 # installROSTX
 Install Robot Operating System (ROS) on NVIDIA Jetson TX Dev Kits
+
+These scripts will install Robot Operating System (ROS) on the NVIDIA Jetson TX1 and Jetson TX2  Development Kit.
+
+Tested on L4T 28.1 (Ubuntu 16.04). L4T 28.1 was installed with JetPack 3.1.
+
+The script is based on the Ubuntu ARM install of ROS Kinetic: http://wiki.ros.org/kinetic/Installation/UbuntuARM
+
+Maintainer of ARM builds for ROS is http://answers.ros.org/users/1034/ahendrix/
+
+<strong>updateRepositories.sh</strong>
+This is an optional step. Adds the repositories universe, multiverse, and restricted and then apt-get update. These repositories are in the standard 28.1 install, so probably not needed.
+
+<strong>installROS.sh</strong>
+Adds the ROS sources list, sets the keys and then loads ros-kinetic-ros-base. Edit this file to add other ROS packages for your installation. After loading, rosdep is initialized.
+
+<strong>setupCatkinWorkspace.sh</strong>
+Usage:
+
+$ ./setupCatkinWorkspace.sh [optionalWorkspaceName]
+
+where optionalWorkspaceName is the name of the workspace to be used. The default workspace name is catkin_ws. This script also sets up some ROS environment variables. Refer to the script for details.
