Odroid Setup for ROS (KINETIC) installation

• Odroid XU4
• 128 GB eMMC Module for XU4
• WiFi Module
• Keyboard/Mouse (optional)

Download the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS minimal or mate image from hardkernel's official odroid wiki repo Install win32 or etcher to flash the image into your eMMC

A network connection is required to complete the first-time setup after flashing the distro. As root, do the following:
sudo apt-get gedit to download an editor (optional)
sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces or sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces (if you did not install gedit) then add the following lines in:

auto wlan0
allow-hotplut wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless-power off
wpa-ssid Free
wpa-psk 748748748

If you face an issue between Odroid XU4 and the wifi module, follow this instructions here to fix it

The minimal distribution only has root setup. To add our own account, odroid, use these commands:
adduser odroid adduser odroid sudo

Have you ensure that:

1. Display Manager - Greeter settings are okay?
2. Partitioning is allocated accordingly?
