Debs for ARM

[Austin Hendrix]

As an experiment, I've set up a build farm on my personal desktop to run
ROS builds for ARM. At the moment, I'm building ROS Groovy for Ubuntu
Oneiric and Precise. I've only been able to build catkin packages at
this point, but it's enough for me to run the basics on my Pandaboard.

If anyone else is interested, my buildfarm status page is here:
http://namniart.com/build/ and the repository URL is
http://packages.ros.org/ahendrix-mirror/ubuntu/

Regards,
-Austin

Hello Austin,

This is awesome... I'll have to dust off my Panda board this weekend give it a try.  I've been currently playing with ROS on the RaspberryPi which is ARMv6 hard float.  I assume that you are building for ARMv7 hard float?

I have Ubuntu Oneiric (armel) on my Pandaboard at the moment, so I'm
currently building soft float. I haven't set the target architecture
explicitly, but it looks like it's targeting ARMv7.

From doing some reading, it looks like hard float gives a pretty
significant performance boost, and Ubuntu Precise and Quantal have
hard-float builds, so that's on my short list. I usually like to do at
least a few basic tests before unleashing code on the world, so
hard-float builds will probably come after I upgrade my pandaboard to a
hard-float version of Ubuntu.
