Its long-term goal is to become a hardened, efficient and highly portable implementation of the ROS middleware (including future evolutions of it), making it a good choice for use in industrial applications or product development. rosc is based on a modular concept, enabling the developer to select or add the platform support he needs. A rosc node is assembled by the rosc core package which contains the basic communication structure, support packages for each platform (operating systems / bare-metal systems (AVR, ARM, XMOS etc.)) as well as communication packages for bare-metal systems which contain the handling functions for several communication interfaces. Efficiency of rosc is driven and maintained by a bare-metal, low-memory reference scenario. For bare-metal systems each memory storage is allocated at compile time. This means that the user must define a maximum array length for messages with undefined arrays (as an example from a msg file: uint8t array[]). On systems with an operating system this is not necessary because the memory for the array will be allocated at runtime. Essential features: * XMLRPC communication * HTTP/XML parser * XMLRPC message generator * Port interface handling (services, topics, XMLRPC) * ROS message (msg-File) header/source generation * TCPROS (un-)marshalling Planned future extensions: * Transport layer independency * Realtime capability * Development debugging features * Compiler optimization packages * special size optimizations * using special pragmas (like pack) * Multimaster/masterless concept == Development Status == rosc is available as '''alpha''', and still under heavy development. You can try out the alpha under Linux now.
