Deploy to Beaglebone Blue Board
Preparations
Fetch the EEROS scripts in your project root directory on your host and checkout the branch for the Beaglebone Blue board
$ git clone https://github.com/eeros-project/eeros-build-scripts.git $ cd eeros-build-scripts $ git checkout sdk_bbb
The file config.sh.in
contains entries for the destination of deploying.
target_IP_address=192.168.7.2 target_username=ost target_application_folder=/home/ost/
Deploying
Next, edit deploy.txt
on the host in your project directory and enter the application program you want to transfer together with the necessary hardware configuration file, e.g.
build-armhf/simple-motor-control/simpleMotorControl build-armhf/simple-motor-control/HwConfigBBBlue.json
If you wrote your own Say Hello with EEROS the file would look like
build-armhf/hello/helloworld
Finally, load them onto the target with
$ ./deploy.sh
Running your Application
ssh into the board with
$ ssh ost@192.168.7.2
For credentials see Beaglebone Blue.
Change into your target application folder and run the example
$ cd bin $ ./helloworld or $ sudo ./simpleMotorControl -c HwConfigBBBlue.json
Running your Application which is a ROS Node
Be sure to setup your network settings according to Network Setup. Set the environment variable ROS_MASTER_URI
in your shell with
export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://192.168.7.3:11311
Add the following line to your /etc/hosts
file (under Ubuntu)
192.168.7.2 bblue
Run your application with
$ sudo -E ./application
Running the Built-in Examples of EEROS
Running the built-in examples of EEROS as given in the tutorial pages in Tutorials is quite simple, e.g.
$ sudo /usr/examples/rtTest/rtTest
