Quick Start

Hardware Configuration Determination

SLAMKit is an software application running on the client’s processor. So users must confirm that the computing resources meet the requirements. The key parameters are shown in the following table:

Description

Illustrate

Supported Processors and ArchitecturesIntel x86, x64 series ARMV7/V8 series
Supported Operating SystemsUbuntu 16.04, 18.04, 20.04, 22.04
(Ubuntu 16.04 is the most stable version)
Hardware Interface

1 * USB2.0 interface for licensing card.

1 * Ethernet port, 1 * Serial port, or 1 * USB port to connect Lidar + 1 * Power interface.(Please refer to the used LiDAR datasheet)

Note: 100 Mbps Ethernet port is enough, and the USB Lidar is not recommended due to the signal interference.

CPU Usage
  • RK3399: max to 2 * A72 + 2 * A53
  • Intel Celeron J3455: max to 2.5 cores
  • Note: Actual evaluation results may vary
Memory Usage
  • Mapping mode: 2GB on average for 5cm resolution map building.
  • Localization mode: max to 2.5GB (map resolution is 5cm and map size is 250,000㎡)
  • Note: Memory usage may increase with larger map areas and higher resolutions
Disk Usage15GB (5GB for log, 10GB for core dump)
Software Interface Requirements

Subscribe to ROS topic /odom which is provided by user.

Note: The publishing frequency of /odom must be greater than 50Hz, preferably 100Hz.

Specifically, SLAMKit official version users encountering performance bottleneck issues during usage or requiring comprehensive evaluation of product performance can contact SLAMTEC technical support team. The technical support team will assist users in evaluating whether the resource usage and the thread frequency meet the requirements for design specifications.
