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. Here is the method of burning Ubuntu 20.04/22.04 image: Ubuntu Image Burning Method

If the image has already been installed, you can upgrade it by running the commands sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade.

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

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:
