Flashing Controller from Docker Container

[SebastianZug]

Description of defect

I would like to flash a microcontroller with mbed code from a Docker container. The solution describe in mbed documation mentioned by @saheerb does not work any more. When I run the container by

docker run -it --privileged -v /dev/disk/by-id:/dev/disk/by-id -v /dev/serial/by-id:/dev/serial/by-id -v /run/udev:/run/udev:ro ghcr.io/armmbed/mbed-os-env:master-latest

I receive an error

> mount /dev/sda /mnt  
> mbedls

Toolchain(s) (name and version) displaying this defect ?

The image is 2 years old and available at mbed-os-env:master-2022.05.21t04.23.55.

What version of Mbed-os are you using (tag or sha) ?

mbed-os-6.15.0 is mentioned in the container description.

What version(s) of tools are you using. List all that apply (E.g. mbed-cli)

I tested both mbed-cli and mbed-tools.

How can we reproduce your issue?

Please run

docker run -it --privileged -v /dev/disk/by-id:/dev/disk/by-id -v /dev/serial/by-id:/dev/serial/by-id -v /run/udev:/run/udev:ro ghcr.io/armmbed/mbed-os-env:master-latest

and execute

mount /dev/sda /mnt   # or /dev/sdb /mnt
mbedls                # or mbed-tools detect

inside the container.
