I have been trying
to get ROS installed on one of my RoBoards (Vortrx86
based SBC, www.roboard.com)
similarly to Taylor Veltrop. I ran into a few
difficulties and while fixing them have created a new
install of Ubuntu on the RoBoard. As I was tinkering
with this, I ended up building a light fast install
based on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server with the newest
Vortex86 kernel installed. I put X on it and installed
Awesome window manager (very small, light and can be run
with or w/o a mouse). I have ROS Diamondback installed
(and working) and the RoBoIO v1.7 library compiled and
installed as a Shared Library (RoBoIO.so). Works like a
champ ... low memory and processor load and is only 2.75
GB on an 8 GB partition. I have made a CloneZilla image
of it and thought if anyone was interested I would post
it on my server for download. With CloneZilla it is
very easy to install to the RoBoard with a 2 GB USB
stick (the image is 1.1 GB). You just install
CloneZilla to to the USB stick, copy the image to the
/home/partimg directory, boot on the USB and follow the
instructions. The image is for an 8 GB disk, so you
will need at least an 8 GB microSD card.
