QUEST

One-time setup:

You'll need the submodules and dependencies, so clone like so:

git clone --recurse-submodules REPO_ADDRESS

Or, after cloning, run:

git submodule update --init --recursive 

To get the F’ dependencies on Ubuntu (all dependencies are available through Homebrew on Mac):

sudo apt-get install pkg-config g++ python-pip python-lxml python-tk python-dev

On all platforms (modify the pip command if you don’t want a global install)

sudo -H pip install -r Gse/bin/required.txt

Using with ROS (needed for SIMREF and SDREF)

Go to the ROS/fprime_ws folder, and build the workspace with your ROS environment sourced (tested with catkin):

catkin init
catkin build

Using without ROS

From the top directory of the repo, run:

touch ROS/fprime_ws/src/fprime/mod.mk

Installing command dictionaries

For a particular deployment (e.g. SDREF, HEXREF), go to that folder and run make dict_install

Then, run touch Gse/generated/DEPLOYMENT/serializable/ROS/__init__.py See quest-fw#3

SDREF: High-level processor deployment

• Acts as a shim to transport data to and from low-level processor
• Interfaces with ROS and F' ground station
• On Snapdragon Flight, loads HEXREF onto DSP and interfaces with that code
• On any Linux environment, interfaces to low-level processor over two UARTS (one data and one debug)

To set up a new installation, download Flight_3.1.3_qrlSDK.tgz from Intrinsyc and qualcomm_hexagon_sdk_lnx_3_0_eval.bin from Qualcomm, and place in cross_toolchain/downloads.

Run ./bootstrap.bash from the top level of the repository. This will set up the Hexagon toolchain using install.sh from cross_toolchain, install all required dependencies, create a Linaro Indigo ARM sysroot and install ROS in it using proot for later cross-compilation include and link steps.

R5REF: TI TMS570 deployment

Tested on Linux and Mac with TI Code Composer Studio version 8.1.0, with ARM compiler version 18.1.2

SIMREF: Simulation deployment (works with RotorS from ETH)

To build the simulation example, go to the SIMREF folder, and run the following:

make gen_make
make

Then, you can run the executable like so (after starting ROS master):

ROS_NAMESPACE=firefly ./linux-linux-x86-debug-gnu-bin/SIMREF

When you start the RotorS (https://github.com/ethz-asl/rotors_simulator) firefly example, SIMREF will use the /clock message to carry out control cycles. This parallels what happens on hardware targets, where the IMU data-ready interrupt triggers the estimation and control loops.

Works out of the box with https://github.com/genemerewether/ethzasl_sensor_fusion for testing high-level filter updates, but can be easily adapted to simulated sensors in Gazebo. Just run additional ROS nodes as necessary, and remap the pose or position sensor topics of the sensor fusion packages. Or, publish the mav_msgs/ImuStateUpdate message (see the mav_msgs submodule of this repo) from an appropriate filter.
