fix: derive SDK toolchain from detected profile - #109
Conversation
There was a problem hiding this comment.
🟡 Changes recommended
The current implementation can regress SDK generation for supported boards not recognized by the analyzer and can override known target mappings, producing incorrect toolchains/eboot boards.
Once you've addressed the issues Copilot identified, you can request another Copilot review.
Pull request overview
This PR fixes a pipeline regression where SDK/toolchain generation was derived from the board name string (and silently fell back to x86_64 for unknown names) instead of using the analyzer’s detected hardware profile, causing MCU builds (e.g., nrf52840) to target the host toolchain.
Changes:
- Added profile-driven SDK generation (
generate_sdk_from_profile) and supporting helpers insdk_generator.py. - Updated
_run_pipeline_stepsto generate the SDK from the detected hardware profile. - Added unit/regression tests to pin legacy fallback behavior and guard the pipeline against reintroducing the name-based regression.

- Known risks: Incorrect toolchain selection for known targets if profile-derived mapping overrides
TARGET_ARCH; pipeline generating an empty SDK dir name whenprofile.mcuis empty; RISC-V eboot board fallback selecting x86. - Assumptions:
TARGET_ARCHis the canonical mapping for existing supported targets; the analyzer DB does not include all supported board strings (e.g., raspi4). - Recommended next step: Implement the suggested fixes, then run the unit suite and (at minimum) the new regression tests.

- generate_sdk_from_profile accepts a "board" override, but the current precedence uses profile.mcu first, so passing board has no effect whenever profile.mcu is set. This can break the stated goal of keeping the SDK directory name derived from the CLI board (e.g., eos-sdk-).

Review — ebuild#109 "fix: derive SDK toolchain from detected profile"
head: 89edcd2 author: harshaaaaw ci: none reported (gh pr checks returned no checks for this head)
Verdict: The diagnosis is right — Step 4 of _run_pipeline_steps discarded the analyzer's profile and looked the board name up in TARGET_ARCH, so any chip outside the 14-entry table silently got an x86_64 SDK. The fix does not conform: the new profile path picks the eBoot board and linker script by a hardcoded guess chain that resolves nearly every detected MCU to nrf52, and it regresses six of the fourteen documented SDK targets to an x86_64 SDK in a directory literally named eos-sdk-. The claim "the legacy path is unchanged" is true; the claim that this is the "only behavior change" is not.
Findings
| # | Severity | File:line | Finding | Recommended fix |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | High | ebuild/sdk_generator.py:35-54 (_eboot_key_for_info) |
For any detected chip not in EBOOT_BOARD, the chain returns "nrf52" whenever info["class"] == "mcu" and the core is not Cortex-M7. EBOOT_BOARD holds exactly the 14 TARGET_ARCH keys, but MCU_DATABASE has 171. So --board stm32f103 (64K flash @ 0x08000000, 20K SRAM) emits eboot/eboot_stm32f103.ld containing the nRF52 map — FLASH ORIGIN = 0x00000000, LENGTH = 1024K / SRAM 256K (sdk_generator.py:140-143 of the diff). Same for samd51, stm32f0, stm32l0, stm32l5, stm32u5, lpc55, ra8m1, corstone300, tms570, and every other Cortex-M/R part. A file whose name says stm32f103 and whose contents describe an nRF52 links successfully and overstates RAM by 12×. Before this PR the class was pc and no linker script was written at all, so this is newly emitted wrong data. |
Do not infer a board. If the resolved key is not in EBOOT_BOARD, keep eboot_board = "x86" and write no linker script, or drive MEMORY from profile.flash_size / profile.ram_size / profile.memory_regions (already populated by the analyzer) and skip the script when they are 0. Delete the stm32h7/rp2040/nrf52 guesses in _eboot_key_for_info. |
| 2 | High | ebuild/sdk_generator.py:164 + ebuild/cli/commands.py:703 |
target = (profile.mcu or "").lower(), and HardwareProfile.mcu defaults to "" (eos_hw_analyzer.py:53). interpret_text only sets mcu when an MCU_DATABASE key is a substring of the board string, and the override block at commands.py:675 only fires when MCU_DATABASE.get(board.lower()) hits. Six documented TARGET_ARCH targets are absent from MCU_DATABASE: raspi3, raspi4, vexpress, riscv_virt, malta, qemu_virt. For those, ebuild pipeline --board raspi4 now yields profile.mcu == "" → _info_from_profile returns None → get_target_info("") → x86_64, written to build/sdk/eos-sdk- (empty name). On master the same command produced aarch64-linux-gnu in eos-sdk-raspi4. This is the exact defect the PR exists to fix, reintroduced for 6 of 14 shipped targets, and it breaks the path documented in sdk/README.md:56 (source build/eos-sdk-raspi4/environment-setup). It also makes deliverable_packager.py:127 (os.path.join(build_dir, "eos-sdk-%s" % target)) miss silently — the if os.path.exists(sdk_src) guard skips the SDK copy with no warning. |
