Two issues with Arm release (Illegal instruction"

[robertsinfosec]

First, in the documentation on the main readme, the comments say to specify "arm" if you want to pull down the arm release. This needs to be "armhf".

export ARCH=amd64 # can be 'i386', 'amd64' or 'arm'
should be:
export ARCH=amd64 # can be 'i386', 'amd64' or 'armhf'

Second, once downloaded and installed (with no issues), no matter what arguments you call, "scw" returns one line "Illegal instruction" and that's it.

Hi @RobSeder

Can you give us the result of : uname -a and file /path/to/scw ?

[robertsinfosec]

uname is:

Linux raspi05 4.1.6+ #810 PREEMPT Tue Aug 18 15:19:58 BST 2015 armv6l GNU/Linux

lsb_release is:

Distributor ID: Debian
Description:    Debian GNU/Linux 7.8 (wheezy)
Release:        7.8
Codename:       wheezy

This is a Raspberry Pi 2. And scw is in: /usr/bin/scw

Ok, can you try with this link instead: https://github.com/scaleway/scaleway-cli/releases/download/v1.4.0/scw_1.4.0_linux_arm.tar.gz

This link is for armv5 and should work aswell on armv6 (raspberry pi) and armv7

root@store:/tmp/scw_1.4.0_linux_arm# ./scw version
Client version: v1.4.0
Go version (client): go1.5
Git commit (client): 37b274939200e31381e1534f9ad19191279427e8
OS/Arch (client): linux/arm
root@store:/tmp/scw_1.4.0_linux_arm# file scw
scw: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped
root@store:/tmp/scw_1.4.0_linux_arm#

I will update the build script to ensure ARM is build for ARMv5 for extra compatibility

Can you tell me if my link works, if no, there is probably another bug and I will need to try on a raspberry pi

[robertsinfosec]

When doing the dpkg install:

dpkg -i /tmp/scw.deb

I get this error:

dpkg-deb: error: `/tmp/scw.deb' is not a debian format archive
dpkg: error processing /tmp/scw.deb (--install):
 subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing: /tmp/scw.deb

and how it looks on the file system:

-rw-r--r--  1 root root 1943639 Aug 28 18:23 scw.deb

I need to test on a Rasbperry PI, stay tuned

[robertsinfosec]

OK, thanks!

Raspberry PI 2: works

Now testing on older Raspberry PI

[robertsinfosec]

@moul first, my mistake, I didn't even read the URL - I thought that was a direct replacement for the .deb download - so I was naming the output file as .deb.

So - realizing that, I download, and unzip that .gz file - but when I run that ./scw, I still do get "Illegal instruction"

Note, I just realized this is a Raspberry Pi B (the older version, not an latest one) - I was connecting to the wrong device. Let me try on (the more relevant) Raspberry Pi 2.

[moul]

Ok no problem, but I think there is really a bug on older Raspberry Pi, so I will try to fix it :)

[robertsinfosec]

By the way, I yes - I confirmed, that .gz file works on Raspberry Pi 2 and a Banana Pi Pro too (similar architecture, also ARM-based).

So, I think the only actual problem is the typo in the main readme. Changing from "arm" to "armhf" allows the download to proceed and that package DOES work on the RPI2 and the BanPi Pro too. Thanks and sorry for the earlier confusion!
