Hello,I have bought the beaglebone blue because i have seen that it was compatible with ROS. However the beaglebone blue is designed for debian and it has armhf architecture which is not proposed by ROS.Can you send me a procedure to install ROS on the beaglebone blue under any version of debian ?(I have already looked on many forum and I have found that most of people had the same problem )Thank you very much.Kind regards.

Hello Jason at al:
When I installed ROS on the BBB-Wireless in January 2017 I
started with a recent Debian image. At that time the ROS binaries
for Debian were not available, so I did a source-build of ROS.
For my ROS course students I compressed 32GB Debian Jesse image that has ROS kinetic and support for the Robotics Cape pre-installed – the compressed 32GB image is about 4GB. Get it here: https://jh.box.com/v/530-707-Dropbox it is the file "BBBW-debian8_6-ROSKineticFull_2017-02-16_32gb.img.zip".
Building ROS from source on the BBB is not hard. You need to create and enable a swap file. The build takes about 26 hours. Instructions are here: http://wiki.ros.org/kinetic/Installation/Source I posted some additional notes here:

Louis,
Do you have ideas about the below issue?
Matza,
Can we bring the list back into copy? I really, really dislike one-on-one support. This info needs to go back to the forum.
Regards,Jason

I haven't tested it on the black but I had the same issue with this tutorial (unable to locate package)
Here are all my tests:1) bbblue with debian stretch (on many version) and try to install ros-lunar:when i was trying to install ROS-Base: (Bare Bones)with this command sudo apt-get install ros-lunar-ros-basei had this error "E:Unable to locate package ros-lunar-ros-base"2)bblue with debian jessie (on many version) and try to install ros-kineticsame error but with "E:Unable to locate package ros-kinetic-ros-base"3)I had also try to install the package in local way without success.4) I had also try to flash with ubuntu xenial because ros accepte armhf architecture on ubuntu but I can't connect with ssh to my bblue (I have bought wires in order to connect in a serial way, I am waiting to receive them)5) I had also tried to run this command apt install ros-robot the same problem appear
Ps: Tell me if you need any details on the errors or what I have done.
Thanks a lot

Thanks for your quick answer but i have already tested this tutorial, the issue is that it is designed for the beaglebone black which has a arm64 architecture (ROS can be installed on it but it's not designed for armhf architecture on beaglebone blue)
They have the same armhf architecture.
Thank you very much.
