master revision: HEAD INSTALLATION The repository contains a layer for ROS that builds on top of the OpenEmbedded Core layer and the meta-oe layer. We believe it should work with the current HEAD of the layers mentioned above. As a further reference, here are the version I currently work with: * commit 395b90054eccddc1c9062a9a8657ed4482b7710a of https://github.com/openembedded/oe-core * commit 2a5dea2399e2be5e5d964eda7465dcaf4c2e152b of https://github.com/openembedded/meta-oe * commit 324ed96e28ec31cff8cef1824d20d40f9a5d46ad of git://git.openembedded.org/bitbake in the bitbake directory USAGE Currently, you can cross-compile the ROS packages with the commands: source oe-init-build-env bitbake Look at the meta-ros test reports for the description of the current state. The recipe core-image-ros-groovy-qemux86-running-roscore provides a minimal Linux system that runs roscore on the qemu x86 virtual machine. You can compile the minimal Linux system with bitbake core-image-ros-groovy-qemux86-running-roscore Then, you start this system with runqemu qemux86 core-image-ros-groovy-qemux86-running-roscore In the qemu shell, set up the environment with export ROS_ROOT=/usr export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://localhost:11311 export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr touch /usr/.catkin Finally, you can start roscore with roscore LICENSE All metadata is MIT licensed unless otherwise stated.
