Setup Eclipse Leda on Jetson Nano (Testing)

[bs-jokri]

After successfully getting Eclipse Leda running in QEmu, the next step is to build (or download if already available) an Eclipse Leda image, which runs on the Jetson nano. The created Eclipse Leda image needs to be installed on the Jetson Nano.

Depends on: #44

Tasks:

• Try initial setup
• Create a list of upcoming issues
  (- Meeting with DEV and Troubleshooting)

Epic: #10

Current OS: Pi Racer
Tasks: Flush and run Leda

There might be some useful information inside this issue: eclipse-leda/leda-distro#49

Also, it may be a good point to ask for updates to the the Leda on Jetson topic.

[cpotter302]

Update:

• Pi Racer OS tested by @km-nerlich and running
• Leda distro moved to SD Card
• Leda started on Raspberry PI and basic commands are running

Further Steps:

• Evaluate further questions with DEV (docs, etc.)

[cpotter302]

There exists already work on running Leda on Jetson Racer:

eclipse-leda/leda-distro#49
eclipse-leda/leda-distro#65

This can be used as a starting point for further investigations. However, as I have understood this work is still WIP and not working as of now.

@martinh-dev please document your findings in our confluence including error traces and current status
A ticket that will stick on these tasks will be created

Building the Image is now working. But running on the Jetson Nano leads to a reboot loop. We have to wait for the Leda developers at this point.

Enable debug options to find out why the boot up is failing, contact DEV

@martinh-dev @max-grzanna what is the status here? Are you working on that? Maybe add some notes as a comment to the ticket and adjust status, if new results are present already.

@bs-jokri We made some further investigations and came to the conclusion, that it would be the best option, to stick with the PiRacer OS or some image provided by Nvidia. In fact, PiRacer OS is based on Raspbian and should support installing packages via apt get.

We have not found any log files on the flashed SD-card (maybe it would be helpful to ask the leda team for some hints regarding log levels or some form of debugging)

The following image might be helpful in order to understand the problem:

Some other details we stumbled upon was that there are actually two kinds of images for the jetson nano platform: the "Jetson Nano Dev kit" one and an image for "Jetson Nano 2GB Dev kit". Maybe we have picked the wrong one while configuring the build?
Furthermore, there are still some leftover Raspberry Pi configuration files on the boot drive after flashing the Leda image and the flash generated two separate volumes.

[martinh-dev]

Our current workaround is to use an other Linux based OS with a package handler, to be able to install Kanto on it. we tried to official Ubuntu images from Nvidia for the Jetson Nano, but we also encountered an error. Our next step is to use the JetRacer OS again, which worked on our initial tests.

We will not continue with the setup for leda (for now) and will continue with #75
