ROS_ARM_CROSSCOMPILE

ROS indigo cross compile for ARM architecture

Install build dependencies

First. you have to install build dependencies. Start with cloning this repositiory.

git clone https://github.com/mktk1117/ROS_ARM_CROSSCOMPILE.git
cd ROS_ARM_CROSSCOMPILE
source scripts/install_dependencies.sh

Cross compile dependencies

ROS depends on some libraries. You also have to cross compile these libraries. The script cross compiles for ARM architecture by using arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc or g++.
It compiles

  • boost1.55
  • OpenCV2.4.9
  • bzip2-1.0.6.
  • lz4
  • console_bridge
  • Poco1.8.0.1
  • python 2.7
  • tinyXML

The script file build_dependencies.sh will cross compile above libraries into ROS_ARM_CROSSCOMPILE/arm-linux.

cd /your workspace/ROS_ARM_CROSSCOMPILE
source scripts/build_dependencies.sh