In generate_sdk_from_profile, take the directory/target name from the caller, not from profile.mcu: generate_sdk_from_profile(profile, output_dir, target=None) and in commands.py call generate_sdk_from_profile(profile, str(sdk_dir), target=board.lower()). When _info_from_profile returns None, fall back to get_target_info(target) on that caller-supplied name so the 14 table targets keep their toolchain. |
| 3 | High | ebuild/sdk_generator.py:73-77 (_info_from_profile) |
The first branch tests arch == "arm" before the Cortex-A branch is ever reached, so every 32-bit Cortex-A / ARM11 part gets the bare-metal arm-none-eabi triplet and class: "mcu". Confirmed against MCU_DATABASE: zynq7020 (arch: arm, core: cortex-a9), sama5d3 (cortex-a5), bcm2835 (arm1176jzf-s) all take it. These are Linux-class SoCs; arm-none-eabi has no OS libc, and the repo's own vexpress entry (Cortex-A15) correctly uses arm-linux-gnueabihf. Combined with finding 1 they also receive an nRF52 linker script. The docstring states the function "returns None for anything else so the caller keeps the original x86_64 fallback rather than inventing a toolchain we do not have" — this is precisely inventing one. |
Test the core before the arch: move the "cortex-a" in core or "arm11" in core check above the Cortex-M/R check, and map it to arm-linux-gnueabihf with class: "sbc" when arch == "arm", aarch64-linux-gnu when arch in ("aarch64","arm64"). Guard the first branch with "cortex-m" in core or "cortex-r" in core only — drop the bare arch == "arm" disjunct. |
| 4 | Medium | tests/unit/test_sdk_from_profile.py:276-297 |
test_pipeline_sdk_matches_detected_profile exercises nrf52840 — the single chip for which the nrf52 guess in finding 1 is correct and for which profile.mcu is guaranteed non-empty. No pipeline test covers a TARGET_ARCH target that is not an MCU_DATABASE key, which is why finding 2 is invisible to this suite. test_sdk_from_profile_unknown_mcu_uses_fallback passes an empty arch/core profile and asserts x86_64, so it locks in the finding-2 behaviour as intended rather than catching it. |
Add test_pipeline_sdk_raspi4_stays_aarch64 asserting eos-sdk-raspi4/toolchain.cmake contains aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc, and a test asserting no eboot_*.ld is written (or that MEMORY matches profile.flash_size) for a detected stm32f103. |
| 5 | Medium | PR body — "Risks", "Test plan" | "The only behavior change is that detected ARM/AArch64/RISC-V chips now get the right toolchain instead of x86_64" and "Risks: Low. No public API changed" are contradicted by findings 1-3. The "byte-identical for the 13 known targets" check is scoped to generate_sdk(name), where it does hold — EBOOT_BOARD's key set equals TARGET_ARCH's, so _eboot_board_for_info returns the old value for every table target — but the reviewer-relevant surface is the pipeline, which regresses. Full unit suite: 349 passed, 2 skipped, 1 deselected is a summary line with no command shown; per §28 of the master design and .ai/reviewer.md an unsupported PASS is itself a finding. |
Restate the risk section to name the pipeline-path change, and paste the actual pytest invocation and tail output rather than a count. |
| 6 | Low | ebuild/sdk_generator.py:102 |
canon = _eboot_key_for_info(info, target) or target — _eboot_key_for_info returns a non-empty string on every path ("x86" at worst), so or target is unreachable. Reads as if a None case exists. |

generate_sdk_from_profile(profile, output_dir, hardware_file=None) never uses hardware_file; it propagates the same dead parameter that generate_sdk already carries. A caller passing it gets silence, not a diagnostic. |
Drop the parameter from the new function, or honour it. |
Architecture conformance
ebuild is Tier 1 — Foundation (§21). The change is confined to ebuild/sdk_generator.py and ebuild/cli/commands.py; it adds no import, link line or manifest entry pointing up a tier, and §5.1's "eBuild understands the complete graph but is not a runtime dependency" is respected — nothing here becomes a runtime dependency of EoS or eBoot.
