README.md

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.

HOW TO CONTRIBUTE

We are still working on this development and are interested in other use cases. 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

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 424e3c1b930c0103c2cedfd4df1671e84a5256d5@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 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:

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
