[ros-users] roscpp on embedded devices with ethernet?

[Dave Curtis]

Actually, if you are talking about the "imbedded linux" in my reply below -- that is probably *my* fat-finger when composing the e-mail, not a misspelling on his part.  My main point is that "embedded Linux" is very different from "embedded bare metal", which is where I want to go.  Embedded Linux requires an MMU and lots of RAM, uCLinux requires an MPU and lots of RAM -- I want something that will fit in low-end 32 bit ARM with no external RAM, or some such widget.

Is it possible to run roscpp on the bare metal, or does roscpp depend on a lot of Linux system services?  Of course, rosserial would be an option, but if you have an ethernet controller on chip, that seems limiting.  Or is there another light-weight ROS comms on TCP that I don't know about?