Where it deviates is §9.2, SDK design rules: "Actionable diagnostics with remediation guidance" and "Reproducible lockfiles/manifests for production builds". Both the pre-existing TARGET_ARCH.get(target, TARGET_ARCH["x86_64"]) fallback and the new _info_from_profile → None → x86_64 path resolve an unsupported target to a host toolchain and print success. §9.2 requires the opposite: an unsupported target must produce an actionable diagnostic. The PR body identifies this ("A silent wrong architecture in the headline build command is the kind of bug that ships broken images to real hardware") and then preserves the silence in two new places. Findings 1-3 are all instances of the same §9.2 deviation.
Also relevant to §9.1 (eBuild engine — Configure / Build → Image / Manifest): the SDK's toolchain.cmake is not consumed by the pipeline's own build step. _run_cmake_build (commands.py:724-762) passes EOS_BOARD/EOS_ARCH/EOS_CORE and the EOS_ENABLE_* defines but no CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE; only environment-setup exports one (sdk_generator.py:183). So ebuild pipeline step [6/6] still configures with the host compiler regardless of this fix. That is out of this PR's scope and not counted as a finding against it, but it does mean the "Before/After" panel in the PR body describes the emitted SDK file, not the compiler the pipeline actually invokes — worth stating so the fix is not mistaken for closing the cross-compilation gap.
Proposed changes
Smallest sequence that keeps the pipeline building throughout:
- Thread the target name through instead of deriving it from
profile.mcu, fixing finding 2 without touching the arch logic:and atdef generate_sdk_from_profile(profile, output_dir, target=None): target = (target or getattr(profile, "mcu", "") or "").lower() info = _info_from_profile(profile) or get_target_info(target)
commands.py:703:generate_sdk_from_profile(profile, str(sdk_dir), target=board.lower()). - Reorder
_info_from_profileso the core decides before the arch, and drop the barearch == "arm"disjunct from the Cortex-M/R branch (finding 3). - Replace
_eboot_key_for_info's inference with a lookup plus an honest miss (finding 1):def _eboot_key_for_info(info, target): return target if target in EBOOT_BOARD else None
_eboot_board_for_infothen yields"x86"on a miss,canonisNone, and_write_sdk_filesskips the.ldwhencanon is Nonerather than emitting another chip's memory map. Log one line naming the unmapped part and pointing atEBOOT_BOARD, satisfying §9.2. - Add the two tests in finding 4. Step 3 will fail the existing
test_sdk_from_profile_nrf52840only if it asserts oneboot_nrf52840.ld; it does not, so the suite should stay green.
Not checked
- Nothing was executed. The
ebuildworking tree is dirty (4 files) and the sync step left it untouched per the rules of engagement, so nopytestrun was attempted. All statements above are read fromorigin/master(e5d8052) viagit showplus the PR diff. Findings 1-3 are traced through the code by hand; the specific claim "--board raspi4now writeseos-sdk-" is inferred from the code path, not observed from a run. - No CI signal:
checks.txtis empty, meaninggh pr checksreported no checks for89edcd26. Whether that is "no workflows required on this repo" or a configuration gap was not determined. PR_P0_visual.htmlis referenced in the PR body but is not in the changed-file list (files.txtshows 3 files); not reviewed.- The "13 known targets produce byte-identical SDK files" claim was reasoned about via the key sets of
TARGET_ARCHandEBOOT_BOARD, not reproduced by generating and diffing SDKs. - Whether
arm-none-eabi-gcc,aarch64-linux-gnu-gccetc. are actually present on any CI runner — and so whether a correct triplet yields a working build — was not checked.

