The current setup requires (2) Virtual Machines; one for KernelCI and the other for LAVA v2. The LAVA v2 VM Setup and Configuration can be found here:

https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/doku.php?id=civilinfrastructureplatform/testinglavav2vmsetup

1. Install Vagrant

[user@host ~] $ sudo apt-get install vagrant

2. Install Oracle Virtualbox

[user@host ~] $ sudo apt-get install virtualbox

• OR, if you downloaded Virtualbox from the Oracle website
• Note: This assumes you are running Ubuntu Xenial(16.04) 64-bit

• [user@host ~] $ cd Downloads

[user@host Downloads] $ sudo dpkg -i virtualbox-5.1_5.1.8-111374-Ubuntu-xenial_amd64.deb

3. Get the CIP KernelCI Project

[user@host ~/git] $ git clone https://gitlab.com/cip-project/testing.git

4. Change to the testing directory

[user@host ~/git] $ cd testing

5. Launch the KernelCI Virtual Machine

[user@host ~/git/testing] $ vagrant up

Note: Please ignore any warnings such as “GetPassWarning: Can not control echo on the terminal.” or “Warning: Password input may be echoed.” - These do not affect the operation of the KernelCI VM.

6. Connect to the KernelCI VM through ssh using vagrant

[user@host ~] $ vagrant ssh

7. Change to the git-repos directory

vagrant@guest:~$ cd git-repos

8. Clone the CIP Linux Kernel

vagrant@guest:~/git-repos$ git clone https://gitlab.com/cip-project/linux-cip.git

9. Find the branch of the kernel version you want (i.e. 4.4.27)

vagrant@guest:~/git-repos$ cd linux-stable

vagrant@guest:~/git-repos/linux-stable$ git tag -l | grep 4.4.y

10. Create a new branch using that tag.

vagrant@guest:~/git-repos/linux-stable$ git checkout -b cip_v4.4.27 v4.4.27

11. Set the environment variables

vagrant@guest:~/git-repos/linux-stable$ export TREE_NAME=cip-test

vagrant@guest:~/git-repos/linux-stable$ export ARCH=arm

vagrant@guest:~/git-repos/linux$ export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi-

Note: Don't forget the dash (-) at the end of the CROSS_COMPILE line!

12. Execute the build.py command

vagrant@guest:~/git-repos/linux-stable$ ~/kernelci-build/build.py -c tinyconfig -p CIP-KernelCI

13. The Web Server is already running in the background. when you navigate from page to page the logs are written to the screen. To get back to the command line, simply press Enter. On subsequent boots, you will need to start the Web Server with the following command:

vagrant@guest:~$ /vagrant/scripts/start_webserver.sh

14. On your host machine, open a web browser and enter the following in the address box:

http://localhost:5000

15. You will see the KernelCI Website home page from which, you can navigate to the different builds and trees that you've created (see Optional Exercises below)

1. Make some Alternate Trees

vagrant@guest:~/git-repos/linux-stable$ export TREE_NAME=cip-tyrannosaurus

vagrant@guest:~/git-repos/linux-stable$ export TREE_NAME=cip-stegosaurus

2. Build Alternate Configurations

vagrant@guest:~/git-repos/linux-stable$ ~/kernelci-build/build.py -c allnoconfig -p CIP-KernelCI

vagrant@guest:~/git-repos/linux-stable$ ~/kernelci-build/build.py -c sunxi_defconfig -p CIP-KernelCI
