Hey all,<div><br></div><div>Has anyone had any luck deploying TCPROS on microcontrollers which have ethernet interfaces?</div><div><br></div><div>I&#39;m using a Cortex M3, and I&#39;d like to be able to do realtime stuff, so I would prefer to stay close to the metal, rather than running on top of a linux kernel. What I&#39;m envisioning is this device participating on a wired network with a PC which provides roscore. The M3 would come up and have an IP configured where it looks for core (or it could just arp on its subnet and try them all).</div>

<div><br></div><div>On a high level, what&#39;s the feasibility of this? How possible will it be to run the comms portion of roscpp without depending on OS-provided process management, signalling, sockets, etc?</div><div>

<br></div><div>I&#39;ve been having trouble using eros with the vendor-provided toolchain, so I&#39;ve also been experimenting with just manually compiling portions of libros--- how realistic is that as an alternative approach?</div>

<div><br></div><div>As a third possibility, would it make sense to try to build this up from rosserial, rather than by peeling away layers of roscpp?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for any feedback or suggestions,</div>
<div>
