fiit development environment is based on podman and Conda with conda-forge repository.
To bootstrap a development environment for fiit, run the following command.
$ git clone https://github.com/firmware-crunch/fiit-dev
$ cd fiit-dev
$ ./env_bootstrap.sh
The bootstrap script builds a podman image, run a container and deploy a
development environment in the container with a shared directory (podman volume)
with the container localized to ~/fiit-dev on the host filesystem. This
shared directory contains a Conda Python environment with the fiit python
package source code installed in develop mode.
This environment setup is useful because it allows straightforward access of
fiit source code and associated python environment from your favorite host
IDE without any container configuration, while taking advantage to run the
fiit development version in the container.
By default, the development environment directory is created to ~/fiit-dev. To
Change this behaviour, DEV_DIR must be specified.
$ DEV_DIR=/path/to/dev/directory ./env_bootstrap.sh
To connect to the container, run the following command. At connect time, the
Conda python environment is automatically activated and the fiit command
available.
$ cd fiit-dev
$ make connect
podman exec -u fiit -it fiit-dev bash
(/opt/fiit-dev/conda_env_py_3_9_2) fiit@FirmwareCrunch:/opt/fii-dev$ fiit -h
