As the title says, I'm trying to get fpasteau's raspicam_node working on my Raspberry Pi B+. After 3 days I finally got all of the dependencies resolved and catkin_make completes successfully.

Now when I go and try to run the raspicam_node using

 rosrun raspicam raspicam_node

with or without any parameters I just get a cryptic illegal instruction message:

 /home/pi/ros_catkin_ws/devel/bin/rosrun: line 4: Illegal instruction   
 "/home/pi/ros_catkin_ws/src/ros/rosbash/scripts/rosrun" "@"

I've looked all over the place but haven't found anything that is helpful. The most I've found is some people suggesting an issue with OpenCV. I had to compile and install OpenCV 2.4.9 from source on the Pi (took 15 hours) because it only had version 2.4.1 on it to begin with and catkin would get hung up while making it saying something along the lines of stuff not being defined in cv.h.

The other nodes that I wrote still run fine, just the raspicam_node won't work.

Any ideas?

Thanks -Matt

may I ask which version of ROS you are using?

I'm running Indigo

I just saw the link you have mentioned, It seems this package was built with Groovy in consideration (check README.md file) . I could manage only bare bones version of Indigo. However, I'll give this package a try n let u know

I saw that too, but I'd be surprised if Indigo vs Groovy causes the illegal instruction.

probably you are right, I am able to run the node on groovy (@90 fps too). have you built the userland source code? I ask because, the README.md file does not mention anything on building this code. I guess that you might have missed this step and you are not able to find the right binaries.

MKI ( 2014-12-01 07:08:35 -0600 )edit

I know I remember doing something with userland, but I don't know that I ever actually got it on the pi. I'll see about getting it setup.

Thanks

Well I don't think I have userland installed on the pi. I downloaded it and cross compiled it on my desktop like the github page said, but I haven't had any luck getting it on the pi yet.

that_guy318 ( 2014-12-01 21:38:59 -0600 )edit

well, I don't know why you have to cross compile this code? you can just copy/download it into you Pi, and cd userland and ./buildme in your pi's terminal. it takes around 45 mins to build. and then following the README.md you should be able to rosrun it, Also please mind its on groovy nt Indigo

Illegal instruction errors usually indicate that you're either using binaries that aren't compiled for your CPU, or you aren't passing the right flags to compiler, so it's producing binaries that aren't compatible with your system.

It sounds like most of the software that you're running was compiled from source, so it's unlikely that it's built for the wrong architecture.

Since you're using Indigo, you should be able to run your node in a debugger easily:

rosrun --prefix 'gdb -ex run --args' raspicam raspicam_node

And that will at least tell you which library contains the illegal instructions. From there, you can track down the source of that library and try to figure out why it contains illegal instructions.

I'll definitely check that out. Probably won't be able to look at it until tomorrow though.
Thanks

So that doesn't really give anything useful when it runs. It just says no debugging symbols found.

you have to type run at the gdb prompt to actually run your program.

ahendrix ( 2014-12-01 21:49:56 -0600 )edit

I've updated my answer so that gdb runs your program automatically.

ahendrix ( 2014-12-01 22:01:02 -0600 )edit

Ok, so it's /usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libyaml-cpp.so.0.5 causing the issue apparently

that_guy318 ( 2014-12-01 22:15:09 -0600 )edit

yaml-cpp is usually a system dependency. Did you get your copy of it from somewhere other than apt?

ahendrix ( 2014-12-01 22:26:17 -0600 )edit

I think I might have installed the version 0.5 from elsewhere because it wasn't happy about the version 0.3 already installed.

that_guy318 ( 2014-12-01 22:43:39 -0600 )edit

I just uninstalled version 0.5 and reinstalled version 0.3 from the repos and now catkin won't compile fully. It's throwing all kinds of errors about things not being as expected in YAML.
