Mmm. Not the prettiest solution, but that could definitely work. I'll give it a go. Many thanks!

2017-10-27 11:30:31 -0500 marked best answer How do I remotely compile ROS node (inc cuda) using catkin_make for the Jetson TX1?

I have a Jetson TX1 running Ubuntu 16.04. I installed a pre-built version of ROS for ARM and I can catkin_make and run my personal ROS nodes on the device itself. I now want to extend these nodes to use cuda cores AND still use catkin_make AND be able to compile on any machine.

I cannot use the master build and run remote technique suggested my Nvidia (using their version of Eclipse) - as I want to carry on using catkin_make. However, I have managed to get my nodes and some dummy cuda code compiling with catkin_make on my x86 Ubuntu 16.04 desktop. So part way there.... But how do I cross compile just these personal nodes (ie. not recompile the whole of ROS) to run on the Jetson TX1?

Furthermore, how do I go about debugging with this build system?

Perhaps I'm even trying to use the wrong build architecture?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I mean between the two boards - so multithreading and gpu seems the way to go.

Oh - forgot to add. I have tried it on the TK1 and TX1 and not much improvement....

Ah - ok. Good to know - thanks. I'm going to stick with it a bit for now as we have bought a Bumblebee XB3.

:-) I suppose I could only compile it using catkin_make on the TX1 itself. But that is a bit rubbish, as when other peop

Thanks for that. Yes - I did most of this to get cuda code to compile with catkin_make on my x86 Ubuntu 16.04 desktop. H

A bit late - but I have had a similar problem. If you profile it, it only uses one of the four cores, and no gpu's. I wo
