iarsystems / bx-docker Goto Github PK

I am sorry to be so pessimistic but I have reported this issue several times with very little follow-up. How does the bx* product line help anyone when the licensing models does not allow builds in the cloud?

As the readme states:

An IAR LMS2 License Server
    with activated license(s) for the product in the .deb package,
    reachable from the Linux machine.

This is not feasible in any cloud use case. Then the build is strictly local on owned machines the switch to linux has marginal benefits imo.

Hi ,

environnement jenkins/docker

I have create a docker that contains IAR bxramfs compiler.
I have a network license.
I have no problem into the container when I use : lightlicensemanager setup -s myhost
but I try to setup the license in a docker volume like in the setup script.
I create a volume
I run/exec a container with lightlicensemanager setup -s myhost
I remove the container.
than I launch my jenkins pipeline that used the IAR docker image and add in argument -v LMS2:/usr/local/etc/IARSystems
the first time it works, but now I have an error message License already in use.
I check I have no other pipeline / docker image running.

How can I share the network license over several docker image ?
If I used lightlicensemanager setup in my container, and launch a new build , it failed because the license is not release.

thank you
Sohphie

Hey,

Deoes bxarm support to build examples from cmsis bsp pack?

Problem

• The run script displays a final message to source the aliases-set script using the ${CONTAINER_ID}.

Proposal

• Provide explicit directions for sourcing the aliases-set script before moving to the section "Running the build tools".

Is there a single command to check if a licence is available? Currently I do get 108 Errors related to a missing license on each source file which shall be build.

BTW this licence management is a real pain to use in an automated build environment.

See: moby/moby#5419

Without useradd --no-log-init and while user has very large user id value (e.g. 200000000), the docker build will hang until all hard disk space on the host is consumed.

Here is a fix proposal:

This issue started to be discussed in #20 by @ambativ.
Since it is a different topic, I moved the discussion to this specific issue.

Summary

The command LightLicenseManager nwlics returns an empty table when invoked from a Windows container as below:

PS C:\workspace\Embedded Workbench 9.0\common\bin> .\LightLicenseManager.exe nwlics
Product Ver Used Ch out Server Expires License Number

New known issue when creating the image tag via string expansion in build.ps1:

PS C:\sandbox> .\bx-docker\build.ps1 C:\sandbox\bxarm\bxarm-9.32.1.deb
-- Building the Docker image for bxarm-9.32.1...
[+] Building 0.0s (0/0)
ERROR: invalid tag "iarsystems/bxarm\\:9.32.1": invalid reference format

When installing sudo in line with the bx*.deb, there are some corner cases in which our package gets installed before sudo setup is finished:

Setting up bxarmfs-9.20.3.45671 (9.20.3.45671) ...
sudo: unable to stat /etc/sudoers: No such file or directory
sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting
sudo: unable to initialize policy plugin
dpkg: error processing package bxarmfs-9.20.3.45671 (--configure):
 installed bxarmfs-9.20.3.45671 package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
Setting up sudo (1.8.31-1ubuntu1.4) ...

This happens because some post-installation scripts are using sudo for performing system-level changes. However, the package itself does not explicitly mark sudo as a pre-requisite package.

Future versions of the bxinstaller packages will have such sudo dependency removed [TOOL-336].

The Dockerfile has apt-get install sudo libxml2 libicu66 tzdata libsqlite3-0.

libicu66 is not available on Ubuntu 20.04 but has to be retrieved manually (Stackoverflow). It doesn't really seem to be needed though, I just removed it and that worked fine.
sudo seems to be required for the post-install script.

That leaves libxml2, tzdata and libsqlite3-0, it would be nice with some clarification on what these external packages are needed for.

Also note that the .deb should declare these dependencies in the control file (Depends and Build-Depends fields). This allows for the dependencies to be installed automatically when installing with apt. bxarm-9.10.2 actually does this for libsqlite3 but not any of the others.

Using IAR build tools 9.30.1 for ARM.

When I try to run 'iarbuild' (even without arguments), it prints nothing and just exits. What's happening is that it is trying to create a /.iar directory but can't because it is running as UID 1000, so it just segfaults.

I was able to fix it by doing docker exec -it <CONTAINER> bash and manually creating /.iar as root.
