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)


=== Configure ===
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.


Using ''raspi-config''
====Make SD card a FAT32 partision, if reusing an old card====
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 ===
A new SD-card is fine as is, else


Ensure you have internet access, then
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 update
====Add boot-files to SD card====
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo reboot


=== Login ===
=====RPI imager =====


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


add a user called ''local''
snap install rpi-imager
rpi-imager


sudo adduser local
and follow the screen
sudo usermod -a --groups adm,cdrom,sudo,audio,video,plugdev,games,users,netdev,input,spi,gpio local


switch user to ''local'', and ensure groups are OK, and network is running
=====manual =====


su - local
or
groups
ifconfig


Note the inet address.
Get the install zip-file from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/noobs/


Now it is possible to login (as ''local'') from network.
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)


Do '''NOT''' login as root for running mobotware (not needed and could mess up configuration).
====Reboot====


From another (Linux) PC, mount the raspberry filesystem
* Insert SD card on Raspberry,
* Mount a heatsink - especially needed on version 4,
* Connect monitor, keyboard and (USB) power


mkdir pi  (where the filesystem will be mounted)
That is all, Raspberry should boot on that, and take some time to prepare the SD-Card.
sshfs local@10.59.8.141: pi    (replace IP number with inet address from above)
Or see instructions on e.g.: https://www.raspberrypi.org/help/noobs-setup/


Then in directory pi the user files on the raspberry can be manipulated.
* Boot the raspberry and install the Raspberry Pi OS full (Debian).
* On the bottom of the screen select keyboard layout and language,


for other access, use (with IP address as found above)
Settings


ssh -X local@10.59.8.141
* 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.


=== Packages needed for Mobotware RHD/MRC ===
==Usefull Linux commands==


The following packages needs to be installed - e.g. using apt-get like:
Here are some common commands in Linux


  sudo apt-get install subversion
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)


Package list for RHD and MRC:
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.


subversion  (to fetch mobotware from SVN)
== Configure ==
libexpat-dev  (RHD)
pciutils-dev  (RHD)
libncurses-dev (RHD)
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) ===
==== Raspberry ====


Package list
use raspi-config, start a terminal:
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 raspi-config


As an option, mount the home directory on raspberry-pi to your local PC for easy
Using ''raspi-config''
file modification.
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)


On your PC type make a directory for the filesystem
=== Update operating system ===


mkdir rpi
Ensure you have internet access, then
sshfs local@10.59.8.141: rpi
ls rpi


with your IP address
  sudo apt-get update
 
  sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
=== Get Mobotware ===
  sudo reboot
 
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
 
APPSUBDIRS = aumat/trunk \
    aurobotservers/trunk/include \
    aurobotservers/trunk/libs \
    mapbase/trunk \
    rhd/trunk \
    mrc/trunk \
    hakoclient/trunk  \
    aurs-plugins/aumanager aurs-plugins/aumrcobst aurs-plugins/auplanner/trunk \
    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
 
APPSUBDIRS = aumat/trunk \
    aurobotservers/trunk/include \
    aurobotservers/trunk/libs \
    mapbase/trunk \
    rhd/trunk \
    mrc/trunk \
    aurs-plugins/aumanager aurs-plugins/aumrcobst aurs-plugins/auplanner/trunk \
    aurs-plugins/auzoneobst \
    aurobotservers/trunk
 
Remember to remove the last back-slash
 
==== RHD plugins Makefile ====
 
cd rhd/trunk/plugins
nano -w Makefile
 
In this section
 
PLUGINLIST := auserial gps crossbow fogyro hakocan smrdserial rflex \
              rs232linesensor powercube esm slugs usbiss sf9dof \
              joycontrol gdm8246 buspiratei2c buspiratead \

              smrarm rhdlog hexakopter gbprofibus roboteq gpsSocket \
              fieldsteer fielddrive fieldfrontenc \
              dynamixel cruizcore simstage3
 
Remove
gbprofibus
simstage3
 
==== Camera server libraries Makefile ====
 
goto AURS library
 
cd ~/mobotwareXXX/aurobotservers/trunk/libs/
nano -w Makefile
 
in this section
BASELIBS = ../include ../lib \
  ugen4 urob4 umap4 ucam4 \
  liblineext dglib freenect \
  aulibextractfeatures utils \
  ../src/ulmsserver
 
remove
freenect  (kinect library)
 
==== AURS application Makefile ====
 
Goto the ''src'' directory
 
cd mobotwareXXX/aurobotservers/trunk/src/
nano -w Makefile
 
Change line
 
apps = auclient  auservertest  ucamserver  uclient  ulmsserver  userver qclient
to
apps = auclient  auservertest  ucamserver  uclient  ulmsserver  userver
 
==== AURS plugin Makefile ====
 
Goto plugin directory
 
cd ~/mobotwareXXX/aurobotservers/trunk/plugin/
nano -w Makefile
 
in the section
 
plugins := auavoid auavoidk auball auballkl  audrivepos  augps    \
    aukeep    aulaserifscan      aupar    aurhdif  \
    austereo  auvarmrc  ucamif \

    aulaserbox aufzclass auviewer aupcp aupcltest auv4lgst \
    aucroprow  autof2    auptgrey \
    aulocalize
 
remove
aukinect (5th line)
auviewer aupcp aupcltest (11th line)
auptgray (12th line)
 
=== 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" ?>

=== Test Mobotware ===
 
==== RHD ====
 
Hardware abstraction layer (Robot Hardware Daemon)
 
Start RHD
 
rhd
 
It should end saying "RHD is running"
 
(Stops with ctrl-C)
 
==== MRC ====
 
Mobile Robot Control.
 
While the RHD is running (in another terminal)
 
start the MRC
 
cd ~/live
mrc
 
This should show a list of options
 
-press 5 to quit
 
==== Laser scanner server ====
 
Start laser scanner server
 
ulmsserver
 
There will be some errors as there is no laserscanner ...
 
Press enter a few times to get a prompt ">>"
 
Type
help
this should show a list of loaded plugins, like
 
...
Available commands (from currently loaded modules):
- push q server help shelp module do BASH alive quit exit
  - scanGet scanPush scanSet
- odoPose odoPosePush
- mapPose mapPosePush
- utmPose utmPosePush
- var varPush
- poly
- mapbase
- settable addline setinitpose setinitcov localizeMHF localize resetlocalizer outputdist odoposeupdate resample localizeUKF
...
 
Try e.g.
scanget fake=3
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
 
Camera_server 2.1966 (May  1 2015 13:42:21 jca@oersted.dtu.dk)
- on port 24920
- type h for help, q for quit

Back to Flexbot


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.

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

Add boot-files to SD card

RPI imager

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

snap install rpi-imager
rpi-imager

and follow the screen

manual

or

Get the install zip-file from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/noobs/

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)

Reboot

  • Insert SD card on Raspberry,
  • Mount a heatsink - especially needed on version 4,
  • Connect monitor, keyboard and (USB) power

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/

  • Boot the raspberry and install the Raspberry Pi OS full (Debian).
  • On the bottom of the screen select keyboard layout and language,

Settings

  • 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.

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)
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)

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.

Configure

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)

Update operating system

Ensure you have internet access, then

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo reboot
