I'd like to run a ROS node on the BeagleBoard Blue to publish ping sensor data, subscribe to servo control commands etc... I'm pretty new to ROS. FWIW I do have Linux and Linux SBCs experience. I'm familiar with MQTT.
I'm hoping to find up to the minute knowledge from folks like Jason Kridner / RobertCNelson before I head down a a path I'm new to and unfamiliar with. This past Memorial day weekend I installed Debian 9 *stretch *on an old HP tx2000 and installed a full desktop version of ROS Lunar from packages. Pretty much easy peasy following these directions. Debian install of ROS Lunar <http://wiki.ros.org/lunar/Installation/Debian> I like that it was a package install rather than a preconfigured linux image as I've seen in a previous ROS dive a year or so ago. If I'm reading that documentation correctly they also have arm64 packages for Debian 9 *stretch.* Is there support, a boot image, for Debian stretch on the BeagleBoard Blue? What other paths might I take on my quest to have ROS on the BeagleBoard Blue? Sure would be nice to do it in Debian rather than Ubuntu. And from packages would be ++ Here is some documentation I've found that might be useful, or raised more questions. - The EduMIP Mobile Robot: Running the EduMIP as a ROS Node <http://dscl.lcsr.jhu.edu/ME530707_2017_EduMIP_ROS> see Notes on Setting up the BeagleBone Black (BBB) and Beaglebone Black Wireles (BBBW) with Debian and ROS <http://dscl.lcsr.jhu.edu/ME530707_2017_EduMIP_ROS#Notes_on_Setting_up_the_BeagleBone_Black_.28BBB.29_and_Beaglebone_Black_Wireles_.28BBBW.29_with_Debian_and_ROS> - ROS Lunar installation instructions <http://wiki.ros.org/lunar/Installation> Seems to indicate stretch is available for Arm64 - Debian install of ROS Lunar <http://wiki.ros.org/lunar/Installation/Debian> Seems to indicate packages are available for Arm64 on stretch - DebianScienceRoboticsROSPackages The current list of Debianised packages (ordered by dependency) <https://wiki.debian.org/DebianScience/Robotics/ROS/Packages> Looks like a bunch of packages built for Arm64 Debian Jessie. I don't know where to start. Recap Is Debian Stretch available for BeagleBoards? What might be the best starting point to installing a node on a BeagleBoard Blue? -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
