ADI ROS2: Running Demos with Docker

AlaOuertani — Fri, 29 Aug 2025 11:45:08 GMT

Connect your prepared Raspberry Pi 4 + ADI IMU to a Windows desktop using Docker (WSL2/WSLg). Run the ROS 2 IMU node, verify sensor data, and launch RViz2 to visualize orientation in real-time.

Setup:
- Windows 11, Docker Desktop (WSL 2 backend), WSL Ubuntu 22.04 with WSLg GUI
- Raspberry Pi 4 on Kuiper Linux with IIOD enabled and reachable over the network

Start a GUI-capable container (WSLg):
docker run --rm -it --privileged \
-v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
-v /mnt/wslg:/mnt/wslg \
-e DISPLAY -e WAYLAND_DISPLAY -e XDG_RUNTIME_DIR -e PULSE_SERVER \
adi_ros2:humble-amd64-desktop bash

ADI ROS2: Hardware Setup with Kuiper Linux

AlaOuertani — Fri, 29 Aug 2025 11:36:50 GMT

Prepare a Raspberry Pi 4 with Kuiper Linux, connect an ADI IMU eval board, confirm IIO/IIOD access, and get ready to run remote ROS 2 IMU demos from Windows using Docker Desktop + WSL 2 (Ubuntu). In this video we only read the Pi’s IP on-device; all remaining steps run from WSL 2 on your PC.

Troubleshooting:
- iio_info -u ip:<pi_ip> fails: confirm the Pi’s IP, that IIOD is active (systemctl status iiod), and that your PC and Pi are on the same network.
- SSH errors: run from your WSL Ubuntu terminal; use the correct Kuiper credentials (user=analog ; password=analog).
- IMU not listed: recheck hardware connection, search for typos in the /boot/config.txt , reboot the RPi.
