Other Boards

[CubeSpawn]

I just ordered a RPi to add to my controller test bench,

I currently have a BeagleBoard and a Gumstick also.

I am presuming these boards will also be relevant to this groups discussions?

Thanks

James

I'm definitely interested in making sure ROS runs well on gumstix :)

Absolutely!

Actually, there has already been some work done for gumstix in the past.

What we're trying to do here is organizing everything and provide a comprehensive way to make ROS work on the most popular ARM boards.

I have been following the R-Pi developments with interest - and have a lateral connection with Mr Teeters fine efforts through the CubeSpawn project,

I just checked, and the Gumstix I have is quite old, and is therefore based on the Intel pxa255a0e400 so its not relevant - the BeagleBone however certainly is...

I'll "stay tuned" for further developements :-)

For Gumstix, the 'Overo' boards (OMAP35xx and OMAP37xx based just like
Beagleboard) and the 'DuoVero' boards (OMAP4430-based) are more
interesting for ROS.

I have also started this process on the A10 based boards. I am using
the cubieboard currently for this effort.

I have a Pandaboard that I'm pretty invested in at this point, running Ubuntu Oneiric armel.

As part of building a library of boards that we'd like to see support for, we should also note which Linux distributions are easiest or most popular, and which build type (armel, armhf, etc) we would like to see.

+1 for Gumstix Overo and Beagleboard. Haven't setup a PPA myself before, but I have compiled Groovy natively on an Overo running Linaro Precise. Pointers would be appreciated.

I got ROS running on the gumstix using this tutorial:
http://wiki.gumstix.org/index.php?title=Turtlecore

I then added more and more packages by hand which took a lot of time, but worked. If I had to do it all over again, I would init the catkin workspace with the desktop version and remove packages if not able to compile.
