Jetson Orin NX 开发指南（9）: MAVROS 的安装、配置与运行

本文主要是介绍Jetson Orin NX 开发指南（9）: MAVROS 的安装、配置与运行，希望对大家解决编程问题提供一定的参考价值，需要的开发者们随着小编来一起学习吧！

一、前言

由于 Jetson 系列开发板常作为自主无人机的机载电脑，而无人机硬件平台如 PX4 和 ArduPilot 等通过 MAVLink 进行发布无人机状态和位姿等信息，要实现机载电脑与 MAVLink 的通信，必须借助 Mavros 功能包，因此，本文主要介绍 Mavros 功能包的安装、配置与使用，主要参考

GitHub - mavlink/mavros at master

https://github.com/mavlink/mavros/blob/master/mavros/README.md#installation

Ubuntu 安装并配置 mavros （USB 连接）_ubuntu安装mavros-CSDN博客

官方给出了直接安装和源码安装两种方法，由于一般 mavros 安装并配置完成后不会轻易改动，且十分常用，因此比较推荐直接安装方法，本文也只介绍直接安装方法。

二、Mavros 的安装

由于 Jetson Orin NX 的 JetPack 5.1.2 对应的是 Ubuntu 20.04，因此我们选择安装 noetic 版本的 mavros 功能包，终端输入

sudo apt-get install ros-noetic-mavros ros-noetic-mavros-extras -y

此时可以查看 /usr/share/ 下多了一个 GeographicLib 文件夹，其内容是空的，需要我们自己添加进去

进入 ~/Documents/ 目录，下载脚本文件

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mavlink/mavros/master/mavros/scripts/install_geographiclib_datasets.sh

然后给下载好的脚本文件添加可执行权限，

sudo chmod +x ./install_geographiclib_datasets.sh

运行该脚本下载所需文件

sudo ./install_geographiclib_datasets.sh

如果执行报错，就直接去GeographicLib 官网下载（可能要挂梯子。。。）对应的三个包，下载得到三个文件夹：

1.GeographicLib geoids egm96-5 官网下载链接：

Download egm96-5.tar.bz2 (GeographicLib)

2.GeographicLib gravity egm 96官网下载链接

Download egm96.zip (GeographicLib)

3.GeographicLib magnetic emm2015 官网下载链接：

Download emm2015.zip (GeographicLib)

在 /usr/share/GeographicLib/ 路径下，将上面下载的三个压缩包解压后放在这个文件夹内，如下所示

至此，mavros 就安装成功了！

三、Mavrso 的运行

由于 Jetson Orin NX 与飞控（飞行控制器）一般有两种通信连接方式，一种是通过 USB 连接，另一种是通过串口连接，本节将分别介绍两种连接方式使得 Jetson Orin NX 通过 Mavros 实现与飞控的通信。

由于时下最新的 Pixhawk 系列飞控为 Pixhawk 6X，因此本文主要介绍 Jetson Orin NX 与 Pixhawk 6X 的通信，其他电脑与飞控的通信方式也是相同的！

3.1 Jetson Orin NX 与 Pixhawk 6X 实现 USB 通信

运行 Mavros 之前需要现修改 launch 启动文件

打开 /opt/ros/noetic/share/mavros/launch/ 路径下的 px4.launch 文件

可以看到 fcu_url 默认为 /dev/ttyACM0:57600，其中 ttyACM0 表示 USB 连接，57600 表示波特率，这里我们不对这个文件进行修改，而是在当前目录下新建一个

终端输入

cd /opt/ros/noetic/share/mavros/launch/
sudo touch px4_ACM0.launch

打开 px4_ACM0.launch 文件，

sudo gedit px4_ACM0.launch

将其内容改为

<launch><!-- vim: set ft=xml noet : --><!-- example launch script for PX4 based FCU's --><arg name="fcu_url" default="/dev/ttyACM0:921600" /><arg name="gcs_url" default="" /><arg name="tgt_system" default="1" /><arg name="tgt_component" default="1" /><arg name="log_output" default="screen" /><arg name="fcu_protocol" default="v2.0" /><arg name="respawn_mavros" default="false" /><include file="$(find mavros)/launch/node.launch"><arg name="pluginlists_yaml" value="$(find mavros)/launch/px4_pluginlists.yaml" /><arg name="config_yaml" value="$(find mavros)/launch/px4_config.yaml" /><arg name="fcu_url" value="$(arg fcu_url)" /><arg name="gcs_url" value="$(arg gcs_url)" /><arg name="tgt_system" value="$(arg tgt_system)" /><arg name="tgt_component" value="$(arg tgt_component)" /><arg name="log_output" value="$(arg log_output)" /><arg name="fcu_protocol" value="$(arg fcu_protocol)" /><arg name="respawn_mavros" default="$(arg respawn_mavros)" /></include>
</launch>

