Hi guys,

Rather advanced stuff for a rookie question, but I'll give it a try and ask.
Has anybody here done cross compiling of ros packages?
The goals are:
1) to run ROS on roboard which is 32 bit i486 running linux.
2) to avoid compilation on the robot and do it on a workstation instead and deploy only binaries. WS is linux 64bit i686.

I see these options:
a) build all ros from source on my ws but for 32bits.
b) create a 32 bit virtual machine and do everything there.
c) have ros installation from roboard mapped into my workstation via sshfs and crosscompile only my ros-node.

There is some package called eros in groovy which could possibly help, but problem is that roboard can run only fuerte.

The only reasonable project I have found so far is humanoid by Taylor Veltrop which does compilation on the roboard itself. What is the experience of community with ros on roboard?

Thanks,
Janis.

Closing as too general for a concrete answer.
