MATLAB: Can we use the option of creating standalone ROS node in ROS toolbox to build nodes on NVIDIA Drive PX2 hardware

Question

Hi,

I recently found that using ROS Toolbox, I can create standalone ROS nodes from MATLAB/Simulink. From what I understand, the code is generated on the MATLAB host system and transferred to the ROS system where it is built and executed. Can this process be used on a NVIDIA Drive PX2 if ROS is running on it? Or does it require additional steps?

Best Regards,

Answer 1

Yes, you may deploy ROS node on Nvidia DrivePX2 board, provided ROS is running on the board. You just need to specify the Hardware board as ROS and configure the device parameters. Please refer to the image attached.

Hope this helps!
