Short note on installation of (parts of) mobotware on Raspberry Pi (or Beagle-bone)
+
Back to [[Robobot]]
  
For Beagle-bone skip to "Login" with adduser or installation o, the rest should work, as they are both almost the same processor and operating system. Note this guide is not pt. tested on beagle-bone.
+
Back to [[Flexbot]]
  
=== Prerequisite ===
 
  
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
+
== Prerequisite ==
  
Assuming this is up and running - with internet access
+
* 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)
  
==== I2C clock stretching ====
+
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.
  
NB! pt. (may 2015) the i2c interface driver do not support clock stretching for data,
+
====Make SD card a FAT32 partision, if reusing an old card====
this will often be seen as the MSB is missing (at times), dependent on the speed
+
of the slave device.
+
  
One option is to reduce bus-speed to e.g. 50kHz, or to use a faster slave, that do
+
A new SD-card is fine as is, else
not need clock-stretching.
+
  
Hopefully the I2C driver will be cured soon, as the hardware should support the stretching.
+
see http://qdosmsq.dunbar-it.co.uk/blog/2013/06/noobs-for-raspberry-pi/ for instruction to prepare any old or new SD-card
  
=== Configure ===
+
====Add boot-files to SD card====
  
Using ''raspi-config''
+
=====RPI imager =====
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 ===
+
Version 10 (buster) is easily installed using the 'Raspberry pi imager',
 +
on Linux install with
  
Ensure you have internet access, then
+
snap install rpi-imager
 +
rpi-imager
  
sudo apt-get update
+
and follow the screen
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
+
sudo reboot
+
  
=== Login ===
+
=====manual =====
  
login as ''pi'', password ''raspberry''
+
or
  
add a user called ''local''
+
Get the install zip-file from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/noobs/
  
  sudo adduser local
+
Then unpack NOOBS zip-file to the new disk (use the newest version), like
  sudo usermod -a --groups adm,cdrom,sudo,audio,video,plugdev,games,users,netdev,input,spi,gpio,i2c local
+
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)
  
switch user to ''local'', and ensure groups are OK, and network is running
+
====Reboot====
  
su - local
+
* Insert SD card on Raspberry,
groups
+
* Mount a heatsink - especially needed on version 4,
ifconfig
+
* Connect monitor, keyboard and (USB) power
  
Note the inet address.
+
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/
  
Now it is possible to login (as ''local'') from network.
+
* Boot the raspberry and install the Raspberry Pi OS full (Debian).
 +
* On the bottom of the screen select keyboard layout and language,
  
Do '''NOT''' login as root for running mobotware (not needed and could mess up configuration).
+
Settings
  
From another (Linux) PC, mount the raspberry filesystem
+
* 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.
  
mkdir pi  (where the filesystem will be mounted)
+
==Usefull Linux commands==
sshfs local@10.59.8.141: pi    (replace IP number with inet address from above)
+
  
Then in directory pi the user files on the raspberry can be manipulated.
+
Here are some common commands in Linux
  
for other access, use (with IP address as found above)
+
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)
  
ssh -X local@10.59.8.141
+
All commands have an online help if you add --help or -h after the command.
 +
If this is not enough, then try
 +
man ls
 +
to get the manual page for the ls command.
  
=== Packages needed for Mobotware RHD/MRC ===
+
== Configure ==
  
The following packages needs to be installed - e.g. using apt-get like:
+
==== Raspberry ====
  
sudo apt-get install subversion
+
use raspi-config, start a terminal:
  
Package list for RHD and MRC:
+
sudo raspi-config
  
subversion  (to fetch mobotware from SVN)
+
Using ''raspi-config''
  libexpat-dev  (RHD)
+
  Enable Camera
  pciutils-dev  (RHD)
+
  Set hostname (one word, no space)
  libncurses-dev (RHD)
+
  Enable SSH
  bison          (MRC)
+
  Disable Serial login
  libsdl-dev    (MRC)
+
  boot as a console with login
  telnet        (MRC test)
+
  Update firmware
  sshfs          (may be a good idea to access filesystem from another PC)
+
  Set locale to "en_DK.UTF-8 UTF-8" (danish keyboard, but English language)
sudo apt-get install subversion libexpat-dev pciutils-dev libncurses-dev bison libsdl-dev telnet sshfs
+
  
=== Additional for AURS (e.g. camera server) ===
+
=== Update operating system ===
  
Package list
+
Ensure you have internet access, then
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
+
  
=== Mount filesystem ===
+
  sudo apt-get update
 
+
  sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
As an option, mount the home directory on raspberry-pi to your local PC for easy
+
  sudo reboot
file modification.
+
 
+
On your PC type make a directory for the filesystem
+
 
+
mkdir rpi
+
sshfs local@10.59.8.141: rpi
+
ls rpi
+
 
+
with your IP address
+
 
+
=== Get Mobotware ===
+
 
+
Get and unpack mobotware - see main page of this wiki for info
+
 
+
Either from SVN - if you have access, or from our lab-computers as a mobotware-XXX.tar.gz file, where XXX is version number.
+
 
+
unpack if a .gz file
+
 
+
tar -xzf mobotware-XXX.tar.gz
+
 
+
this makes a mobotware directory with all the files.
+
 
+
=== Modify makefiles ===
+
 
+
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
+
 
+

+
    aurs-plugins/auzoneobst \
+
    aurobotservers/trunk \
+
    simulator/trunk
+
 
+
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" ?>
+

+
 
+
There will be some errors as there is no laserscanner ...
+
 
+
Press enter a few times to get a prompt ">>"
+
 
+
Type
+

[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

[edit] Add boot-files to SD card

[edit] RPI imager

Version 10 (buster) is easily installed using the 'Raspberry pi imager', on Linux install with

[edit] Usefull Linux commands

Here are some common commands in Linux

ls     (directory file list)
cd     (change to home directory)
cd some_directory    (change to a subdirectory)
exit   (logout, e.g. of a ssh session)

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)

All commands have an online help if you add --help or -h after the command. If this is not enough, then try

man ls

to get the manual page for the ls command.

[edit] Configure

[edit] Raspberry

use raspi-config, start a terminal:

sudo raspi-config

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)

[edit] Update operating system

Ensure you have internet access, then

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo reboot
Personal tools
Namespaces

Variants
Actions
