ROS natively on the iRobot Create Command Module
Hi,
Does anyone know if it's possible to run ROS natively (i.e. cross compiled) on the Command Module for iRobot Create?
thanks,
Nick

There is not a native release of ROS for 8-bit platforms, so a native executable for the command module is not available.
It is highly unlikely that ROS will ever target a platform that constrained, since most of the focus is on higher-level research.
There are several libraries available for communicating with the iRobot from ROS though. You can check out everything available on the Robots for ROS - Roomba Page.
As @mjcarroll said ROS is not designed to run at the level of 8 bit microcontrollers, communications are abstracted at an IP level which most microcontrollers don't have available.
There are several driver stacks for the iRobot Create icreate, turtlebot, and irobot_create to name a few from a search of indexed ROS repositories.
