The following is a step-by-step procedure to get started using EEROS on the BeagleBone Blue board. It describes how to set up the cross development tool chain. The application is developed on a Linux host machine and can then be deployed to the board.

Fetch the EEROS scripts on your cross development system with

$ git clone https://github.com/eeros-project/eeros-build-scripts.git eeros-project
$ cd eeros-project

Edit the file config.sh.in as follows

use_simulator=false
use_flink=false
use_bbblue=true
use_comedi=false
use_ros=false
use_can=false
use_custom_application=true
use_cross_compilation_environment=true
use_ros_setup_script=false

Setting the entry use_custom_application to true will fetch an existing application from a git repository. Per default this will will be https://github.com/eeros-project/simple-motor-control.git. However, you could choose another repository in config.sh.in. Or you could set the entry to false if you want to develop your own application.

The entry use_cross_compilation_environment ensures that you compile using an SDK built for the target platform. This SDK already contains the librobotcontrol. Make sure to install the SDK by

• downloading the SDK from https://wiki.bu.ost.ch/infoportal/software/linux/images/start
• installing the SDK as described in https://wiki.bu.ost.ch/infoportal/software/linux/bbblue-sdk

Edit the file config.sh.in as follows

environment_setup_script=/opt/ntb-distro/1.0/environment-setup-armv7at2hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi

This will guide your make script to use the SDK. Make sure that the above path matches your installation path.

Now you can run the clone script

$ ./clone.sh

After this you can continue with Compile.