Thank you for the detailed architecture review — it was correct on all seven points, and the earlier rounds had papered over the real issues. I rewrote the profile path from scratch and verified every fix by execution, not by reading. 1 (High) — no more board guessing. 2 (High) — target threaded from the caller. 3 (High) — core before arch. 4 (Medium) — tests added. 5 (Medium) — PR body corrected. Risks are now stated as Medium and name the pipeline-path change; the 6 (Low) — unreachable 7 (Low) — dead param removed. Executed verification (independent audit ran the same): Pushed as a single squashed commit. |

Review — ebuild#109 "fix: derive SDK toolchain from detected profile"
head: 66d0e61 author: harshaaaaw ci: none reported
Verdict: Six of the seven findings from the review of 89edcd26 are genuinely closed, and I confirmed each by execution rather than by reading. The seventh — reordering _info_from_profile so the core is tested before the arch — fixed 32-bit Cortex-A and broke 64-bit ARM in the same move: cortex-a now matches before aarch64 is ever considered, so an AArch64 part gets a 32-bit toolchain. That is the same defect this PR exists to fix, pointing the other way.
Findings
| # | Severity | File:line | Finding | Recommended fix |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | High | ebuild/sdk_generator.py:180-186 (_info_from_profile) |
The cortex-a branch is tested before the aarch64/arm64 branch, so every 64-bit ARM part whose core is a Cortex-A — which is essentially all of them — gets the 32-bit arm-linux-gnueabihf triplet with CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR arm. The arch in ("aarch64", "arm64") branch is only reachable for a core string containing neither cortex-a, cortex-m, cortex-r nor arm11. Run against MCU_DATABASE (171 entries), four 64-bit parts take the wrong branch — imx8m (cortex-a53), imx8x (cortex-a35), rk3568 (cortex-a55), rk3588 (cortex-a76) — of which three are not TARGET_ARCH keys and so actually reach the profile path: imx8x, rk3568, rk3588. ebuild pipeline --board rk3588 therefore emits a 32-bit toolchain for a Cortex-A76. rk3588 is a Cortex-A76 part, and "an unknown Cortex-A76 part" is the example named in this file's own comment at :306-308. The previous round's finding 3 asked for the core to be considered before the arch; the correct ordering is 64-bit first, because arch is what distinguishes the two Cortex-A cases. |
Move the arch test between the bare-metal and 32-bit branches: if "cortex-m" in core or "cortex-r" in core: → arm-none-eabiif arch in ("aarch64","arm64"): → aarch64-linux-gnuif "cortex-a" in core or "arm11" in core: → arm-linux-gnueabihfif "riscv" in arch: → …32-bit Cortex-A parts have arch: arm, so they still take the gnueabihf branch and the previous fix is preserved. Add a test for arch=arm64, core=cortex-a72 → aarch64-linux-gnu; the current suite has no case where arch and core disagree, which is why this is invisible to it. |
| 2 | Medium | ebuild/sdk_generator.py:165-173, :306-309 |
The "never emit another chip's data" rule is applied to the linker script but not to the board selection. For a detected-but-unmapped MCU, _eboot_key_for_info correctly returns None and the .ld is skipped with a warning — but _eboot_board_for_info then does EBOOT_BOARD.get(None, "x86") and the writer emits that. Run end to end for a detected stm32f103 (cortex-m3): [warn] no eboot board for stm32f103: skip linker scripteBoot board: x86 (mcu)and the generated files contain #define EBOOT_BOARD_NAME "x86", set(EBOOT_BOARD x86) and set(EBOOT_BOARD_DIR "…/eboot/boards/x86") alongside EBOOT_ARCH arm, EBOOT_CPU cortex-m3, EBOOT_BARE_METAL ON. A consumer of eboot_board.cmake selects eboot's x86 board for a bare-metal ARM target. The warning and the file directly contradict each other on the same run. The comment at :306-308 still states the pre-rework behaviour — "so a detected-but-unmapped chip such as an unknown Cortex-A76 part still gets a sensible eboot board, not x86" — which is the opposite of what the code now does. |
When _eboot_key_for_info returns None, omit EBOOT_BOARD_NAME, EBOOT_BOARD and EBOOT_BOARD_DIR entirely rather than defaulting to x86, so a downstream build fails on the missing variable instead of silently picking the wrong board — the same choice already made for the .ld. Correct the comment. |
| 3 | Medium | checks.txt (empty); gh pr checks 109 → "no checks reported on the 'fix/p0-profile-sdk' branch" |
No CI has run on this head at all. Not one check, passing or failing. Every result in the "Test plan" section — 8 passed, 351 passed, 2 skipped, the 14-target matrix — comes from the author's own machine, and nothing has re-run any of it. That is not a criticism of the numbers (I reproduced the 8) but of the evidence model: this is a change to the toolchain-selection path, from a contributor whose workflow runs appear to need approval, and finding 1 is exactly the sort of thing a cross-checked suite might have surfaced. .github/STANDARDS.md treats a compliance claim without a verifying workflow run as aspirational; the same standard applies to a test claim. |
A maintainer action, not the author's: approve the workflow runs for this PR. Worth noting that ebuild#103 exists precisely because nothing enforces that a PR has run anything before it merges — this PR is a live example of the gap. |
| 4 | Low | ebuild/sdk_generator.py:151 |
_eboot_key_for_info(info, target) no longer reads info — the body is return target if target in EBOOT_BOARD else None. Same dead-parameter shape as the hardware_file argument removed from generate_sdk_from_profile in this round. |
Drop the parameter, or keep it and drop the info argument at both call sites (:221, :172). |
Prior findings
Each checked by running it, not by reading the diff.
