Overview

Jonny Boi (official name: Jetson Orin Nano), is the mini-PC that runs most software in the rover. The rover also contains some software in the microcontrollers, which are responsibility of Embedded. Jonny and all microcontrollers are connected through a switch and form a LAN. This LAN is also connected to the Ubiquiti router that communicates with the Basestation.

Jonny Boi runs NVIDIA Linux 36.4.4, which is Ubuntu Jammy 22.04 with NVIDIA packages. On top of that we install ROS2 Humble Hawksbill and Nav2.

All code running on Jonny Boi is stored in https://github.com/RoboTeamTwente/erc-software-rover.
