The following is a step-by-step procedure to get started using EEROS on the BeagleBone Blue board. It describes how to use our SDK for the Beaglebone blue. The application is developed on a Linux host machine and can then be deployed to the board.

This section describes how to get the newest Linux Image installed on your BeagleBone Blue board. This image already contains the EEROS library together with examples. Further is includes necessary hardware libraries, notably the librobotcontrol as well as basic functionalities of ROS.

• Get the Beaglebone Blue image from Downloads.

• Unpack it on your host system with

  $ tar -vxJf ost-ros-dev-image-bblue-2021.03.24.tar.xz

• Create a bootable micro-sd-card. The given instructions are for an USB stick, but the process is the same.

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

• Get the cross development SDK for the Beaglebone Blue from Downloads.

• Unpack it on your host system with

  $ tar -vxJf ost-ros-dev-image-bblue-2021.03.24-sdk.tar.xz

• Execute the unpacked script with

  $ ./ost-distro-glibc-x86_64-ost-ros-image-melodic-cortexa8hf-neon-bblue-toolchain-1.0.sh

Install the following package on your machine

$ apt-get install git
