Use on a Avnet Microzed Board

The following is a step-by-step procedure to get started using EEROS on the Microzed Board. It describes how to set up the SDK. The application is developed on a Linux host machine and can then be deployed to the board.

Install Linux Image on Microzed Board

Make sure to have the newest image from Petalinux Microzed installed on your Microzed board. This image already contains the EEROS library together with examples. Further is includes necessary hardware libraries, notably flink as well as basic functionalities of ROS.

Install SDK on the Host

In order to develop your application on the host, you have to install the cross development SDK.

  1. Get the cross development SDK for the board from Petalinux Microzed.
  2. Change into the sdk directory and execute the script therein with 
    $ cd sdk
$ ./tdx-x11-glibc-x86_64-ntb-dev-image-armv7at2hf-neon-toolchain-2.6.4.sh

    Stick with the default target directory for the SDK. If you choose a different directory you have later to manually change the associated entry in config.sh.in.

Install Git

Install the following package on your machine 

$ apt-get install git

Continue with Writing EEROS Applications for the Microzed Board.
