The scripts will install Robot Operating System (ROS) on the NVIDIA Jetson TX2 development kit.
Tested on L4T 27.1
The script is based on the Ubuntu ARM install of ROS Kinetic: http://wiki.ros.org/kinetic/Installation/UbuntuARM
Maintainer of ARM builds for ROS is http://answers.ros.org/users/1034/ahendrix/
updateRepositories.sh This is an optional step. Adds the repositories universe, multiverse, and restricted and then apt-get update. These repositories are in the standard 27.1 install, so probably not needed.
installROS.sh Adds the ROS sources list, sets the keys and then loads ros-kinetic-ros-base. Edit this file to add other ROS packages for your installation. After loading, rosdep is initialized.
setupCatkinWorkspace.sh Usage:
$ ./setupCatkinWorkspace.sh [optionalWorkspaceName]
where optionalWorkspaceName is the name of the workspace to be used. The default workspace name is catkin_ws. This script also sets up some ROS environment variables. Refer to the script for details.
