sl-jetson 25f0711309 feat: Jetson Orin system monitor ROS2 node (Issue #631)
New package saltybot_system_monitor:
- jetson_stats.py: pure-Python data layer (JetsonStats, CpuCore,
  TegrastatsParser, JtopReader, TegrastatsReader, MockReader,
  AlertChecker, AlertThresholds) — no ROS2 dependency
- system_monitor_node.py: ROS2 node publishing /saltybot/system/stats
  (JSON) and /saltybot/diagnostics (DiagnosticArray) at 1 Hz
- Alerts: CPU/GPU >85% WARN (+10% ERROR), temp >80°C, disk/RAM >90%,
  power >30 W; each alert produces a DiagnosticStatus entry
- Stats source priority: jtop > tegrastats > mock (auto-detected)
- config/system_monitor.yaml: all thresholds and rate tunable via params
- launch/system_monitor.launch.py: single-node launch with config arg
- test/test_system_monitor.py: 50+ pytest tests, ROS2-free

Jetson Nano — AI/SLAM Platform Setup

Self-balancing robot: Jetson Nano dev environment for ROS2 Humble + SLAM stack.

Stack

Component Version / Part
Platform Jetson Nano 4GB
JetPack 4.6 (L4T R32.6.1, CUDA 10.2)
ROS2 Humble Hawksbill
DDS CycloneDDS
SLAM slam_toolbox
Nav Nav2
Depth camera Intel RealSense D435i
LiDAR RPLIDAR A1M8
MCU bridge STM32F722 (USB CDC @ 921600)

Quick Start

# 1. Host setup (once, on fresh JetPack 4.6)
sudo bash scripts/setup-jetson.sh

# 2. Build Docker image
bash scripts/build-and-run.sh build

# 3. Start full stack
bash scripts/build-and-run.sh up

# 4. Open ROS2 shell
bash scripts/build-and-run.sh shell

Power Budget (Summary)

Scenario Total
Idle 2.9W
Nominal (SLAM active) ~10.2W
Peak 15.4W

Target: 10W (MAXN nvpmodel). Use RPLIDAR standby + 640p D435i for compliance. See docs/power-budget.md for full analysis.
