Hi Qnetjoe, I would propose that you start as follows: 1. Get an understanding of yocto and bitbake following the Yocto Quick Start: http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.2.1/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs.html After stepping through that document, you should be able to build and start a small Linux image in the qemu emulator. 2. Build and run an image with ROS for the qemu emulator following the instructions at: http://wiki.ros.org/hydro/Installation/OpenEmbedded 3. Build and run a minimal image for the Microzed board, using the microzed configuration provided in the meta-xilinx layer at: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-xilinx/tree/conf/machine/microzed-zynq7.conf?h=master http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-xilinx/tree/ By the way, I found this by searching on https://layers.openembedded.org/, and it quickly linked me to: https://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/branch/master/machines/?q=Microzed 4. Combine what you learned in Step 2 and Step 3, and build an image with ROS for the Microzed board. When combining, you will probably need to choose the build configuration that is a compromise between the build configurations you used in step 2 and in step 3. This will then probably need certain adjustments in meta-ros. Here some further advice: - Get a build machine with a lot of CPU power, RAM and a SSD disk to build images much quicker. You will not get away with some laptop and some Linux virtual machine. when bitbaking the images. - Report issues you encounter on the meta-ros github issue tracker. Please always provide at least the build configuration you use, and possibly even the bblayers.conf file, so that others can reproduce the reported issue. I hope this helps.
