[Discourse.ros.org] [OpenEmbedded] Support for Robots in meta-ros

['Lukas Bulwahn' via Mailing List of ROS Layer for OpenEmbedded Linux]

Dear all, dear Javier,

If you have been following the current development on the master branch of 
meta-ros, you might have noticed that we now finally provide a number of 
recipes for the kobuki robot.

We provide recipes for 103 packages, including all packages from ecl_tools, 
yujin_ocs, rocon, kobuki_core and kobuki.

We tested that all of those packages build and I checked that all runtime 
dependencies are declared as defined in the package.xml. However, we never 
checked if all of those tools and packages run on a cross-compiled image. So, 
we ask the potential users to report if there are any further issues that we 
are not aware of.

As my spare time admits, I will continue to work on providing all recipes for 
turtlebot. A work-in-progress state is provided on the wip-turtlebot branch in 
my personal meta-ros fork. The currently most challenging part is to get 
openni2-camera cross-compiling. The speed of progress on that overall activity 
will however be largely driven by the number of user requests for turtlebot. 
Currently, some meta-ros users and contributors are asking for assistance on 
other interesting topics for meta-ros. So, progress on turtlebot support is 
currently not on my personal priority list.

Best regards,

Lukas
