Cmake failure with 20.11 AzureSphere SDK

Steve Osselton 21

With the latest 20.11 SDK cmake fails as 20.11 has not been added to the set of supported SDK versions in /opt/azurespheresdk/CMakeFiles/AzureSphereToolchainBase.cmake

AzureSphereToolchainBase.cmake:set(sdks_2004_or_later "20.04" "20.07" "20.10")

Manually adding "20.11" to this list fixes the problem. Think the SDK needs an update. Realise this isn't actually a question, is there a better place to post bugs ?

Reference Documentation:

I quote "You must specify the Azure Sphere SDK version for your build by calling the azsphere_configure_tools "

Hello @Steve Osselton , We were unable to repro the issue on our end, could you please confirm if this issue still exists on your side without any manual modifications to cmake file? Wanted to know if this failure occurred at the build stage or at any other stages of running your app? any error images or logs would really help us in this regard.

If your CMakeLists.txt contains:

azsphere_configure_tools (TOOLS_REVISION "20.11")

Then a build will fail with:

CMake Error at /opt/azurespheresdk/CMakeFiles/AzureSphere.cmake:38 (message):
azsphere_configure_tools: unsupported tools version "20.11". Only
['20.04', '20.07', '20.10'] are supported.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
CMakeLists.txt:4 (azsphere_configure_tools)

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

This happens because /opt/azurespheresdk/CMakeFiles/AzureSphereToolchainBase.cmake does not contain a version entry for 20.11

set(sdks_2004_or_later "20.04" "20.07" "20.10")

This is what came with the 20.11 SDK install. Editing this file so you have:

set(sdks_2004_or_later "20.04" "20.07" "20.10" "20.11")

Then things work. CMake is just checking whether sdks_2004_or_later contains the specified TOOLS_REVISION - 20.11

Hello @Steve Osselton , Our team is investigating this issue, unfortunately, we are not able to repro the issue as of now.

Could you please let us know the exact repository or the sample link which you have used? So that we also verify the same from our side...

Thanks

From the AzureSphere online docs I selected the Linux SDK link, which downloaded:

install_azure_sphere_sdk_2011.tar.gz

Has an MD5 of 35c2183e31231efb588c0d126e849eeb

If you extract this you get the install script: install_azure_sphere_sdk.sh which I ran.

Hello @Steve Osselton , Thanks for the update, I just worked with my team on this, and below is the outcome.

All of the sample apps still refer to "20.10" in CMakeList txt file and they should work fine with the default values.

Is there any documentation or other reasons for making these manual changes for adding "20.11" manually?

I'm using version 20.11 of the SDK and according to the documentation this means I should have in my cmake file:

azsphere_configure_tools (TOOLS_REVISION "20.11")

Setting this to "20.10" may work, but is not logical (or documented anywhere). Also the fix is trivial. So while I accept that this may be a work-round, I still maintain it is a bug.
