I am wondering if it would be possible to get Kinect to work with Udoo board (Quad). I have found that there is now support for ROS+Udoo. Also saw a question asked about Xtion + Udoo but it would really be great if it could be possible for Kinect+Udoo. I wish someone could give some insights on this matter. Thanks.
If the Xtion works, the Kinect will probably work as well.
Most of the ARM boards I've seen aren't quite powerful enough to handle the bandwidth of the Kinect, but I think the i.MX6 in the Udoo can probably handle it. I think it's worth a try.
If you do give it a try, please let me know how it goes.
The combination of ROS+Kinect experience and ownership of an Udoo board will be difficult to find. I could probably come up with an answer in half a day if I had an Udoo, but I don't have the money or the time to experiment with all of the ARM boards on the market.
Small addition: According to an embedded board developer the USB controllers on those ARM boards are often another limiting factor. E.g. on some boards the same controller is in charge of handling both Ethernet and USB connections, what can significantly lowers the available bandwidth.
The Freescale i.MX6 has separate USB and gigabit ethernet controllers on-chip, so it should be more capable of high-bandwidth USB than most ARM boards. Udoo block diagram: http://www.udoo.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/UDOO_Block_Diagram_rel_1_1.pdf
Hi, the kinect now is working with the UDOO. I tested it in the UDOO quad. Just follow this steps:
