The following domain IDs are used in the CPM Lab:

Domain ID	Purpose

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 PC.
Optional:
Setup MATLAB. As a student from RWTH, you can do this with a MathWorks account following these instructions.
Setup the RTI DDS Support from Matlab.
Note
Make sure to create a symbolic link to the MATLAB binary during or after the setup!
Run the build script.
full setup only simulation setup
Code Block
language bash
./build_all.bash

Code Block
language bash
./build_all.bash --simulation

Info

title	Troubleshooting

If you have problems during the building process, try starting over again with
Code Block
language bash
cd ~/dev/software/ git pull git clean -xdf ./build_all.bash
If you ever run build_all.bash as root , you might run into a lot of permission denied errors. You need to delete all files and folders that were created and rerun as your usual user.
If you recieve an error like "dds/someheader.h" not found, run the command "rtiddsgen", which should build the neccesarry cpp-files
If you recieve an error regarding timing issues of unittests, run
Code Block
language bash
git clean -xdf ./build_all.bash
again. This error occurs often in VM.
