Quickstart

Currently, we only support build with QCLINUX SDK.

  1. Setup QCLINUX SDK: Environment setup

  2. Create ros_ws directory in <qirp_decompressed_workspace>/qirp-sdk/

    mkdir -p <qirp_decompressed_workspace>/qirp-sdk/ros_ws

  3. Clone this repository and dependencies under <qirp_decompressed_workspace>/qirp-sdk/ros_ws

    git clone https://github.com/qualcomm-qrb-ros/qrb_ros_system_monitor.git

  4. Build projects

    export AMENT_PREFIX_PATH="${OECORE_TARGET_SYSROOT}/usr;${OECORE_NATIVE_SYSROOT}/usr"
export PYTHONPATH=${PYTHONPATH}:${OECORE_TARGET_SYSROOT}/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages

colcon build --merge-install --cmake-args \
   -DPython3_ROOT_DIR=${OECORE_TARGET_SYSROOT}/usr \
   -DPython3_NumPy_INCLUDE_DIR=${OECORE_TARGET_SYSROOT}/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/numpy/core/include \
   -DPYTHON_SOABI=cpython-310-aarch64-linux-gnu -DCMAKE_STAGING_PREFIX=$(pwd)/install \
   -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$(pwd)/install/share \
   -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF

  5. Run

    cd <qirp_decompressed_workspace>/qirp-sdk/ros_ws/install
tar czvf qrb_ros_system_monitor.tar.gz lib share
scp qrb_ros_system_monitor.tar.gz root@[ip-addr]:/opt/
ssh ssh root@[ip-addr]
(ssh) tar -zxf /opt/qrb_ros_system_monitor.tar.gz -C /opt/qcom/qirp-sdk/usr/
