Overview

The VxWorks 7 ROS 2 Build project provides a build environment to automate building ROS 2 with a VxWorks SDK.

The Robot Operating System 2 is a set of software libraries and tools that aid in building robot applications. ROS 2 is a re-architecture of the framework to include support for new use cases.

These new use cases include:

Teams of multiple robots
Small embedded platforms
Real-time systems
Non-ideal networks
Production environment
Design patterns for building and structuring systems

The default configuration build configuration will build a minimal set of ROS 2 packages are necessary for running the Turtlebot 3 and example Python and C++ applications.

This configuration is suited for prototyping and personal use. Please refer to the details of each ROS 2 package for details on what requirements and terms of use they may have.

NOTE: ROS 2 is not part of any VxWorks® product. If you need help, use the resources available or contact your Wind River sales representative to arrange for consulting services.

A corresponding branch is selected automatically based on the VxWorks and ROS 2 releases.

Build ROS 2 and its dependencies

Clone this repository using the `master` branch

git clone https://github.com/Wind-River/vxworks7-ros2-build.git
cd vxworks7-ros2-build

Build Docker image

A Docker (Ubuntu 22.04) based build is recommended to avoid the necessity of installing build dependencies.

docker build --no-cache -t vxbuild:22.04 Docker/22.04/vxbuild/.
docker build --no-cache -t vxros2build:humble Docker/22.04/vxros2build/.

docker build --no-cache --build-arg ROS_DISTRO=iron -t vxros2build:iron Docker/22.04/vxros2build/.
docker build --no-cache --build-arg ROS_DISTRO=rolling -t vxros2build:rolling Docker/22.04/vxros2build/.

wruser@vxros2:/work make
wruser@vxros2:/work exit

Build artifacts are in the export directory

wruser@vxros2:/work ls output/export/deploy/
bin  lib  share  vxscript

Rebuild from scratch

wruser@vxros2:/work make distclean
wruser@vxros2:/work make
wruser@vxros2:/work exit

It could be that the build fails if it runs behind the firewall, see #22. In this case, rerun it without a certificate check as

wruser@vxros2:/work WGET_OPT="--no-check-certificate -O" CURL="" make

Run ROS 2 examples

QEMU is used to boot VxWorks and run Python and C++ ROS 2 examples, for that tap0 interface shall be configured.

sudo apt-get install uml-utilities
sudo tunctl -u $USER -t tap0
sudo ifconfig tap0 192.168.200.254 up

The VxWorks ROS 2 build is tested with

$ sudo apt-get install qemu-system
$ qemu-system-x86_64 --version
QEMU emulator version 6.2.0 (Debian 1:6.2+dfsg-2ubuntu6.2)
Copyright (c) 2003-2021 Fabrice Bellard and the QEMU Project developers

A filesystem with ROS 2 artifacts needs to be prepared to boot with VxWorks.

Create an HDD image

Run x86_64 QEMU with a prebuilt VxWorks kernel and a created HDD image.

# create a disk 2048MB
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=./output/ros2.img count=2048 bs=1M
# format it as a FAT32
$ mkfs.vfat -F 32 ./output/ros2.img

# mount, copy, unmount, you need to be `sudo`
$ mkdir -p ~/tmp/mount
$ sudo mount -o loop -t vfat ./output/ros2.img ~/tmp/mount
$ sudo cp -r -L ./output/export/deploy/* ~/tmp/mount/.
$ sudo umount ~/tmp/mount

sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -m 2G -machine q35 -cpu Nehalem -kernel ~/Downloads/wrsdk/vxsdk/bsps/*/vxWorks \
-net nic -net tap,ifname=tap0,script=no,downscript=no -display none -serial mon:stdio \
-append "bootline:fs(0,0)host:/vxWorks h=192.168.200.254 e=192.168.200.1 g=192.168.200.254 u=ftp pw=ftp123 o=gei0 s=/ata0/vxscript" \
-device ich9-ahci,id=ahci -drive file=./output/ros2.img,if=none,id=ros2disk,format=raw -device ide-hd,drive=ros2disk,bus=ahci.0

The HDD image will be mounted inside VxWorks under the /usr directory

-> ls "/usr"
/usr/bin
/usr/lib
/usr/share
/usr/vxscript

Telnet to the VxWorks QEMU target

telnet 192.168.200.1

Raspberry Pi 4

Follow README to deploy VxWorks on the SDCard. Copy the content of the deploy directory to the '/usr' directory of the SDCard

$ sudo cp -r -L ./output/export/deploy/* /usr/.

Run ROS 2 C++ examples

It is possible to run examples by directly invoking binaries

-> cmd
[vxWorks *]# /usr/lib/examples_rclcpp_minimal_timer/timer_lambda
Launching process 'timer_lambda' ...
Process 'timer_lambda' (process Id = 0xffff80000046f070) launched.
[INFO] [minimal_timer]: Hello, world!
[INFO] [minimal_timer]: Hello, world!

Or by using the ros2cli interface

-> cmd
[vxWorks *]# python3 ros2 run examples_rclcpp_minimal_timer timer_lambda
Launching process 'python3' ...
Process 'python3' (process Id = 0xffff800008268ac0) launched.
[INFO] [minimal_timer]: Hello, world!
[INFO] [minimal_timer]: Hello, world!

Run ROS 2 Python examples

It is possible to run examples by directly invoking Python scripts. First, figure out the full path.

