1. Optional: Setup access for local IP/host

   If you are running lava on a machine with a fixed IP (eg: a dedicated computer on your local network) you will want to modify the  overlays/lava-server/etc/lava-server/settings.conf file to allow access.  You'll want to modify the ALLOWED_HOSTS line to add the ip or hostname of the machine.  In the example below, the ip 192.168.1.14 was added, you'll want to keep 127.0.0.1 and localhost .

   Code Block
   language yml linenumbers true
   { "HTTPS_XML_RPC": false, "MOUNT_POINT": "/", "STATIC_URL": "/static/", "ALLOWED_HOSTS": ["192.168.1.14", "127.0.0.1", "localhost"], "CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE": false, "SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE": false, "EVENT_NOTIFICATION": true, "EVENT_TOPIC": "lava-server", "INTERNAL_EVENT_SOCKET": "tcp://lava-publisher:5557" }

   
   

2. Optional: Add the proxy settings in lite-lava-dispatcher and ser2net images

   It might be required to define proxy setting in lite-lava-dispatcher/Dockerfile and ser2net/Dockerfile

   Code Block
   language bash
   ENV http_proxy=http://<user>:<pwd>@<proxy>:<port> ENV https_proxy=http://<user>:<pwd>@<proxy>:<port>

   
   

3. Optional: Configure DNS in /etc/docker/daemon.json

   Get host DNS 

   Code Block
   language bash
   nmcli dev show | grep 'IP4.DNS'

   Set reported value in /etc/docker/daemon.json

   Code Block
   language yml
   { "dns": ["w.x.y.z"] }

   
   

4. Run commands to build docker images and startup lava

   Code Block
   language bash
   docker-compose build make

   You'll see output of docker fetching and building the images, and then all LAVA containers starting up, followed by a fair amount of logging from LAVA itself as it starts up.  This may take a few minutes to complete.

   Here are some examples of the output one can expect during this phase:

5. Verify lava is running
   

   You can verify that lava has completed startup by trying to connect to the LAVA webserver in a web browser by going to localhost.

   Here's what the startup webpage should look like in your web browser:

   

...

You then need to bind your  host certificates to container by adding following line in lava-docker-compose/docker-compose.yaml:

  lava-master:
    container_name: lava-master
    image: ${DC_SERVER_IMAGE}
    volumes:
    ...
    - /usr/local/share/ca-certificates:/usr/local/share/ca-certificates:ro

Then, run the following command in the container and go back to job start step.

update-ca-certificates

...

As can be seen, lava-dispatcher and lava-ser2net containers didn't start up successfully. This usually can be rectified by running "docker-compose up". To bring up the system into a fully functional state, udev forwarder must be started manually too.

FRDM-K64F CMSIS DAPLink firmware versions

Different FRDM-K64F boards in circulation have different CMSIS DAPLink firmware versions, which may affect board's use with LAVA (taking into account that there're different deployment methods - USB Mass Storage Device copying, pyocd, etc.) This section tries to enumerate versions seen, with notes on usage with LAVA. The version can be found via "DETAILS.TXT" file (or lack thereof) on board's emulated USB MSD device after plugging the board into host.

No DETAILS.TXT file

This is considered to be the oldest firmware, such old, that it didn't even version itself. It's recommended to upgrade this DAPLink firmware, to at least get identifiable version of it.

Version: 0226/Aug 24 2015 17:06:30

Contents of DETAILS.TXT:

Version: 0226
Build: Aug 24 2015 17:06:30
Git Commit SHA: 27a236b9fe39c674a703c5c89655fbd26b8e27e1
Git Local mods: Yes

This is version David and Paul originally had. Generally works well with LAVA, but requires "set resets_after_flash = false" in the board template.
