This is a layer to provide ROS in an OpenEmbedded Linux system.
|
|
Currently, this layer is still under development and not fully functional.

PURPOSE of this document:
|
|
This document describes
|
|
- the state of the current work
|
|
- the installation and use of the git repository meta_ros
|
|
- license information and origin of redistributed files
|
|
|
|
|
|
STATE OF THIS WORK:
|
|
|
|
This repository provides
|
|
- Native compilation of ROS-fuerte
|
|
- Native compilation of ROS-groovy
|
|
- Cross compilation of ROS-groovy (under development)
|
|
|
|
INSTALLATION/SETUP:
|
|
The repository only contains a layer for ROS that builds on top of the existing OpenEmbedded Core layer.
|
|
Currently, I work with
|
|
* commit 2587a33134fde80dd1367629d9def45ac70256ee of https://github.com/openembedded/oe-core
|
|
* commit 324ed96e28ec31cff8cef1824d20d40f9a5d46ad of git://git.openembedded.org/bitbake in the bitbake directory
|
|
|
|
|
|
USE for cross-compilation of ROS-groovy (in development):
|
|
|
|
Currently, we 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.

PREVIOUS USE CASES
|
|
|
|
|
|
INSTALLATION:
|
|
|
|
The repository only contains a layer for ROS that builds on top of the existing OpenEmbedded Core layer.
|
|
You can download the yocto poky-danny-8.0 archive, but then you should update the distutils.bbclass,
|
|
and maybe also the url of libarchive.
|
|
To install, unpack http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/yocto/yocto-1.3/poky-danny-8.0.tar.bz2 into a directory <dir>.
|
|
|
|
In the directory of the layers, clone this repository into the subdirectory meta-ros.
|
|
Add the meta-ros directory to your local bblayers.conf file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
USE for native compilation of ROS-fuerte on the qemu VM:
|
|
The commands
|
|
source oe-init-build-env
|
|
bitbake core-image-ros-fuerte
|
|
builds our specifically configured linux image.
|
|
|
|
With `runqemu qemux86 qemuparams="-m 2048" core-image-ros-fuerte` 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 architecture. For other architectures, some settings must be adjusted.
|
|
|
|
On the host system, run fetch-ros-fuerte.sh in a fresh directory, e.g. ~/ros-repos/.
|
|
It clones all ros repositories locally.
|
|
After starting the virtual machine, copy the installation script from the host system to the home directory with scp.
|
|
|
|
scp lukas@192.168.7.1:/<location of repository>/install-fuerte.sh .
|
|
|
|
Adjust configuration in install-fuerte.sh and then run
|
|
|
|
sh ./install-fuerte.sh
|
|
|
|
The installation script installs ros and starts roscore.
|
|
|
|
|
|
USE for native compilation of ROS-groovy on the qemu VM:
|
|
The commands
|
|
source oe-init-build-env
|
|
bitbake core-image-ros-groovy
|
|
builds our specifically configured linux image.
|
|
|
|
With `runqemu qemux86 qemuparams="-m 2048" core-image-ros-groovy` 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 architecture. For other architectures, some settings must be adjusted.
|
|
|
|
On the host system, run mk_srcarchive.sh in some clean temporary directory.
|
|
It copies all ros sources from their URLs and puts them into one src.tar.gz archive.
|
|
After starting the virtual machine, copy the installation script from the host system to the home directory with scp.
|
|
|
|
scp lukas@192.168.7.1:/<location of repository>/install-groovy.sh .
|
|
|
|
Adjust configuration in install-groovy.sh and then run
|
|
|
|
sh ./install-groovy.sh
|
|
|
|
The installation script installs ros and starts roscore.
