Developer notes and resources for installing ROS on Raspberry Pi.
These notes are intended for developers. If you just want to install openag_brain we recommend visiting the openag_brain install page.
Things to Know
- Raspberry Pi Debian does not have binaries available for roscore,
ros_comm or dependencies.
- This means you have to build everything from source.
- There is a Ubuntu distro that can run on the Raspberry Pi. However, at the time of writing, we have opted to stick with Debian Jesse for the Raspberry Pi, since it is the “happy path” for most users.
