Turtlebot minimal.launch not working with Jetson TK1

Hi all

After re-flashing my Jetson TK1 to 21.4, installing ROS and Turtlebot per the wiki, minimal.launch no longer brings up the Turtlebot with the expected chime.

The last few lines I get before the system hangs is

process[turtlebot_laptop_battery-8]: started with pid [13498]

Looking inside the log file shows:

Previously I was able to run the Turtlebot with the Jetson with no issue even though there was a warning because the Jetson TK1 obviously doesn't have a battery. It looks like now some kind of shutdown signal is being sent when the BAT0 file isn't found. Has anyone experienced this?

Cheers

Will

Managed to solve this - not sure which step exactly was the fix but as I've been having trouble getting Turtlebot set up with the TK1 lately I've laid out the steps below in case anyone else is going through this process:

NB. Note that order here seems to be important

  1. Flash with Jetpack 2.2 (this is the 21.4 L4T) - make sure to uncheck the OpenCV installation, it's too new for ROS
  2. Perform the kernel tweaks needed to run the Realsense camera - even if you're not using it - ros-indigo-turtlebot & associated packages won't install without citing uvcvideo errors http://www.jetsonhacks.com/2016/06/20...
  3. Install ROS using the ROS for ARM scripts provided here https://github.com/jetsonhacks/instal... - make sure to do the network configuration http://wiki.ros.org/turtlebot/Tutoria...
  4. Then install Turtlebot the normal way http://wiki.ros.org/turtlebot/Tutoria...
  5. Then install the Grinch kernel https://github.com/jetsonhacks/instal...
  6. Make sure Kobuki is the only FTDI device plugged in and run the Kobuki udev setup http://wiki.ros.org/turtlebot/Tutoria...

This worked for me - Turtlebot/Jetson TK1 on L4T 21.4/ROS Indigo - not sure if I was having a udev issue, an issue with current draw from using the Jetsonhacks postFlash script which maxes CPU usage, or just made a configuration mistake. If I was braver I might try all this with Jetpack 3.0 and ROS Kinetic as dependencies are starting to become tricky with this setup - if anyone else has had success let me know!

What is the grinch kernel for exactly? Also, the link you posted is for version 21.3... not sure if it will work right on or need some adjustment.

Oh... after installing the grinch kernel I lost the UVCvideo module, so you can't really use this method with the r200 camera... I'm lost.