1 (High, inventing an eboot board for unmapped chips) — fixed. generate_sdk_from_profile for a detected stm32f103 writes no linker script (linker scripts: NONE) and warns naming the part. No nRF52 memory map. Finding 2 above is the residue of this one, in the board selection rather than the .ld.
2 (High, empty eos-sdk- directory) — fixed. Target is threaded from the caller; the run above produced eos-sdk-stm32f103. The six TARGET_ARCH targets with no analyzer mcu keep canonical names.
3 (High, arch == "arm" before the Cortex-A branch) — fixed for 32-bit, broken for 64-bit. Verified by execution:
arm cortex-a9 -> arm-linux-gnueabihf class=sbc <- prior finding fixed
arm arm1176jzf-s -> arm-linux-gnueabihf class=sbc <- prior finding fixed
arm cortex-m4 -> arm-none-eabi class=mcu
arm64 cortex-a72 -> arm-linux-gnueabihf class=sbc <- finding 1
riscv64 rv64gc -> riscv64-linux-gnu class=virtual
xtensa lx6 -> None (keeps x86_64 fallback)
The first two rows are the fix working. The fourth is finding 1.
4 (Medium, test gaps) — fixed. test_pipeline_sdk_raspi4_stays_aarch64 and test_detected_unmapped_mcu_skips_foreign_linker_script are both present; the file is 8 tests and all 8 pass.
5 (Medium, PR body overclaiming) — fixed. Risks now read Medium, name the pipeline-path change, and the test plan carries the command and its output.
6 (Low, unreachable or target) — fixed. canon = _eboot_key_for_info(info, target) at :221.
7 (Low, dead hardware_file param) — fixed. Signature is generate_sdk_from_profile(profile, output_dir, target=None); legacy generate_sdk untouched.
Other checks
uv run --with pytest --with click --with pyyaml --with rich --with tomli pytest tests/unit/test_sdk_from_profile.py -q → 8 passed, matching the body.
EBOOT_BOARD's key set equals TARGET_ARCH's, confirmed, which is what makes the known-target short-circuit byte-identical to the legacy path.
The generic else arm of the linker-script memory map (FLASH 512K / SRAM 64K) is unreachable: the only mcu-class TARGET_ARCH targets are stm32f4, stm32h7, nrf52, rp2040, and all four have named maps above it. Dead but harmless — worth deleting or turning into an assertion, not worth a finding.
Architecture conformance
Master design §5.1 and §21: conforms. ebuild is Tier 1 – Foundation. The change is confined to ebuild/sdk_generator.py and one CLI call site; no import points up a tier, and the generated SDK is an artefact rather than a dependency, so §5.1's "eBuild understands the complete graph but is not a runtime dependency" holds.
§9.2, the SDK design rules, is the section this PR is measured against, and it is where findings 1 and 2 bite. "Actionable diagnostics with remediation guidance" is satisfied for the skipped linker script — the warning names the part and points at EBOOT_BOARD — and violated by the x86 board that is emitted silently on the same run. "Reproducible lockfiles/manifests for production builds" is the rule finding 1 offends: a manifest that says aarch64 hardware and ships a 32-bit toolchain is not reproducible in any useful sense, it is wrong twice.
§7.1's hierarchy — Architecture -> SoC Family -> SoC -> Board -> Device Configuration — is the right frame for finding 1. The bug is that core (an SoC-level property) is being allowed to determine arch (the level above it), when the design puts architecture first and says explicitly that "architecture and SoC logic must not be copied independently into every board". Testing arch before core for the 64-bit case is not just the smaller fix, it is the one that matches the hierarchy.
I have not opened a fix PR. Findings 1 and 2 exist only on this branch — _info_from_profile and _eboot_key_for_info are added by this PR, and origin/master has neither — so there is nothing on the default branch to fix, and the brief forbids touching a branch belonging to an open PR.
Proposed changes
- Reorder the
aarch64/arm64test above thecortex-atest in_info_from_profile, and add a case where arch and core disagree (finding 1). Four lines moved, one test added. - Emit no eboot board variables when
_eboot_key_for_inforeturnsNone, and fix the comment at:306-308(finding 2). - Drop the unused
infoparameter (finding 4). - Ask a maintainer to approve the workflow runs (finding 3).
Step 1 should happen before merge; it is a wrong-toolchain bug of the same class the PR is fixing.
Not checked
- Nothing was run in CI, by anyone. See finding 3. Everything below is from my own execution on this host, not from a verified pipeline.
- The 14-target regression matrix. The body reports 0 regressions against legacy
generate_sdk. I did not re-run it. I did confirm the mechanism it depends on —set(EBOOT_BOARD) == set(TARGET_ARCH), so anyTARGET_ARCHtarget short-circuits toget_target_infobefore the profile path is reached — which is why I have no reason to doubt it for known targets. Finding 1 is about the targets that path does not cover. 351 passed, 2 skippedfor the wider unit suite. I ran onlytests/unit/test_sdk_from_profile.py. The full suite does not resolve here:uvfails on this project's dev extras (requires-python = ">=3.8"againstflake8>=6.0, which needs>=3.8.1). Pre-existing and unrelated to this PR.- Whether the emitted
toolchain.cmakeis ever consumed. The body says plainly that_run_cmake_buildstill passesEOS_BOARD/EOS_ARCH/EOS_CORErather thanCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE, so the pipeline's own build step does not use the file this PR corrects. I confirmed nothing beyond that statement. It means findings 1 and 2 are latent forebuild pipelinetoday and live for anything that consumes the SDK directly — which is the documented purpose ofenvironment-setup. - The analyzer's own detection. I drove
_info_from_profileandgenerate_sdk_from_profilewith constructed profiles. Whetherinterpret_textactually producesarch: arm64, core: cortex-a76for a--board rk3588invocation, I read fromMCU_DATABASErather than observed end to end. - The local
ebuildclone was left alone — reported dirty by the sync step. All work was in a detached worktree under/tmp.

Review — ebuild#109 "fix: derive SDK toolchain from detected profile"
head: 15076bf author: harshaaaaw ci: none reported
Verdict: All four findings from the 66d0e61d review are closed, and I confirmed each by
execution rather than by reading — the 64-bit ARM ordering is right, and an unmapped MCU now
emits no eboot board at all. The RISC-V branch this round adds carries the same defect the
ARM ordering just fixed, pointing the other way: every 32-bit RISC-V part gets a 64-bit
Linux toolchain, and the new tests contain no RISC-V case that would notice.
Prior findings
Each checked by running it.
1 (High, cortex-a tested before aarch64) — fixed. Swept all 171 MCU_DATABASE
entries; every 64-bit ARM part now resolves correctly:
ok imx8m arm64 cortex-a53 -> aarch64-linux-gnu
ok imx8x arm64 cortex-a35 -> aarch64-linux-gnu
ok rk3568 arm64 cortex-a55 -> aarch64-linux-gnu
ok rk3588 arm64 cortex-a76 -> aarch64-linux-gnu wrong: 0
and the 32-bit fix from the previous round is preserved — arm/cortex-a9 and
arm/arm1176jzf-s still give arm-linux-gnueabihf, class=sbc. The ordering is exactly the
recommended one and the docstring at :177-188 now states it.
2 (Medium, EBOOT_BOARD.get(None, "x86") contradicting the skipped-linker warning) —
fixed. _eboot_board_for_info returns None for an unmapped target, and the writer omits
the variables. Verified end to end: a detected stm32f103 prints eBoot board: none (unmapped) (mcu) and no EBOOT_BOARD_NAME, EBOOT_BOARD or EBOOT_BOARD_DIR is written.
The comment that stated the old behaviour is gone.
3 (Medium, no CI on this head) — not fixed, and not the author's to fix. See finding 4.
4 (Low, dead info parameter) — fixed. _eboot_key_for_info(target) takes one argument.

The if "riscv" in arch: branch this PR adds returns riscv64-linux-gnu and arch: riscv64 for any RISC-V arch string, so riscv32 gets a 64-bit hosted toolchain. Three of the 171 MCU_DATABASE entries are riscv32: sifive_e (rv32imac), gd32vf103 (rv32imac), esp32c3 (rv32imc). Generated the SDK for esp32c3 end to end — a bare-metal rv32imc MCU with no MMU: toolchain.cmake: CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Linux / CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR riscv64 / CMAKE_C_COMPILER riscv64-linux-gnu-gcceboot_board.cmake: EBOOT_ARCH riscv64 / EBOOT_CPU rv32imc / EBOOT_BARE_METAL OFFEBOOT_ARCH riscv64 next to EBOOT_CPU rv32imc in the same generated file. This is the defect class prior finding 1 was about, reintroduced by the branch added to fix it. The repo ships no riscv32 toolchain — core/eos/toolchains/ and core/eboot/toolchains/ hold only riscv64-linux-gnu.* and riscv64-unknown-elf.cmake — and TARGET_ARCH has no riscv32 key. |
The function's own docstring gives the answer: "Only architectures the SDK ships a toolchain for … return a dict; everything else returns None so the caller keeps the original x86_64 fallback instead of inventing a toolchain we do not have." Make riscv32 behave like xtensa — if arch == "riscv32": return None before the "riscv" in arch branch. That is honest and one line. Adding a real rv32 target (riscv64-unknown-elf with -march=rv32imac -mabi=ilp32, class: mcu) is the better outcome but needs a toolchain file that does not exist yet, so it belongs in its own PR. |
| 2 | Medium | ebuild/sdk_generator.py:207 |
The same branch hardcodes "class": "virtual" for every detected RISC-V part, so real silicon is labelled a QEMU virtual machine. class is not cosmetic: _write_sdk_files:334 and :355 derive EBOOT_BARE_METAL from info["class"] == "mcu", and :288/:301 publish it. TARGET_ARCH itself distinguishes the two cases — riscv_virt is class: virtual (QEMU virt), sifive_u is class: sbc (a real FU740) — so the distinction exists and detection discards it. |
"class": "sbc", mirroring the Cortex-A branch directly above. virtual is a property of an explicitly named QEMU target, not of a detected chip; nothing detected off a real board should claim it. |
| 3 | Medium | tests/unit/test_sdk_from_profile.py (whole file) |
The 11 new tests contain no RISC-V case. The only occurrence of the string is _eboot_key_for_info("riscv_virt") at :278, which tests the board-key map, not the toolchain branch. So the branch this PR adds is entirely uncovered, which is why finding 1 is invisible to a green suite — the same structural gap as the previous round's finding 4 (no case where arch and core disagree), now on the RISC-V side. I ran the file: 10 tests collected, 10 passed, 0 failed. |
Add two cases beside test_profile_aarch64_core_cortex_a72_is_64bit_toolchain: arch="riscv32", core="rv32imc" → whatever finding 1 settles on, and arch="riscv64", core="rv64gc" → riscv64-linux-gnu with class: sbc. A table-driven test over every distinct (arch, core) pair in MCU_DATABASE, asserting the triplet's word size matches arch, would have caught both rounds' findings and is about fifteen lines. |
| 4 | Medium | ebuild/sdk_generator.py:232 |
The generated toolchain.cmake does not configure for a bare-metal target, and this PR is what makes that path common. set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Linux) is emitted unconditionally, including for arm-none-eabi. Ran it: cmake -S . -B b -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=…/eos-sdk-stm32f103/toolchain.cmake… undefined reference to '_close' … undefined reference to '_lseek'-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred! rc=1CMake links a full test executable during the compiler check, which cannot succeed for bare metal without a startup file. No -mcpu/-mthumb is emitted either. Pre-existing — the line is context, not added — but before this PR only the four TARGET_ARCH MCU entries reached it; now every detected Cortex-M part does, which is dozens. A fix that routes many more targets onto a path that does not configure has not finished. |
if info["class"] == "mcu": set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Generic) and set(CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE STATIC_LIBRARY), plus -mcpu=${cpu} and -mthumb for Cortex-M in CMAKE_C_FLAGS_INIT. Worth its own PR if it grows, but a cmake configure over one generated SDK belongs in the test suite either way — the suite currently asserts the file's contents and never that CMake accepts it. |
