ROS 2 package using Micro XRCE-DDS Agent.
## Overview
This repository contains the Micro-ROS Agent package.
Micro-ROS Agent is a ROS 2 node that wraps the Micro XRCE-DDS Agent.
For further information about Micro XRCE-DDS Agent click [here](https://github.com/eProsima/Micro-XRCE-DDS-Agent)
This package is a part of the Micro-ROS project stack.
For more information about Micro-ROS project click [here](https://microros.github.io/micro-ROS/).
The node acts as a server between DDS Network and Micro-ROS nodes inside MCU.
It receives and send messages from Micro-ROS nodes, and keep track of the Micro-ROS nodes exposing them to the ROS 2 network.
The node interacts with DDS Global Data Space on behalf of the Micro-ROS nodes.
## Package features
### XML generation
During the build process, the package looks for all ROS 2 messages to generate an initial list of XML profiles.
These profiles can are referenced in the Agent-Client communication to avoid sending the full XML content.
This reference mechanism can be switched on and off from the Micro XRCE-DDS middleware layer.
### Agent-Client communication mechanism
Communication between the Micro-ROS Agent and the Micro-ROS nodes supports two types of transport:
- UDP and TCP over IPv4 and IPv6.
- Serial Port transports.
All available configurations are supported directly by the Micro XRCE-DDS agent.
