Building vs-image

[Dror Prital IL]

Hi,

Does anyone know what is the make command required in order to build  sonic vs-image ?

Thanks,

Dror.

There are detailed instructions for building SONiC here. However I haven't been able to successfully build any of the variants (Broadcom, vs, p4)  I tried at head-of-line revisions of the master branch for last 4 days. The instructions seem right but the build fails at one point or the other. I don't know what CI/CD protocol is followed for this project. There aren't any recent branches or tags that one could try to build reliably.

Any help from the community is appreciated.

Hi Nikhil,

Thanks for the update. The main question is whether any convoluted sequence of steps should be necessary or whether sonic-vs should just build as per the documentation.

I managed to build sonic-vs finally with the latest master revision (239a1cc1df57). However it appears that

1. The command 'make configure PLATFORM=vs; make all' doesn't build sonic-vs.img.gz. You have to explicitly specify the make target: " make target/sonic-vs.img.gz". Shouldn't the 'all' build everything? I tried to build 'sonic-vs.img.gz' based on the instructions provided for KVM-testbed.
2. The other behavior I am noticing is that after successfully building "docker-sonic-vs.gz", the build host, which is Xubuntu 20.04 LTS in my case, shuts down. I have to restart it through the virtual-box manager. I have noticed this thrice so far and it seems like a reproducible behavior. Is that expected? The last build log is from the file target/sonic-vs.img.gz.log which indicates that the build tried to install ONIE on the host (" Installing ONIE on: /dev/vda").

--thanks
