vcdbg gdrive rate limits #70

Closed acostach closed 7 months ago

acostach commented 7 months ago

Hi @pelwell , in our automated tests for balenaOS we're pulling the statically pre-compiled 32bit version of vcdbg, which you shared in https://github.com/raspberrypi/Raspberry-Pi-OS-64bit/issues/67 . Unfortunately it looks like Gdrive has some rate-limiting and this causes our tests to fail.

root@9d6521e:/tmp# ./vcdbg log msg
./vcdbg: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `<'
./vcdbg: line 1: `<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><title>Google Drive - Quota exceeded</title>

Could you please let me know if there's a different location from where it can be downloaded, eventually without rate limits?

Thank you

There are two answers to this:

  1. vcdbg is dead - use vclog, which you can build yourself (https://github.com/raspberrypi/utils/tree/master/vclog).
  2. Feel free to copy that statically linked binary anywhere you want so that it isn't rate-limited.
