Installing ROS Noetic on Raspberry Pi 4

Hello Everyone. I've been trying to install ROS Noetic on Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) from source but it was like a nightmare. Finally, I was able to install it and I want to share it with you.

Steps:

$ sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'

Normalize volume level with PulseAudio and simultaneous output

This should work conceptually on any Linux OS with PulseAudio but these particular instructions are for Ubuntu. There are two major reasons for using simultaneous output. The first is self-evident - we can output to say a bluetooth headset and wired headphones at the same time to enable two people to watch a movie with headphones on a single computer. The second reason is a sort of a convenience for setup. We know the simultaneous sink name so the default.pa config would work without modification so long as simultaneous output is enabled. If we were to set this up without that, we'd have to customize the config with our specific device sink name. That's totally doable but personally I always setup simultaneous output. That's why I haven't described the alternative in this gist.

I successfully created a project instantiating the HPS in Qsys. I added a parallel I/O in Qsys to allow the HPS to communicate with the LEDs via the HPS-to-FPGA lightweight bus. From there, I generated a preloader and U-boot along with the SOF file. I also wrote a simple C program that counts from 0-15 and sets the LEDs to that value every second. This encompasses about every step required to be able to communicate between the FPGA and HPS, so this is definitely a first step. I'm going to document what I did and how you guys can get this running.

I did this on Windows since that is my primary OS. Things are different on Linux, so you will have to figure them out if you try to do this on Linux.

File Structure

DE10NanoUART-FPGA

• Project containing everything necessary to get exactly what I have running
• HPS_FPGA_LED - Source code and makefile for the C program to blink LEDs
• hps_isw_handoff - ISW stands for Initial SoftWare so it is the first thing to be ran AFTER the hardcoded bootrom is loa

This is a very simple HTTP server for Unix, using fork(). It's very easy to use

How to use

1. include header httpd.h
2. write your route method, handling requests.
3. call serve_forever("12913") to start serving on port 12913
