shapes-demo

A program to test the interoperability of zenoh-plugin-dds against various DDS implementations.

Dependencies

• Rust installation instructions are available here
• zenoh-plugin-dds
• A DDS Shapes Demo application, using e.g.
  • RustDDS → Shapes Demo or
  • CycloneDDS → Shapes Demo

Building Shapes Demo

Build the Zenoh-DDS bridge

git clone https://github.com/eclipse-zenoh/zenoh-plugin-dds.git
cd zenoh-plugin-dds
cargo build

Build the shapes demo for Zenoh

git clone https://github.com/eclipse-zenoh/zenoh-demos.git
cd zenoh-demos/zenoh-dds-interop/shapes_demo
cargo build

Build RustDDS and its Shapes Demo

git clone https://github.com/jhelovuo/RustDDS.git
cd RustDDS
cargo build --examples

Running the demo

Using separate consoles, start the three applications.

Start the zenoh-plugin-dds in standalone bridge mode:

cd zenoh-plugin-dds
cargo run

Start RustDDS Shapes Demo to subscribe on topic Square:

cd RustDDS
cargo run --example=shapes_demo -- -S -t Square

Start Zenoh Shapes Demo to publish on Square:

cd zenoh-demos/zenoh-dds-interop/shapes_demo
cargo run  -- -P -t Square

Expected result: Zenoh Shapes demo receives what DDS Shapes Demo publishes. Startup order of the programs should not matter.

Things to try out

Swap the arguments -P and -S between programs to test the other direction.

Other DDS implementations, e.g. FastDDS, CycloneDDS, or RTI Connext are also expected to work with their respective Shapes Demo programs.
