I’m trying to create local build environments to support custom gateware development, and related changes to the Linux kernel such as new interrupt handling and drivers to support the new gateware. I’m using a Hyper-V VM running Ubuntu 20.04, and would like to stick with that if possible because I already have it successfully running Libero and building the Gateware with custom changes.
I just learned about docker today after reading the post referenced above. My current guess from what I see is that I need to build a docker container, and then use it to build the linux kernel image. When I try to run the “docker build …” command from the readme.md file, it gets much of the way through and then fails with this:
…

9.138 E: Couldn’t find any package by glob ‘bbb.io-keyring’

Going another route, I tried the next recommendation in that post, and I have another issue in locating the “genimage” package:
sudo apt-get install -yq bc bison bmap-tools cpio debhelper dosfstools flex genimage kmod libelf-dev libssl-dev libyaml-dev lz4 mtools

E: Unable to locate package genimage
I’ve also tried creating a Debian 12 VM, and I get the same issue with “bbb.io-keyring” when I run the docker script.
Can someone please tell me if I’m on the right track and just need some small tweaks to get the packages located? Or if it exists, please point me to instructions on how to set up a single environment than can build everything for the BeagleV-Fire? (Maybe I don’t mean everything; like I don’t think I need to rebuild u-boot or some of the custom Polarfire HSS stuff…)
It is going through multiple retry attempts and I’m not sure if I should interrupt it or not. Please let me know if there is a simple way to get past this.
Below is some information about how I got this far in case it helps someone who is in a similar boat:
Within the Windows 11 Hyper-V Ubuntu 20.04 virtual machine, I did these things:
I never did get the gitlab-runner/docker combination figured out, but after removing that line, I got things building by manually connecting to the docker image and binding the root directory of the repository to a folder in the docker container. The command was:
sudo docker run -it --mount type=bind,source=/home/abe/beagle/BeagleV-Fire-ubuntu,target=/Beagle robertcnelson/beagle-devscripts-kernel-debian-12-amd64
Then, inside the docker image environment, I went into the /Beagle folder and duplicated the steps in the script and everything completed, with sdcard.img.xz in the deploy folder when it finished. I transferred the new image using Balena-etcher, and although it acts a little weird in Windows (varioius explorer popups) and comes up with an error at the end of the load:
