Short note on installation of (parts of) mobotware on Raspberry Pi
+
Back to [[Robobot]]
  
=== Prerequisite ===
+
Back to [[Flexbot]]
  
First install 2012-10-28-wheezy-raspbian on the raspberry Pi flashdisk and expand the flash-disk to at least 4GB - see the instructions on e.g.: http://elinux.org/RaspberryPiBoardBeginners
 
  
Assuming this is up and running - with internet access
+
== Prerequisite ==
  
=== Configure ===
+
* Raspberry pi - version 3 or 4
 +
* SD-card preferably at least 16Gb
 +
* Monitor with HDMI (version 3) or micro HDMI (version 4) cable
 +
* keyboard - and optional a mouse
 +
* Access to network (wired or wifi)
 +
* Power - either an USB charger or cable to a PC (micro USB (version 3) or USB-C (version 4)
  
Using ''raspi-config''
+
It should be possible to start using USB or wifi connection from a PC without extra screen or keyboard, find solutions on internet - I have not tried.
Expand Filesystem (if not OK already)
+
Enable Camera
+
Set hostname
+
Enable SSH
+
Enable i2c - load module as default
+
Disable Serial login
+
Update firmware
+
  
=== Update operating system ===
+
====Make SD card a FAT32 partision, if reusing an old card====
  
Ensure you have internet access, then
+
A new SD-card is fine as is, else
  
sudo apt-get update
+
see http://qdosmsq.dunbar-it.co.uk/blog/2013/06/noobs-for-raspberry-pi/ for instruction to prepare any old or new SD-card
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
+
sudo reboot
+
  
=== Login ===
+
====Add boot-files to SD card====
  
login as ''pi'', password ''raspberry''
+
=====RPI imager =====
  
add a user called ''local''
+
Version 10 (buster) is easily installed using the 'Raspberry pi imager',
 +
on Linux install with
  
  sudo adduser local
+
  snap install rpi-imager
  sudo usermod -a --groups adm,cdrom,sudo,audio,video,plugdev,games,users,netdev,input,spi,gpio local
+
  rpi-imager
  
switch user to ''local'', and ensure groups are OK, and network is running
+
and follow the screen
  
su - local
+
=====manual =====
groups
+
ifconfig
+
  
Note the inet address.
+
or
  
Now it is possible to login (as ''local'') from network.
+
Get the install zip-file from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/noobs/
  
Do '''NOT''' login as root for running mobotware (not needed and could mess up configuration).
+
Then unpack NOOBS zip-file to the new disk (use the newest version), like
 +
for the network version
 +
unzip NOOBS_lite_v3_5_1.zip -d /media/xxx/yyyy  or
 +
unzip ~/Downloads/raspberry/NOOBS_lite_v3_5_1.zip  (if you are on the empty flash)
 +
or for the full version
 +
unzip NOOBS_v3_5_1.zip -d /media/xxx/yyyy  or
 +
unzip ~/Downloads/raspberry/NOOBS_v3_5_1.zip  (if you are on the empty flash)
  
From another (Linux) PC, mount the raspberry filesystem
+
====Reboot====
  
mkdir pi  (where the filesystem will be mounted)
+
* Insert SD card on Raspberry,
sshfs local@10.59.8.141: pi    (replace IP number with inet address from above)
+
* Mount a heatsink - especially needed on version 4,
 +
* Connect monitor, keyboard and (USB) power
  
Then in directory pi the user files on the raspberry can be manipulated.
+
That is all, Raspberry should boot on that, and take some time to prepare the SD-Card.
 +
Or see instructions on e.g.: https://www.raspberrypi.org/help/noobs-setup/
  
for other access, use
+
* Boot the raspberry and install the Raspberry Pi OS full (Debian).
 +
* On the bottom of the screen select keyboard layout and language,
  
ssh -X local@10.59.8.141
+
Settings
  
=== Packages needed for Mobotware RHD/MRC ===
+
* Leave the pi password as is (for future reuse)
 +
* Select language (prefer English - also for future reuse)
 +
* select wifi access - if not using a cable.
  
The following packages needs to be installed - e.g. using apt-get like:
+
==Usefull Linux commands==
  
sudo apt-get install subversion
+
Here are some common commands in Linux
  
Package list for RHD and MRC:
+
ls    (directory file list)
 +
cd    (change to home directory)
 +
cd some_directory    (change to a subdirectory)
 +
exit  (logout, e.g. of a ssh session)
 +
grep -n string_to_look_for_in_a_file  *.cpp    (find a string in a file, e.g. a variable or a function)
 +
sudo some_command    (execute a command as "root" - root is a superuser with administrator rights to everything)
 +
pkill some_application_name  (stop (or kill) a running process with name "some_application_name")
 +
pgrep some_application_name  (see if a process is running - good to use before a kill)
 +
mv  from_file to_file    (rename a file)
 +
cp  from_file to_file    (copy a file)
 +
rm  some_file            (remove (delete) a file)
 +
nano some_file          (simple text editor)
 +
zip, unzip              (pack or unpack files -  try zip --help  to see how.
 +
top    (see process load and memory usage)
 +
make    (compile all as described in the "Makefile" in the same directory)
 +
make -j4 (compile using up to 4 CPU cores - faster if more files need to be compiled)
  
subversion  (to fetch mobotware from SVN)
+
All commands have an online help if you add --help or -h after the command.
libexpat-dev  (RHD)
+
If this is not enough, then try
pciutils-dev  (RHD)
+
  man ls
libncurses-dev (RHD)
+
to get the manual page for the ls command.
bison          (MRC)
+
  libsdl-dev    (MRC)
+
telnet        (MRC test)
+
sshfs          (may be a good idea to access filesystem from another PC)
+
sudo apt-get install subversion libexpat-dev pciutils-dev libncurses-dev bison libsdl-dev telnet sshfs
+
  
