On this This page we will guide you through the installation process of our Lab.Here are the stepsthe Lab:
- Install Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS.
https://ubuntu.com/download orhttps://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu or
https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-windows - Install updates running
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade - Create a folder called 'dev' in your home directory
Clone our cpm software repository into your 'dev'-folder by typing:
cd ~/dev Create the folder '~/dev' and open it in a terminal:
Code Block language bash cd ~ mkdir dev cd dev
Clone the CPM Lab software repository:
git.rwth-aachen.de/CPM/Project/Lab/software.gityou have to enter your git username and passwordCode Block language bash git clone https://
github.com/embedded-software-laboratory/cpm_lab software
- Prepare to run our installation script by getting a license.dat-file for the RTI DDS Connext Service (ask your supervisor if you are a student or get into contact with RTI). This is not required if you are running the eProsima version (which is not yet present in the master branch).
Run our script to install all necessary components. In the 'software'- folder you have just cloned you find 'install-script-for-ubuntu-setup.sh'.

What will it install? Unbuntu packages Unbuntu packages Joystick/ Gamepad Joystick/ Gamepad RTI DDS Connext or eProsima RTI DDS Connext or eProsima RTI ARM or eProsima ARM OpenCV 4.0 for the Indoor Positioning System Basler Pylon 5 for the Indoor Positioning System and lab camera Info title Change DDS Domain If you want to change the DDS Domain later,
go tochange the corresponding variable
DDS_DOMAIN
in /etc/profile.d/rti_connext_dds.sh.The following domain IDs are used in the CPM Lab:
Domain ID Purpose 21 Lab (main computer, NUCs, vehicles) 61-66 Student computers Info title Change RTI license file If you want to update your license file, change the file at: /opt/rti_connext_dds-6.0.0/rti_license.dat Reboot your computer or
open a new terminal and typecd ~/dev; source /etc/profile.d/rti_connext_dds.sh
Run the build script.
Info It will also clone the cpm library so keep your git username and password on handtitle Clones also cpm library PC.
Optional:
Setup MATLAB. As a student from RWTH, you can do this with a MathWorks account following these instructions.
For RTI DDS: Download the DDS Support Package for MATLAB and install the toolbox. The native DDS addon that ships with MATLAB versions from 2021a only supports Simulink. If you are going to code in MATLAB, install the corresponding package from the link.To use MATLAB with eProsima, look here.
Note Make sure to create a symbolic link to the MATLAB binary during or after the setup!
Run the build script.
