Additional system dependencies for CUDA support

See Requirements above for which CUDA version to use with your OS.

• For installation instructions for CUDA 10.0, see https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/archive/10.0/cuda-installation-guide-linux/index.html.
• For installation instructions for CUDA 9.0, see https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/archive/9.0/cuda-installation-guide-linux/index.html.
• For installation instructions for CUDA 8.0GA, see https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/archive/8.0/cuda-installation-guide-linux/index.html.

NOTE: To enable CUDA support on Melodic, Eigen is required to be updated.

How to build

For 1.12.0 and Newer

1. Create a workspace

   $ mkdir -p autoware.ai/src
   $ cd autoware.ai
   

2. Download the workspace configuration for Autoware.AI.

   For the 1.12.0 release:

   $ wget -O autoware.ai.repos "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/autowarefoundation/autoware_ai/1.12.0/autoware.ai.repos"
   

   For newer releases, replace 1.12.0 with the version you want to install.

   For the master version (bleeding edge):

   $ wget -O autoware.ai.repos "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/autowarefoundation/autoware_ai/autoware.ai.repos"
   

3. Download Autoware.AI into the workspace.

   $ vcs import src < autoware.ai.repos
   

4. Install dependencies using rosdep.

   $ rosdep update
   $ rosdep install -y --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro $ROS_DISTRO
   

5. Compile the workspace

   With CUDA support

   $ AUTOWARE_COMPILE_WITH_CUDA=1 colcon build --cmake-args -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
   

   Without CUDA Support

   $ colcon build --cmake-args -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
   

For 1.11.1 and Older

1. Clone the GitHub repository.

   $ cd $HOME
   $ git clone https://github.com/autowarefoundation/autoware_ai.git
   $ cd autoware
   

2. Check out the tag for the appropriate version. To see a list of versions, type git tag.

   $ git checkout 1.11.1
   $ cd ros
   

3. Install dependencies using rosdep.

   $ rosdep update
   $ rosdep install -y --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro $ROS_DISTRO
   

4. Compile the workspace

   Version 1.11.0 or 1.11.1 Compile using colcon

   $ ./colcon_release
   

   Version 1.10 or older Compile using catkin

   $ ./catkin_make_release
   

DNN-based nodes

Some DNN-based nodes, such as SSD, are not automatically built.

To build these nodes please follow the respective node's README SSD Darknet is now included in Autoware perception.
