README

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

DEPENDENCIES ON RECENT COMMITS

  cv-bridge and dependent recipes, e.g., the image-transport recipes, depend on
  7568bfdd114597956a1da68746f207ec7f93a48d@openembedded-core.
  
  Some recipes that need the Eigen library, e.g., the pcl-ros recipe, depend on

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 d3d5ccd3275196fb9e4cb8f49d3c087b97c20ed6 of https://github.com/openembedded/oe-core
    * commit 2a463dddcf76d7fa437e96f6cf0210143e97a904 of https://github.com/openembedded/meta-oe
    * commit bf9be2029b2bded5f532bdda4c38ae3dff5d1cf6 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 <package-name>

  Look at the meta-ros test reports for the description of the current state.

  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=/usr
    export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://localhost:11311
    export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr
    touch /usr/.catkin

  Finally, you can start roscore with
    roscore
