This is a layer to provide ROS Hydromedusa in an OpenEmbedded Linux system. It provides a stable cross-compilation build system for many common ROS packages. Currently, this layer is still under continuous development.

INSTALLATION
The repository contains a layer for ROS that builds on top of the OpenEmbedded Core layer and the meta-oe layer.
We try our best to keep up with the development of the current HEAD of the layers mentioned above. If you notice any problems with the current HEAD, please report this in our issue tracker.
You can use this layer with earlier versions of the layers mentioned above and their release branches, dora and daisy, with a few minor adjustments. The section "dependencies on recent commits" in this file provides a few pointers to adjust this layer for other versions.
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
