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

[Tully Foote]

Hi Dave,

To answer your question directly I have seen a proof of concept with roscpp
running on a bare metal arm chip.  I don't know exactly what went into
making that work.

Morgan,

Thanks for taking the initiative to setup the SIG.  I've created a wiki
page for the SIG at http://www.ros.org/wiki/SIG/Embedded
