            Bug ID: 291
           Summary: HDL Workflow and Coriolis2 chroot automated setup
                    scripts
           Product: Libre-SOC's first SoC
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: CONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: ---
         Component: Hardware Layout
          Assignee: lkcl@lkcl.net
          Reporter: colepoirier@gmail.com
                CC: libre-riscv-dev@lists.libre-riscv.org
   NLnet milestone: ---

In service of the description of bug 178: "We need the alliance2/coriolis
workflow documented, a suite of tutorials found (or written), and a "test
project" to be done which gives a guide to completion time of layout." Cole is
working on scripts to automate the process of installation and setup of the HDL
workflow development environment. This should make the on-boarding of the
LIPFR6 interns who will be doing the layout this summer easier.

--- Comment #1 from Cole Poirier <colepoirier@gmail.com> ---
Luke, should I amend section 6.6 of the HDL workflow to install
gcc-8-powerpc64-linux-gnu as you said this is what is available in debian/10?
The current instructions say to install gcc-9-powerpc64-linux-gnu but as you
said that's only available in debian/testing. Since you said that there should
be no need for compiling ppc code at this point, is this section meant to be a
part of a different workflow?

--- Comment #2 from Cole Poirier <colepoirier@gmail.com> ---
Luke, I was able to get the script to work to the point of correctly installing
and configuring the coriolis chroot such that it would open the coriolis window
diplaying the chicken, which when clicked on a few times displayed the coriolis
layout window as on the HDL workflow wiki. Unfortunately my script no longer
reaches this point of successful completion, and I am now consistently getting
stuck at this error:

ok so this "per se" is of no help as without knowing "which script"
there is no way to know what it is doing.  until we know where that
script is, and can examine it (and run it) there's not a lot that can
be done.

Oops, sorry, I forgot to link the script's git repo. This error occurs when
running the script 'coriolis2-chroot' after running the script
'install-apt-reqs' from this repo
https://git.libre-soc.org/?p=dev-env-setup.git;a=summary.

Note, theres a very high probability that I am making very silly bash scripting
mistakes because I'm new to this. So any help and corrections are greatly
appreciated :)

ok so there's nothing in there which says "picking a hard-coded git tag number"
so i suspect that it's as simple as jean-paul made a commit recently which
broke something.

Ah, I'm realizing now that I really should have been using a hard-coded git tag
number. Can you share your known-working git tag number for coriolis2 so I can
continue working on the script tomorrow?

ah - no, not exactly.  keep it simple for now.  the idea we came up with
is to have a new (single) repo with git submodules.

the git branch/tag info will be encoded into the submodules.  this way,
the script remains the same.

wait for jean-paul to investigate:

Ok, thank you for the explanation, makes much more sense to me now. I will move
on to the non-chroot part of the HDL workflow for now.

Take a correct snaphost of the Coriolis environment in ~/coriolisenv

I did miss to attach this to the previous attachement.

My guess for the problem, is that the Coriolis environment was badly set, hence
the helpers import failure. The patch contains a correction. I was not able to
check it in the exact same conditions as the script assumes that the host OS is
already a Debian like.

Thank you very much Jean-Paul! I appreciate how busy you are, and how valuable
your time is.
