Installing turtlebot software on beagleboard

Question

Hello I am trying to install turtlebot software on beagleboard so that i can use beagleboard rather then Laptop in turtlebot, its just a try to implement FASTSLAM1.0, I installed ubuntu and ROS on beagleboard from source, Is there any way to install Turtlebot from source. The particular error is:

W: Failed to fetch http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu/dists/natty/Release Unable to find >>expected entry 'main/binary-armel/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or >>malformed file)

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Is it good practise to use beagleboard on turtlebot instead of a high power and high processing laptop for implementing FASTSLAM1.0?

#Installing ROS Diamondback turtlebot-robot variant on BeagleBoard xM running Ubuntu 11.04 from Source
This is a work in progress and is only meant to supplement the existing TurtleBot tutorials.

Install Ubuntu packages on BeagleBoard xM

sudo apt-get install build-essential python-yaml cmake subversion wget python-setuptools mercurial

Install rosinstall

sudo easy_install -U rosinstall

Install ROS diamondback variant turtlebot-robot:

rosinstall ~/ros "http://packages.ros.org/cgi-bin/gen_rosinstall.py?rosdistro=diamondback&variant=turtlebot-robot&overlay=no"

Set up your environment.

echo "source ~/ros/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc

Use rosmake to build the various ROS and TurtleBot packages:

I am still working on the best way the make all the necessary packages.

You may want to install the following Ubuntu packages in advance:

sudo apt-get install python-serial libglut3-dev libcppunit-dev graphviz libxext-dev python-sip-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev unzip libxml2-dev python-wxgtk2.8 libqhull-dev libhdf5-serial-dev joystick libusb-1.0-0-dev flex autoconf libusb-dev automake bluez bison python-bluez libgtk2.0-dev libbluetooth-dev

Missing packages from Ubuntu natty arm repositories:

The openni-dev, ps-engine (I'm sure that there are others) packages are not currently available from Ubuntu natty arm repositories. Without these packages the Kinect does not work but you can drive the TurtleBot around using the keyboard or joystick.

WillowGarage is not building ARM debian packages, so you will have to install from source.

Brian, I'm still very interested. Which packages (openni-dev, ps-engine, nite-dev, turtlebot-robot and dependencies? Let me know if I can help.

We are working on binary ARM packages; stay tuned...

While installing from

rosinstall ~/ros "http://packages.ros.org/cgi-bin/gen_rosinstall.py?rosdistro=diamondback&variant=turtlebot-robot&overlay=no"

I got this error :

Installing http://svn.pointclouds.org/ros/tags/perception_pcl-0.10.0 to /home/turtlebot/ros/perception_pcl

svn: OPTIONS of 'http://svn.pointclouds.org/ros/tags/perception_pcl-0.10.0': Could not read

status line: Connection reset by peer (http://svn.pointclouds.org)

ERROR: Failed to install tree '/home/turtlebot/ros/perception_pcl' vcs not setup correctly

turtlebot@omap:~$ svn: Caught signal

Suggest some solution

woowww!!! Its like start installing in the morning and forget it untill evening, took more then 4 hours to completely install turtlebot software. :)

That's strange. Perhaps the SVN repository was not available when you tried. The SVN repository seems fine now. I would just try deleting and running rosinstall again.
