Build

• Add path to bblayers.conf
• Add to "IMAGE_INSTALL_append" of core-image-elphel393.bb:

ros2-demo-nodes-cpp \
ros2topic \
ros2msg \
ros2run \

Notes:

• Is this a required minimum?
• ROS_USE_PYTHON3 = "yes" no effect? It already uses python3?

1. Test Talker and Listener

• SSH session 1:

root@elphel393:~# export AMENT_PREFIX_PATH=/usr
root@elphel393:~# ros2 run demo_nodes_cpp talker

• SSH session 2:

root@elphel393:~# export AMENT_PREFIX_PATH=/usr
root@elphel393:~# ros2 run demo_nodes_cpp listener

Notes:

• If AMENT_PREFIX_PATH is not set then:
