Preparing a Cross-Compilation Sysroot

  • installing arm64 Debian dependencies with qemu-chroot 
    export SYSROOT=~/nvidia/nvidia_sdk/DRIVE_Software_10.0_Linux_OS_DDPX/DRIVEOS/drive-t186ref-linux/targetfs_a
cd $SYSROOT
 
sudo apt-get install qemu-user-static
sudo cp /usr/bin/qemu-aarch64-static usr/bin/
sudo cp -ib /etc/resolv.conf etc
sudo mount -o bind /dev dev
sudo mount -o bind /proc proc
sudo mount -o bind /sys sys

sudo LC_ALL=C chroot .
# apt-get update
# apt-get install libboost-all-dev libtinyxml-dev libtinyxml2-dev liblz4-dev libbz2-dev libapr1 libaprutil1 libconsole-bridge-dev libpoco-dev libgpgme-dev python-defusedxml python-rospkg python-catkin-pkg python-netifaces liblog4cxx-dev
# exit

sudo umount sys proc dev 
sudo rm usr/bin/qemu-aarch64-static
sudo mv etc/resolv.conf~ etc/resolv.conf
sudo rm -rf var/lib/apt/lists/*
sudo rm -rf dev/*
sudo rm -rf var/log/*
sudo rm -rf var/tmp/*
sudo rm -rf var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb
sudo rm -rf tmp/*

Fixing Broken Symlinks

  • When dependencies are installed with qemu-chroot, the root file system may contain symlinks similar to the following: /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libXXXX.so -> /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libXXXX.so.versio.no. These symlinks resolve on the arm64 platform but are broken on the host system. Attempts to link libXXXX.so are unsuccessful.To correct broken symlinks
  • The broken symlinks can be fixed temporarily with overlays, using commands similar to the following: 
    sudo mkdir /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu
sudo mkdir /tmp/ros-cc-overlayfs
sudo mount -t overlay -o lowerdir=$SYSROOT/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu,upperdir=/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu,workdir=/tmp/ros-cc-overlayfs overlay /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu

Downloading Sources

  • ROS Bare Bone source code can be downloaded from the upstream repositories using the python utilities python-rosinstall-generator and python-wstool.
  • To install python-rosinstall-generator and python-wstool 
    sudo sh -c 'echo \
"deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver 'hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80' --recv-key C1CF6E31E6BADE8868B172B4F42ED6FBAB17C654
sudo apt-get update

sudo apt install python-rosdep python-rosinstall-generator python-wstool python-rosinstall build-essential python-empy libgtest-dev
  • To download the source code 
    mkdir $HOME/ros_catkin_ws && cd $HOME/ros_catkin_ws
rosinstall_generator ros_comm --rosdistro melodic --deps --tar > melodic-ros_comm.rosinstall
wstool init -j8 src melodic-ros_comm.rosinstall

Invoking the Cross Compiler

  • create Toolchain-V5L.cmake with below content for cross compilation 
    set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Linux)
# Specify the cross compiler 
set(TOOLCHAIN "$ENV{HOME}/nvidia/nvidia_sdk/DRIVE_Software_10.0_Linux_OS_DDPX/DRIVEOS/toolchains/gcc-linaro-7.3.1-2018.05-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu")                                              
set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER "${TOOLCHAIN}/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-g++")
set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER "${TOOLCHAIN}/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc")
# Targetfs path 
set(ROS_SYSROOT "$ENV{HOME}/nvidia/nvidia_sdk/DRIVE_Software_10.0_Linux_OS_DDPX/DRIVEOS/drive-t186ref-linux/targetfs_a")
# Library paths 
set(LD_PATH "${ROS_SYSROOT}/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu")
set(LD_PATH_EXTRA "${ROS_SYSROOT}/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu")
# setup compiler for cross-compilation 
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS           "-fPIC"               CACHE STRING "c++ flags")
set(CMAKE_C_FLAGS             "-fPIC"               CACHE STRING "c flags")
set(CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS ""                    CACHE STRING "shared linker flags")
set(CMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS ""                    CACHE STRING "module linker flags")
set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS    ""                    CACHE STRING "executable linker flags")
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH ${ROS_SYSROOT})
# Set compiler flags 
set(CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS   "--sysroot=${CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH} -L${LD_PATH} -L${LD_PATH_EXTRA} -Wl,-rpath,${LD_PATH} -Wl,-rpath,${LD_PATH_EXTRA} -Wl,-rpath,${LD_PATH} -Wl,-rpath,${LD_PATH_EXTRA} ${CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS}")
set(CMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS   "--sysroot=${CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH} -L${LD_PATH} -L${LD_PATH_EXTRA} -Wl,-rpath,${LD_PATH} -Wl,-rpath,${LD_PATH_EXTRA} -Wl,-rpath,${LD_PATH} -Wl,-rpath,${LD_PATH_EXTRA} ${CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS}")

set(CMAKE_C_FLAGS "-fPIC --sysroot=${CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH} -fpermissive -g" CACHE INTERNAL "" FORCE)
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "-fPIC --sysroot=${CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH} -fpermissive -g" CACHE INTERNAL "" FORCE)
# Search for programs only in the build host directories 
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PROGRAM NEVER)
# Search for libraries and headers only in the target directories 
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_LIBRARY ONLY)
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_INCLUDE ONLY)

# set system default include dir
include_directories(BEFORE SYSTEM ${VIBRANTE_PDK}/include)
  • To cross-compile ROS 
    ./src/catkin/bin/catkin_make_isolated --install -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=<Toolchain-V5L.cmake file path>
  • After cross-compilation is complete, revert the overlayfs mount with the following commands: 
    sudo umount /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu
sudo rm -rf /tmp/ros-cc-overlayfs

Verifying

  • scp ~/ros_catkin_ws/install_isolated directory to the target and refer to http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials to further verification.

Dear VickNV,

Thank you for your kind guidance, it’s very helpful for me. After the step of “Preparing a Cross-Compilation Sysroot” and “Fixing Broken Symlinks”, I tried to install ROS Melodic using the following command sudo apt install ros-melodic-desktop instead of using python, folloing error of unmet dependencies was encountered. BTW, my host PC has installed DRIVE Software 10.0 via SDK Manager.

sophia@ZBook:~/nvidia/nvidia_sdk/DRIVE_Software_10.0_Linux_OS_E3550/DRIVEOS/drive-t186ref-linux/targetfs_a$ sudo apt install ros-melodic-desktop

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 ros-melodic-desktop : Depends: ros-melodic-common-tutorials but it is not going to be installed
                       Depends: ros-melodic-geometry-tutorials but it is not going to be installed
                       Depends: ros-melodic-robot but it is not going to be installed
                       Depends: ros-melodic-ros-tutorials but it is not going to be installed
                       Depends: ros-melodic-urdf-tutorial but it is not going to be installed
                       Depends: ros-melodic-visualization-tutorials but it is not going to be installed
                       Depends: ros-melodic-viz but it is not going to be installed

As for the error, I have tried several methods to solve it,like update package, all didn’t work. But when I tried to install ROS Melodic in emulated Root command line, no errors similar with upper unmet dependencies occur. I feel confused and want to figure it out what the difference is. And if there’s better method to solve the unmet dependencies problem.

Hi pan.zhang,

Is this issue caused by the cross compilation steps here or just a ROS installation issue?

If it’s a ros installation issue, could you search ROS community sites to see if any discussion is related to this issue? Thanks!

4

I have the same issue as pan.zhang – I can’t install ROS melodic or any of its dependencies while in the chroot.

Also, the /etc/apt/sources.list inside targetfs_a is empty, so I’m not sure how apt-get would be able to find any dependencies anyway.

I don’t think this is a ROS installation issue because of the empty sources.list, and because I could install ROS melodic just fine on my host machine.