=== Additional for AURS (e.g. camera server) ===
+
== Configure ==
  
Package list
+
==== Raspberry ====
cmake
+
libopencv-dev
+
libreadline-dev
+
libudev-dev
+
libusb-dev
+
libv4l-dev
+
python-dev
+
libgstreamer0.10-dev
+
libboost-dev
+
libboost-system-dev
+
sudo apt-get install cmake libopencv-dev libreadline-dev libudev-dev libusb-dev libv4l-dev python-dev libgstreamer0.10-dev libboost-dev libboost-system-dev
+
  
=== Get Mobotware ===
+
use raspi-config, start a terminal:
  
Get and unpack mobotware - see main page of this wiki for info
+
sudo raspi-config
  
Either from SVN - if you have access, or from our lab-computers as a mobotware-XXX.tar.gz file, where XXX is version number.
+
Using ''raspi-config''
 +
Enable Camera
 +
Set hostname (one word, no space)
 +
Enable SSH
 +
Disable Serial login
 +
boot as a console with login
 +
Update firmware
 +
Set locale to "en_DK.UTF-8 UTF-8" (danish keyboard, but English language)
  
unpack if a .gz file
+
=== Update operating system ===
  
tar -xzf mobotware-XXX.tar.gz
+
Ensure you have internet access, then
  
this makes a mobotware directory with all the files.
+
  sudo apt-get update
 
+
  sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
=== Modify makefiles ===
+
  sudo reboot
 
+
Not all parts of Mobotware runs on a raspberry, so some parts must be removed from the Makefiles:
+
 
+
Enter the mobotware directory
+
 
+
cd mobotware-XXX
+
 
+
==== main Makefile ====
+
 
+
nano -w Makefile
+
 
+
Change this section

+
 
+
delete the lines
+
 
+
hakoclient/trunk  (GUI for HAKO tractor)
+
simulator/trunk  (simulator will not run on raspberry)
+
 
+
so that it looks like
+

+
=== Build ===
+
Build mobotware:
+
cd ~/mobotwareXXX
+
make
+
 
+
This should now compile with warnings only
+
 
+
(''augraphplan.h not found'' may appear,
+
but try one more ''make'', then it usually works
+
@todo - find out why)
+
 
+
=== install ===
+
 
+
The easyest way to use Mobotware is then to install into /usr/local/smr.
+
 
+
This is done by
+
 
+
  sudo make install
+
 
+
==== setup path ====
+
 
+
Add the mobotware bin-directory into default PATH in ''/etc/profile''
+
 
+
  sudo nano -w /etc/profile
+
 
+
append the 2 PATH lines with '':/usr/local/smr/bin'', like:
+
 
+
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/local/smr/bin"
+
 
+
And add mobotware AURS library path into .bashrc
+
 
+
nano -w ~/.bashrc
+
 
+
append a line like this
+
 
+
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/smr/lib"
+
 
+
=== Make a Mobotware test configuration ===
+
 
+
Logout and login to ensure that the PATH settings gets implemented
+
 
+
Make a directory to run from
+
 
+
mkdir ~/live
+
cd ~/live
+
 
+
Copy a robot configuration file
+
 
+
cp -r /usr/local/etc/mobotware/calib .
+
 
+
make a ''rhdconfig.xml'' file with this content (loads a ''joystick'' and ''log'' plugin only).
+
Look in ''mobotware/build/config'' for specific versions for different robots.
+
 
+
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
+

+
this should show a lot of HEX numbers and a few more errors.
+
 
+
==== Camera server ====
+
 
+
Start the camera server
+
 
+
ucamserver
+
 
+
This should end with something like this
+

[edit] Prerequisite

  • Raspberry pi - version 3 or 4
  • SD-card preferably at least 16Gb
  • Monitor with HDMI (version 3) or micro HDMI (version 4) cable
  • keyboard - and optional a mouse
  • Access to network (wired or wifi)
  • Power - either an USB charger or cable to a PC (micro USB (version 3) or USB-C (version 4)

It should be possible to start using USB or wifi connection from a PC without extra screen or keyboard, find solutions on internet - I have not tried.

[edit] Make SD card a FAT32 partision, if reusing an old card

A new SD-card is fine as is, else

see http://qdosmsq.dunbar-it.co.uk/blog/2013/06/noobs-for-raspberry-pi/ for instruction to prepare any old or new SD-card
