armv6 / armv7 version

[jvandenbroek]

Could you create a build for armv6/7? Many thanks!

Sure, give me a day or two just ti figure out some kinks. There is a build problem for cmake while installing TheengsGateway on python3.10 on armv7. Works fine (it seems) with python3.9.

I would prefer to keep python3.10 but if i cannot figure out the issue eventually I'll just push the changes with python3.9

Just managed to figure out that there seems to be an issue with python3.10 , cmake and arm. It just fails on pip install. I'll make sure to open issue to cmake but for now i have downgraded python to 3.9 and created separate images for armv7, armv7, i386.

Let me know if you have any questions

[jvandenbroek]

Wow nice you found a solution so quick, it's working great here on armv7! Will test later on armv6 but no doubt it works just fine as well :-) Thank you!

Seems to be an issue with armv6, can't find module TheengsGateway._decoder:

Traceback (most recent call last):

That's odd, i haven't received any errors during build. And decoder comes packaged with TheengsGatewaay, and obviously it managed to start gateway.

What device you used ? I'll try to see if i can emulate.

Thanks!
I'm not sure if this is an issue during cross-compile when creating a docker image or just some incompatability with armv6 and TheengsGateway. I've opened up an issue with theengs - theengs/gateway#59

Maybe we'll figure out where exactly is the problem. It seems that package is built just fine (otherwise image creation would fail due to exit code), even module is compiled, but not sure why it cannot be loaded, that's why i believe that it has something to do with theengs gw.

There are no linux/arm/v6 variant for python:3.9-slim-bullseye image.
For Raspberry Pi 1 Balena base images can be used as base.
