I tested the PR in these environments (using WSL):
- Debian 10
- Debian 11
- Ubuntu 18.04 (but the provided Python 3.6.9 is too old, needed to use
ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
and a venv to get QMK CLI working) - Ubuntu 20.04
The PR makes the QMK installation process work on all the above distros (only Ubuntu 18.04 needs some workarounds due to obsolete Python, but that's completely unrelated). So the changes are good, except for the apt-get update
problem (which prevents ./util/qmk_install.sh
from working on Debian-derived distros when invoked manually, but does not manifest when qmk doctor
invokes that script with the -y
option) and a useless warning for the missing riscv32-unknown-elf-gcc
.

The problem with showing the warning here is that it can appear on a perfectly good configuration (Debian 11):
Ψ QMK Doctor is checking your environment.
Ψ CLI version: 1.0.0
Ψ QMK home: …/qmk_firmware
Ψ Detected Linux (WSL).
Ψ Git branch: test-pr-15109
⚠ Can't find riscv32-unknown-elf-gcc in your path.
Ψ All dependencies are installed.
Ψ Found arm-none-eabi-gcc version 8.3.1
Ψ Found avr-gcc version 5.4.0
Ψ Found avrdude version 6.3-20171130
Ψ Found dfu-util version 0.9
Ψ Found dfu-programmer version 0.6.1
Ψ Found riscv64-unknown-elf-gcc version 8.3.0
Ψ Submodules are up to date.
Ψ QMK is ready to go
So maybe the proper way to handle this is to remove the warning from here and add some code to print warnings only if no RISC-V toolchain has been found at all.
Also a missing RISC-V toolchain won't trigger a prompt to install dependencies (e.g., after updating the qmk_firmware
code past the breaking change point); the user would need to run ./util/qmk_install.sh
manually to install the RISC-V toolchain if it's actually provided by the distro. This is probably OK though.

Oh right I didn't thought about that case as it didn't appear to me because I have both the embecosm riscv32-unknown-elf-gcc
and Debian packaged riscv64-unknown-elf-gcc
toolchain installed on my machine. Instead of adding more logic to the check script I just removed the riscv32-unknown-elf-gcc
check as we really only "support" the Debian path at the moment. So as long as other distribution lack the support for RISC-V toolchains this should be good. Hopefully the nomenclature on how the gcc executables are named will converge in the future. At the moment there is riscv64-elf-gcc
(arch) and riscv64-unknown-elf-gcc
(debian) among others.

And on NixOS I have riscv32-none-elf-gcc
(apparently they use none
instead of unknown
in such toolchains); their stock build did not work because of hardfloat/softfloat mismatch in libraries (multilib seems to be broken).

@sigprof thanks for the review, feel free to resolve the conversations if you are fine with the solutions. |
Some merge conflicts. |
The risc-v toolchain is only available on distributions based on Debian 11+ so we check for their availability before installing them.
picolibc internally uses __heap_start and __heap_end instead of the defacto chibios linker script standard __heap_base__ and __heap_end__ therefore we introduce these symbols as an alias. Usually all memory used within QMK is statically allocated, but some algorithms make usage of malloc and friends. Also the timeval struct is not defined by picolibc for syscalls, therefore it is declared as stub.
Due to the upcoming code freeze, I've dropped 9121bf6c4fd8c0804c280b645b1d3754615ed711 as there are still open discussions around its implementation. Feel free to PR the changes separately. However given the warning would be presented to a fair few users, I can see the concept of "optional" dependencies needing more fleshing out. |
