Install Robot Operating System (ROS) Melodic on NVIDIA Jetson Developer Kits



These scripts will install Robot Operating System (ROS) Melodic on the NVIDIA Jetson Developer Kits. 



Jetson Nano, Jetson AGX Xavier, Jetson Xavier NX, Jetson TX2, Jetson TX1



The script is based on the Ubuntu ARM install of ROS Melodic: http://wiki.ros.org/melodic/Installation/Ubuntu



Maintainer of ARM builds for ROS is http://answers.ros.org/users/1034/ahendrix/



There are two scripts:



installROS.sh


Usage: ./installROS.sh  [[-p package] | [-h]]

 -p | --package <packagename>  ROS package to install

                               Multiple Usage allowed

                               The first package should be a base package. One of the following:

                                 ros-melodic-ros-base

                                 ros-melodic-desktop

                                 ros-melodic-desktop-full

 


 

Default is ros-melodic-ros-base if no packages are specified.



Example Usage:



`$ ./installROS.sh -p ros-melodic-desktop -p ros-melodic-rgbd-launch`



This script installs a baseline ROS environment. There are several tasks:



* Enable repositories universe, multiverse, and restricted

* Adds the ROS sources list

* Sets the needed keys

* Loads specified ROS packages, defaults to ros-melodic-base-ros if none specified

* Initializes rosdep

* Sets up `ROS_MASTER_URI` and `ROS_IP` in the `~/.bashrc` file



_**Note:** You will need to check your `~/.bashrc` file to make sure the ROS_MASTER_URI and ROS_IP are setup correctly for your environment. During configuration, a best guess is made which should be considered a placeholder._



You can edit this file to add the ROS packages for your application. 



**setupCatkinWorkspace.sh**

Usage:



`$ ./setupCatkinWorkspace.sh [_optionalWorkspaceName_]`



where _optionalWorkspaceName_ is the name and path of the workspace to be used. The default workspace name is `~/catkin_ws`.
