Add dockerized toolchain support #170

Open matsievskiysv opened 1 year ago

matsievskiysv commented 1 year ago

This PR adds support for dockerized build toolchain, which would allow adding CI/CD to this project.

folder docker contains build.dockerfile for building the toolchain container and instructions on how to use it.
Makefile added to BPv4 bootloader and firmware folders for building without microchip IDE
minor changes to code were added to make it compile

Notes:

I successfully flashed and tested BPv4 firmware using pickit2
I flashed BPv4 bootloader using pickit2 and cannot enter bootloader mode, but I had exactly the same problem with precompiled binaries from this project. I think, that the problem is in my board
xc16 linker seem to be sensitive to the order of the object files, so couldn't use wildcard in firmware Makefile

@matsievskiysv

I tried to build the v4 firmware using the docker image in this PR. However I am getting an error

From BASH shell

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx MINGW64 /d/Git/Bus_Pirate/Bootloaders/BPv4-bootloader/firmware-v1 (pr-docker)
$ docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/work buspirate:latest
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

From Powershell

D:\Git\Bus_Pirate\Bootloaders\BPv4-bootloader\firmware-v1>docker run --rm -it -v %cd%/work buspirate:latest
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

I am running docker on windows. Any ideas?

You should check that folder got mounted. Issue command

docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/work --entrypoint bash buspirate:latest

This will take you to the shell inside the container. Check that firmware files are present in /work folder.

Its empty

$ docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/work --entrypoint bash buspirate:latest root@8c2156db0d15:/work# ls root@8c2156db0d15:/work#

You could double-check that $PWD points to the right folder

ls $PWD

If it does, then the docker installation is messed up. I actually don't know if windows docker supports folder mounts.

DerekGn commented 1 year ago

It seems to be OK

root@8c2156db0d15:/work# ls $PWD
root@8c2156db0d15:/work# ls $PWD
root@8c2156db0d15:/work#

It was probably a stretch trying to get this to work on windows. I will move over to debian and give it a try. Thanks for the help.

No, I've meant to issue this command from mingw, not from inside the container.

Sorry misunderstood