[vxWorks *]# python3 ros2 pkg executables --full-path demo_nodes_py
 Launching process 'python3' ...
 Process 'python3' (process Id = 0xffff80000046f070) launched.
/usr/lib/demo_nodes_py/add_two_ints_client
/usr/lib/demo_nodes_py/add_two_ints_client_async
/usr/lib/demo_nodes_py/add_two_ints_server
/usr/lib/demo_nodes_py/listener
/usr/lib/demo_nodes_py/listener_qos
/usr/lib/demo_nodes_py/listener_serialized
/usr/lib/demo_nodes_py/talker
/usr/lib/demo_nodes_py/talker_qos

Then invoke the Python interpreter and pass the script as a parameter

[vxWorks *]# python3 /usr/lib/demo_nodes_py/talker
[INFO] [talker]: Publishing: "Hello World: 0"
[INFO] [talker]: Publishing: "Hello World: 1"

Or by using the ros2cli interface

[vxWorks *]# python3 ros2 run demo_nodes_py talker
Launching process 'python3' ...
Process 'python3' (process Id = 0xffff800008269c00) launched.

[INFO] [talker]: Publishing: "Hello World: 0"
[INFO] [talker]: Publishing: "Hello World: 1"

Run SROS2 examples

Use Docker image to create keystore, keys, and certificates for the talker and listener nodes.

source /opt/ros/humble/setup.sh

ros2 security create_keystore demo_keystore
ros2 security create_enclave demo_keystore /talker_listener/talker
ros2 security create_enclave demo_keystore /talker_listener/listener

Copy directory demo_keystore to the deploy, and create ros2.img

cp demo_keystore output/deploy/.
make image

Start QEMU, enable security and run SROS2 example.

sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -m 2G -machine q35 -cpu Nehalem -kernel ~/Downloads/wrsdk/vxsdk/bsps/*/vxWorks \
-net nic -net tap,ifname=tap0,script=no,downscript=no -display none -serial mon:stdio \

VxWorks ROS 2 development

The following example shows how to develop and run ROS 2 package called my_package under VxWorks. It is recommended to prototype it first under the native ROS 2 build environment that contains the same ROS 2 version as a VxWorks one. After the package is developed and tested, it can be copied and compiled under VxWorks ROS 2 build environment.

Step 1: create and test a new ROS 2 package under the native ROS 2 build environment

Follow the procedure of how to prepare native ROS 2 build environment.
Create a new ROS 2 package

wruser@ros2native:/work$ cd ros2_native/src
wruser@ros2native:/work/ros2_native/src$ source ../install/setup.bash
wruser@ros2native:/work/ros2_native/src$ ros2 pkg create --build-type ament_cmake my_package
going to create a new package
package name: my_package
destination directory: /work/ros2_ws/src
package format: 3
version: 0.0.0
description: TODO: Package description
maintainer: ['wruser <[email protected]>']
licenses: ['TODO: License declaration']
build type: ament_cmake
dependencies: []
creating folder ./my_package
creating ./my_package/package.xml
creating source and include folder
creating folder ./my_package/src
creating folder ./my_package/include/my_package
creating ./my_package/CMakeLists.txt

Create my_package.cpp file

wruser@ros2native:/work/ros2_native/src$ cd my_package/src
wruser@ros2native:/work/ros2_native/src/my_package/src$ cat > my_package.cpp <<EOF
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
  cout << "Hello World!" << endl;
  return 0;
}
EOF

Modify CMakeLists.txt to build my_package

Add the following lines to the CMakeLists.txt before if(BUILD_TESTING)

add_executable(my_package src/my_package.cpp)

install(TARGETS
  my_package
  DESTINATION lib/${PROJECT_NAME}
)

You can use sed for it.

wruser@ros2native:/work/ros2_native/src/my_package$ sed -i '/find_package(<depen/aadd_executable(my_package src/my_package.cpp)\ninstall(TARGETS\n  my_package\n  DESTINATION lib/\${PROJECT_NAME}\n)' CMakeLists.txt

Build my_package

wruser@ros2native:/work/ros2_native/src/my_package$ cd ../..
wruser@ros2native:/work/ros2_native$ colcon build --merge-install --packages-up-to my_package

Run my_package

wruser@ros2native:/work/ros2_native$ source install/setup.bash
wruser@ros2native:/work/ros2_native/install$ ros2 run my_package my_package
Hello World!

Step 2: Build and run a new ROS 2 package under VxWorks ROS 2 build environment

Start docker and copy my_package to the VxWorks ros2_ws workspace

$ docker run -ti -h vxros2 -v ~/Downloads/wrsdk:/wrsdk -v $PWD:/work vxros2build:humble
wruser@vxros2:/work$ cp -r ros2_native/src/my_package build/ros2/ros2_ws/src/.

Rebuild ROS 2 with my_package

wruser@vxros2:/work$ source /wrsdk/sdkenv.sh
wruser@vxros2:/work$ rm /work/build/.stamp/ros2.build
wruser@vxros2:/work$ PKG_PKGS_UP_TO=my_package DEFAULT_BUILD=ros2 make
wruser@vxros2:/work$ exit

Create ros2.img as described here and start QEMU

$ sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -m 2G -machine q35 -cpu Nehalem -kernel ~/Downloads/wrsdk/vxsdk/bsps/*/vxWorks \
-net nic -net tap,ifname=tap0,script=no,downscript=no -display none -serial mon:stdio \
-append "bootline:fs(0,0)host:/vxWorks h=192.168.200.254 e=192.168.200.1 g=192.168.200.254 u=ftp pw=ftp123 o=gei0 s=/ata0/vxscript" \
-device ich9-ahci,id=ahci -drive file=./output/ros2.img,if=none,id=ros2disk,format=raw -device ide-hd,drive=ros2disk,bus=ahci.0

Setup environment variables and run my_package

-> cmd
[vxWorks *]# python3 ros2 run my_package my_package
Launching process 'python3' ...
Process 'python3' (process Id = 0xffff80000036cb10) launched.
Hello World!
