The following is a step-by-step procedure to get started using EEROS on the cb20 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.

As cross tool chain, the arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-4.9 is needed. It is recommended to use a Ubuntu 16.04 as host operating system, since this packet is available in the default repositories. If a Linux host is used in a virtual machine, a lightweight Ubuntu distribution is recommended. In case you are using a newer Ubuntu version, you have to add xenial to your sources list, see https://askubuntu.com/questions/1036108/install-gcc-4-9-at-ubuntu-18-04.

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=true
use_bbblue=false
use_comedi=false
use_ros=false
use_custom_application=true

Now you can run the clone script

$ ./clone.sh

Change back into your project directory and start the compilation of EEROS, the hardware wrapper library, and the demo application with

$ ./make.sh

Finally, load the executable onto the target (see notes below if you are doing this on a brand new board) with

$ ./deploy.sh

The default password on the BeagleBone Blue Board is “temppwd”. Edit the deploy.txt file to define which files are downloaded.
Use ssh to get on the target and change into /opt/eeros/bin. Start the demo application with

$ sudo ./demo -c HwConfigBBBlue.json

Now, everything is ready. The development can be started in the BeagleBoneBlue/demoApp/ folder.
