Make Widevine ARM selection more reliable #62

Closed dagwieers closed 5 years ago

dagwieers commented 5 years ago

So #59/#60 happened on ARM because the selected hardware device (codename SPRING) is no longer (or temporarily not) getting newer recovery images, and as such does not ship a newer, supported Widevine CDM library. (The only ARM device in the list BTW)

Rather than having a single hardware device listed in our config.py, we could instead list all known ARM devices, and have an algorithm select the smallest ARM image that has the latest version available.

I went over the long list of ChromeOS devices and verified the hardware specs to see which ones in that list actually ship with an ARM processor. This is the list:

# 1101940875  12105.100.0  BOB       // ASUS Chromebook Flip C101PA
# 1219529228  12105.100.0  WHITETIP  // CTL Chromebook J41 / J41T

# 1102001394  12105.100.0  HANA      // *** (Lenovo, Poin2)
#  613700233  12105.100.0  BIG       // Acer Chromebook 13 (CB5-311, C810)
#  614552734  12105.100.0  BLAZE     // HP Chromebook 14 G3
# 1174046692  12105.100.0  RELM      // *** (Acer, CTL, Edxis, HP, Mecer, Positivo)

#  600449940  12105.100.0  JAQ       // *** (Haier, Lava, Medion, True)
# 1087717823  12105.100.0  JERRY     // *** (CTL, EduGear, Epik, HiSense, Mecer, NComputing, Poin2, Positivo, VideoNet)
#  600853103  12105.100.0  MICKEY    // ASUS Chromebit CS10
# 1087997726  12105.100.0  MIGHTY    // *** (EduGear, Haier, Lumos, MEDION, Nexian, PCMerge, Prowise, Sector 5, Viglen)
# 1089562352  12105.100.0  MINNIE    // ASUS Chromebook Flip C100PA
#  601880870  12105.100.0  SPEEDY    // ASUS Chromebook C201PA
# 1087883174  12105.100.0  TIGER     // AOpen Chromebase Mini

So I think a different algorithme to select the best ARM image will prevent #59/#60 from happening.