至此，Mavros 的启动文件就配置完成了！

然后终端输入

roslaunch mavros px4_ACM0.launch

启动 mavros，发现报错

[FATAL] [1697177878.518260611]: FCU: DeviceError:serial:open: Permission denied

原因是 /dev/ttyACM0 没有可执行权限，需要先添加可执行权限，终端输入

sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyACM0

然后再次启动 mavros，终端输入

roslaunch mavros px4_ACM0.launch

结果显示

这表示 mavros 成功连接上了飞控！

此时可以查看 mavros 话题，终端输入

rostopic list

可以查看 IMU 频率，终端输入

rostopic hz /mavros/imu/data

结果显示

此时 IMU 话题频率为 200 左右，至此 Mavros 就安装完成了！

3.2 Jetson Orin NX 与 Pixhawk 6X 实现串口通信

首先查询 Pixhawk 6X 中 TELEM 2 的接口情况，参考

Pixhawk Mini-Base Ports - Holybro Docs

我们发现 TELEM 2 端口的 2 号口是信号输出（TX），3 号口是信号输入（RX），6号口是地线（GND），因此我们只需要这三个接口连到机载电脑（Jetson Orin NX）即可。

我们需要查询机载电脑的飞控串口（pinout），用于连接飞控，注意到在 Jetson Orin NX 上有 40 个针脚（pinout），Jetson 系列的 PINOUT 主要参考

NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX GPIO Header Pinout - JetsonHacks

但是其目前没有更新 Jetson Orin NX 的 PINOUT 情况，但是实际上其接口情况是与 Jetson Xavier NX 一致的，这里给出 Jetson Xavier NX 的部分 PINOUT 的接口情况

我们这里需要的是 6 号串口（GND）、 8 号串口（TX）、10 号串口（RX），它们与飞控的连接方式为 GND —— GND，TX —— RX， RX —— TX，也就是

Jetson Orin NX 端 6 号串口 ——> Pixhawk 6X 端 TELEM 2 的 6 号端口

Jetson Orin NX 端 8 号串口 ——> Pixhawk 6X 端 TELEM 2 的 3 号端口

Jetson Orin NX 端 10 号串口——> Pixhawk 6X 端 TELEM 2 的 2 号端口

接线对应如下图所示（蓝——蓝，白——白，黑——黑）

至此接线就完成了，最后在 Jetson Orin NX 端配置 mavros 启动文件即可实现 Jetson Orin NX 与 Pixhawk 6X 通过串口通信。

在此之前我们先通过下图查看 Jetson Orin NX 的 PINOUT 的 8 号和 10 号接口对应文件为 /dev/ttyTHS0 文件

因此我们在 /opt/ros/noetic/share/mavros/launch/ 路径下创建一个 px4_THS0.launch 文件，其内容修改为（注意到其 fcu_url 的默认值为 /dev/ttyTHS0:921600，分别对应串口文件和波特率）

<launch><!-- vim: set ft=xml noet : --><!-- example launch script for PX4 based FCU's --><arg name="fcu_url" default="/dev/ttyTHS0:921600" /><arg name="gcs_url" default="" /><arg name="tgt_system" default="1" /><arg name="tgt_component" default="1" /><arg name="log_output" default="screen" /><arg name="fcu_protocol" default="v2.0" /><arg name="respawn_mavros" default="false" /><include file="$(find mavros)/launch/node.launch"><arg name="pluginlists_yaml" value="$(find mavros)/launch/px4_pluginlists.yaml" /><arg name="config_yaml" value="$(find mavros)/launch/px4_config.yaml" /><arg name="fcu_url" value="$(arg fcu_url)" /><arg name="gcs_url" value="$(arg gcs_url)" /><arg name="tgt_system" value="$(arg tgt_system)" /><arg name="tgt_component" value="$(arg tgt_component)" /><arg name="log_output" value="$(arg log_output)" /><arg name="fcu_protocol" value="$(arg fcu_protocol)" /><arg name="respawn_mavros" default="$(arg respawn_mavros)" /></include>
</launch>

修改完成后保存，然后将 Jetson Orin NX 与 Pixhawk 6X 通过串口连接，如下图所示

可以看到此时 Pixhawk 6X 是通过电池供电的（也可以通过 USB 方式供电），并且 Pixhawk 6X 与 Jetson Orin NX 只有 Pixhawk 6X 的 TELEM 2 端口到 Jetson Orin NX 的 PINOUT 6 号、8 号、10 号接口的接线（并没有 USB 线连接），因此如果在 Jetson Orin NX 上如果能够接收到来自 Pixhawk 6X 的飞控信息，那么通信数据必然是通过串口传输的！

连接后我们先给 /dev/ttyTHS0 授予可执行权限

sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyTHS0

接下来我们启动 mavros，终端输入

roslaunch mavros px4_THS0.launch

结果显示

这表示 mavros 成功连接上了飞控！

此时可以查看 mavros 话题，终端输入
