[Call For Testing] Test GCC 8.2 & new libopencm3 was created by csujun

Switching compiler and libopencm3 is considering very risky. The current compiler and libopencm3 we are using is too old, which are out of its support life. It is time to switch to new compiler and new lib. One immediate benefit is the ROM size get reduced by the new compiler to free up some space on Devo7E.

I build the firmware based on today's master (1/5/2019) with the new compiler and new library. You can find the firmware for your Tx here:
www.deviationtx.com/downloads-new/catego...-csujun-test-gcc-8-2

Please focus on the general usage of your Tx to see if anything is broken.

There is no function difference than the master. I already verified the firmware with my Tx. But I need more widely testing before I can merge the change. Let me know if your Tx firmware is not there.

Know Issue:
[Devo7e] SBUS and CRSF protocol is broken due to a bug in UART send code. see issue here: github.com/DeviationTX/deviation/issues/484

Some recent changes in master may be interesting to you, which are included in this build as well.
1. Scanner support for 10/12e.
2. New format of localization file which enables faster language switch.
3. At9 get bigger font 15pt.
4. new protocols like NCC-1701

Thanks,

Howard Su

Should relate to the change on GCC version. Let me check the docker script.

Doesn't work for me now...

Is there a way to reverse changes to Windows Docker build environment?

Windows 10
local clone copy of deviationtx

I finally figured out that I had to delete the existing image/container, re-download the Deviation build environment and re-create the Docker container.
I then had the following error after starting a build:

fatal: destination path 'src/libopencm3' already exists and is not an empty directory.
Clone of ' github.com/DeviationTx/libopencm3.git ' into submodule path 'src/libopencm3' failed

I deleted src/libopencm3, re-started the build and it succeeded.

Yes, delete the existing image/container, re-download the Deviation build environment and re-create the Docker container.

1 View all containers：
docker ps -a

2 Stop container：
docker stop id

3 Delete container：
docker rm id

4View existing image：
docker images

5 Delete existing image：
docker rmi ID

6 exit

All over again

Fully agree, risky indeed but well appreciated. The choice for gcc v8.2 is there a specific philosophy or is it an idea to use GCC 8.3 since that is the bugfix release of 8.2? and for libopencm3 a specific tag or reason to use the one?

Will test on various TX's if we can find some time.. but only ground test for time being.

I had the same exact issue when I spent a week trying to build from a local copy on Windows. Moeder directed me to to go to the Libopencm3 folder, start a bash and type "make". www.deviationtx.com/forum/7-development/...k-building?start=100

I had to delete the container, "make" in the folder and then create container again and it worked. I would have posted all my troubles in this thread had I known about it earlier

Thanks for the tip yets.
When trying to make libopencm3 I realized the folder was empty. When cloning deviationtx the libopencm3 is not cloned. I have cloned libopencm3 from deviationtx and now it builds. But I get an error when building the filesystem:

My knowledge on dockers etc is very limited. Did you change any files in src before compiling?

That is an issue due to recent code changes. Is this with current master? A fix is in the making.

Yets - No changes, first thing is to get deviation build, then start with the changes (mainly extended telemetry for Devo7e).
Moeder - I'll wait for the fix, but I'll also try to build without docker. I've never liked docker... All this changes with libopencm3 and the files structure in targets are getting me crazy. Three weeks trying to build deviation and getting different errors every time.

Thanks for your support.

Please have a little patience. There has been LOTS of code movements in the last couple of weeks (just check the commit log), most of the regressions have been sorted out, but some might reappear. But we now have a better codebase to support future transmitters. Also, a lot of ROM has been freed up in devo7e. If you're using Ubuntu, getting the current gcc-arm-none-eabi-8-2018-q4-major is probably all you really need to compile your own devo7e builds.

I got it built with GCC, without docker, using the same files that yesterday were giving errors. Thanks for the support, and for developping deviation.
