Validation of communication
The demo can be used as a validation for the correctness of communication between an Autoware pipeline running on the Primary Compute and a Zephyr application running on the Safety Island. It validates that the content of ROS2 messages from Autoware can be received and read by a non-ROS application running on Zephyr on a Cortex-R cluster. It also validates the network connection between the two platforms.
Additional code path has been added to both Zephyr app (to forward control
commands to host that can be validated by the Packet Analyzer) and Zephyr tests
(to validate this forwarding of control commands). The Zephyr app’s behavior of
publishing control commands via DDS or forwarding control commands to the host
can be set with the -b
option when using the build script.