Do you have any updates on this process?

5

Hi evanmt03s,

Why do you need to install ROS melodic in chroot? This topic is about source installation of cross compilation. You can scp them to the target after cross compiling. Thanks!

6

I may have been trying to do something that wasn’t required.

But this command (run in chroot):

apt-get install libboost-all-dev libtinyxml-dev libtinyxml2-dev liblz4-dev libbz2-dev libapr1 libaprutil1 libconsole-bridge-dev libpoco-dev libgpgme-dev python-defusedxml python-rospkg python-catkin-pkg python-netifaces liblog4cxx-dev

also fails. apt-get can’t find these packages.

How should I proceed?

Thanks!

7

The file isn’t empty on my side. Could you help to check?

~/nvidia/nvidia_sdk/DRIVE_Software_10.0_Linux_OS_E3550/DRIVEOS/drive-t186ref-linux/targetfs_a/etc/apt/sources.list

These are the contents of that file now – I was just finishing a fresh install of the DriveWorks target tools after previous failures, which must be why it’s no longer empty:

@VickNV

On my fresh SDK Drive AGX install. I notice I dont have the DRIVE_Software_10.0_Linux_OS_E3550 but I do have the DRIVE_Software_10.0_Linux_OS_DDPX folder which matches the same contents.

Going further down on the procedure. I am getting the following messages:

Can you advise if the folder is correct and what could be causing the error on QEMU?

12

I haven’t seen the messages before. Is it due to “root” running with “sudo”?

13

@VickNV

I tried without sudo and got same output:

/bin/mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu’: File exists
root@obelisk:/# mkdir /tmp/ros-cc-overlayfs

mount: /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu: mount(2) system call failed: Too many levels of symbolic links.

Following with ROS steps: got also another error:

Not sure if it is related to QEMU or mounting procedure. Can you advise?

14

Without “sudo”, you don’t see messages like “Unknown host QEMU_IFLA type: 50” anymore, right?

I haven’t seen the issue before. Please try with run all the steps in my initial post with non root user (using sudo as my command lines) and “export SYSROOT=~/nvidia/nvidia_sdk/DRIVE_Software_10.0_Linux_OS_DDPX/DRIVEOS/drive-t186ref-linux/targetfs_a” (matching your path after DRIVE Software 10.0 installation).

15

Correct. Without sudo I don’t see the QEMU_XXX messages anymore. I am going to try again the steps in couple systems where the SDK is installed and provide feedback.

16

@VickNV

I tried in a different system and got the same results. Can you advise?

Attaching log file with the stepsnvidia_ros.log (99.6 KB)

17

Thanks for sharing more complete log.

Only the three command lines need to be run in chroot. It seems you missed “exit”.

18

@VickNV

That’s correct. I missed the exit command. I also modified the cross compiler CMAKE file to get the correct path to the toolchain.

19

@VickNV

I tried to start another cross-compilation attempt on a third system but I am getting an error related " cannot find -lpthreads". I grep the source and I couldn’t find anything that points to directly use -lpthreads.so .

Attaching CMAKE error log but wondering what could change since my previous attempt which worked fine.

CMakeError.log (5.9 KB)

From the above steps, the last one throws this:

jvilela@soads-gpu-4:/opt/nvidia/nvidia_sdk/DRIVE_Software_10.0_Linux_OS_DDPX/DRIVEOS/drive-t186ref-linux/targetfs_a$ sudo mount -t overlay -o lowerdir=$SYSROOT/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu,upperdir=/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu,workdir=/tmp/ros-cc-overlayfs overlay /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu
mount: /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on overlay, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.

20

Hi @jpvans,

Could you refer to your previous setup system to figure out this? I believe it will be more efficient to solve the problem.

21

@VickNV

The issue was related how the folders/partitions are mounted on my system. the upperdir and workdir should reside on the same mount location.

After fixing that, it is all good.
