TIDEP-01006: work with IWR6843ISK ES2.0 and Ubuntu 16.04 ROS Kinetic

Part Number: TIDEP-01006
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR6843ISK, , IWR1843, IWR6843AOP

Hi,

I want to connect IWR6843ISK ES2.0 to AM572x EVM to run ROS demo. The latest ROS driver demo in mmWave industrial toolbox 4.2 is using Ubuntu 16.04 ROS Kinetic.

In TIDEP-01006, I found it uses Ubuntu 14.04 ROS indigo.

Is it ok to use Ubuntu 16.04 ROS Kinetic as Linux box to work with AM572x EVM ROS indigo?

I can't 100% follow the guide of TIDUEK9D for Linux box. Below are some difference.

1. I only copied description.launch from AM572x filesystem to Linux box. It seems others are already in Linux box when I am trying ROS demo in mmWave industrial toolbox.

What's the usage to run "roslaunch turtlebot_bringup description.launch" in Linux box?

2. As I am using IWR6843ISK ES2.0, I followed the two steps in 3.2.2.1.2 IWR6843AOP, IWR1843 or updating to the Latest SDK of TIDUEK9D. I am updating the code in ti_mmwave_ros_map_nav_v1p5.tar.gz.

I can't get right serial port feedback when I ran below command.

"roslaunch turtlebot_bringup minimal.launch mmwave_device:=6843ISK"

Would you pls kindly check if I miss anything? Have you ever run the demo ok with AM572x EVM+IWR6843ISK ES2.0? Would you pls kindly share you setup and steps?

    Hi,

    The demo should work with ROS kinetic on the Linux machine. I recommend following the instructions in the guide since that is what have tested and known to work. 

    Did you follow the steps in section 3.2.1.2.2 AM572x EVM Running Processor SDK Linux?

    Charles,

    I did more tests during these days.

    The incorrect serial port feedback is due to mmwave HW issue. Now I can make the demo works with AM57x EVM+IWR6843ISK ES2.0 + ubuntu 14.04 Linux box.

    I still want to try Linux box with ubuntu 16.04, but after I ran "roslaunch turtlebot_bringup description.launch" in ubuntu 16.04 PC, I found it can't find the ros core service on AM57 (no related log print out). Pls find detail below.

    As I mentioned in previous post, I copied the description.launch from AM57 file system which is for ros indigo. Is there any change need to do in description.launch file for ros kinetic?

    I don't understand the question. why are yu looking for roscore service of the AM57 on ubuntu. When you SSH into the AM57, its the same as entering the commands directly on the AM57

    Can you please elaborate?
