Up2-nocodec: sof-logger / ldc failure in capture/playback test

[plbossart]

Adding issue to keep track of problem reported here: https://sof-ci.01.org/linuxpr/PR2357/build4293/devicetest/

@marc-hb @lyakh FYI.

Quoting myself from #2357 :

We started paying more attention to the sof-logger (and there's more coming, see thesofproject/sof-test#297 and 298)

The two failures in https://sof-ci.01.org/linuxpr/PR2357/build4293/devicetest/ look basically the same:

2020-08-13 01:58:18 UTC [REMOTE_ERROR] sof-logger was already dead  # (new test)

At the bottom of the (long) slogger tab:

error: Invalid filename length or ldc file does not match firmware

error: Invalid filename length or ldc file does not match firmware

yeah, doesn't look like an "audio problem" to me either

[paulstelian97]

ldc failure means that for some reason the active firmware image and ldc file aren't from the same build, or you use an old version of sof-logger that cannot properly decode the ldc file. Sounds like a CI problem.

[plbossart]

it could very well be a CI problem but why would it affect only this platform?

[paulstelian97]

The test machine maybe has an older version of sof-logger or some misconfiguration.

[paulstelian97]

Although I think it should have said "ABI mismatch" instead.

@marc-hb Can you help check this issue?

[keyonjie]

@plbossart so what's the issue here? CI provided inaccurate info?

[juimonen]

@Keyon the question is why is the CI machine having incompatible versions of fw and debug file, or is this because of some other reason...

[plbossart]

we have another sof-logger issue #2379
This really pollutes our CI results, needs to be fixed.

@paulstelian97 I think that sof-logger issue is thesofproject/sof#3344, right?

[paulstelian97]

Took a look and commented on the sof-logger issue. Scratching my head...

[mengdonglin]

Cannot reproduce in CI recently, so lower the priority.

[mengdonglin]

The slogger shows it's more likely the *.ldc file has changed during the test. CI hasn't reproduced this issue. So closed it.
