Hi Jeroen,

it definitely would be a much better solution to have ROS running natively
on the brick.  I don't know if it has a full enough featured build
environment to run there.  However there is a project for cross compiling
ROS onto embedded platforms hopefully some of their tools would be helpful
if you wanted to try.  See http://www.ros.org/wiki/eros
