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.

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 <package-name>
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
