5.1.1 Environment Setup

TogetheROS.Bot supports installation on the RDK with Ubuntu 20.04/22.04 system. Installing through DEB packages on Ubuntu system is simple and recommended for users who want to experience it initially.

Next, we will introduce the environment setup details for RDK.

RDK​

System Installation​

Before installing tros.b, it is recommended to upgrade the RDK system image to the latest version:

Ubuntu Image Flashing Method

Note
  • If you are using RDK X3 with a 1.x version system installed, you need to upgrade the system to version 2.x.
  • For the system version number checking method and detailed instructions, please refer to FAQs

If the image has already been installed, you can complete the upgrade using the commands sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade.。

Note

If the sudo apt update command fails or reports an error, please refer to the Q10: How to handle apt update command failure or errors? section in the FAQs Q10: What to do if `apt update` fails (e.g., key error, update failure, lock file in use)?

Configuration​

After successfully burning the image, you need to configure the IP address of the RDK. The login username is "root" and the password is "root".

Note

To facilitate the smooth installation and use of tros.b later, please log in with the root account.

In the experience and development process, it is often necessary to access the RDK through commands such as scp/ssh using the IP address. Therefore, it is recommended to use dynamic configuration, as described in Network Configuration

Try to ping Baidu server:

The normal return of the "ping" command indicates that both internet access and DNS configuration are correct.

Upgrade the system image and source information: sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade

Test SSH: ssh root@RDK IP address. Here, the RDK IP address is 10.64.61.228, so enter ssh root@10.64.61.228. There will be the following prompt for the first SSH login:

 ssh root@10.64.61.241

Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])? yes

Enter yes and press Enter, then enter the password: root, to access RDK normally.

X86 Platform​

Install the Ubuntu 20.04 64-bit system on an X86 platform physical machine and configure the network environment. Virtual machine installation or Docker can also be used, but the runtime efficiency may be lower.
