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

Hi,

I was wondering if there are any plans (cross-compiler?) such that ROS can run on the NXT bricks ?

Currently RCX bricks are used for a course Embedded Motion Control using brickOS.
We would like to switch to the NXT bricks. Furthermore we want to set up the course such that students can get familiar with ROS.

It would be great if the software can run on the brick itself so that we do not need an USB-cable. Bluetooth is not an option because of the high latency.

Thanks Jeroen
