installROSTX

Install Robot Operating System (ROS) on NVIDIA Jetson TX Dev Kits

These scripts will install Robot Operating System (ROS) on the NVIDIA Jetson TX1 and Jetson TX2 Development Kit.

Tested on L4T 28.1 (Ubuntu 16.04). L4T 28.1 was installed with JetPack 3.1.

The script is based on the Ubuntu ARM install of ROS Kinetic: http://wiki.ros.org/kinetic/Installation/UbuntuARM

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

updateRepositories.sh This is an optional step. Adds the repositories universe, multiverse, and restricted and then apt-get update. These repositories are in the standard 28.1 install, so probably not needed.

installROS.sh Adds the ROS sources list, sets the keys and then loads ros-kinetic-ros-base. Edit this file to add other ROS packages for your installation. After loading, rosdep is initialized.

setupCatkinWorkspace.sh Usage:

$ ./setupCatkinWorkspace.sh [optionalWorkspaceName]

where optionalWorkspaceName is the name of the workspace to be used. The default workspace name is catkin_ws. This script also sets up some ROS environment variables. Refer to the script for details.

Note: On June 7, 2019 the GPG key for ROS was changed due to security issues. If you have ROS installed on your system before this, you should delete the GPG key:

$ sudo apt-key del 421C365BD9FF1F717815A3895523BAEEB01FA116