| 5 | Medium | checks.txt (empty); GitHub API |
No CI has run on this head. Queried it: actions/runs?head_sha=15076bf9… returns 3 runs — CodeQL, Simulation Test, CI — ebuild — every one status=completed, conclusion=action_required, and commits/15076bf9…/status is {"state":"pending","count":0}. The runs are queued behind fork-workflow approval, so nothing has executed. Every figure in the Test plan comes from the author's machine; I reproduced the ones I could, and finding 1 is what a cross-checked run over the full database would plausibly have surfaced. .github/STANDARDS.md treats a compliance claim with no verifying workflow run as aspirational; a test claim is no different. |
Maintainer action: approve the workflow runs for this PR. Carried from the previous review because it is still true, not to press the author. ebuild#103 exists because nothing enforces that a PR has run anything before merging; this PR is a live instance. |
| 6 | Low | ebuild/sdk_generator.py:147-148 |
get_eboot_board(target) still returns EBOOT_BOARD.get(target, "x86") — the exact x86 default prior finding 2 removed from _eboot_board_for_info. It has no callers: grepped the package and the test tree, zero hits outside its own definition. A dead helper preserving the removed bug is how the bug comes back. |
Delete it. If something outside this repo imports it, it is worth knowing that now rather than after the next regression. |
Architecture conformance
Master design §9.2 (SDK design rules — "reproducible lockfiles/manifests for production
builds", "actionable diagnostics", one source of truth for CLI/IDE), §7.1 (Architecture → SoC
→ SoC family → Board → Device Configuration; "Architecture and SoC logic must not be copied
independently into every board"), §21 Tier 1 – Foundation, §5.1.
Conforms in direction; findings 1 and 4 are §7.1 and §9.2 defects rather than layering
ones.
Driving the SDK from the detected profile instead of a 14-entry name table is the §7.1
direction: the hierarchy is meant to derive board facts from architecture and SoC, not to
require every board to be enumerated. commands.py:703-706 makes that switch cleanly and
comments why. Nothing in the diff points up a tier — sdk_generator reads
ebuild.eos_ai.eos_hw_analyzer inside its own package, and eBuild is explicitly allowed to
understand the whole graph while not being a runtime dependency (§5.1).
Where §7.1 is not yet satisfied is width. The hierarchy's whole point is that architecture is
the discriminator, and both findings 1 and 2 come from a branch that reads core and arch
and then discards the part of arch that distinguishes rv32 from rv64. §9.2's "actionable
diagnostics" is the other half: EBOOT_ARCH riscv64 beside EBOOT_CPU rv32imc is not a
diagnostic a developer can act on, because nothing reports a conflict.

Proposed changes
if arch == "riscv32": return Noneahead of the RISC-V branch (finding 1). One line, and
it makes the function match its own docstring."class": "sbc"for riscv64 (finding 2).- Add the two RISC-V test cases, and ideally the table-driven width assertion over
MCU_DATABASE(finding 3). - Delete
get_eboot_board(finding 6). - Finding 4 is larger than this PR and deserves its own — but add a
cmakeconfigure over
one generated bare-metal SDK to the suite, wherever it lands. Asserting file contents and
never that CMake accepts the file is how this survived.
No fix PR opened: findings 1, 2, 3 and 6 are all on this PR's branch, and the brief forbids
touching a branch belonging to an open PR.
Not checked
- No CI has run on this head (finding 5), so nothing here has been independently verified

Review — ebuild#109 "fix: derive SDK toolchain from detected profile"
head: ad803b9 author: harshaaaaw ci: none ran (checks.txt is empty)
Verdict: The fix is correct and the central regression claim holds — I reproduced the 14-target matrix against origin/master myself and got 0 regressions, and the 12-test suite passes. The findings from the earlier rounds are genuinely closed. What is left is one false statement in the body about the legacy path (verified false by running it), and three small leftovers of the same shape earlier rounds were already trimming.
The "no CI has run" point is already made in this thread by you and by prior review; I am not re-litigating it, only recording that checks.txt is empty for this head, so every number below is mine or yours, never a green check.
Findings
| # | Severity | File:line | Finding | Recommended fix |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Medium | PR body, "How" — "Legacy generate_sdk(target) is unchanged." |
Not true for any target outside TARGET_ARCH, and that path is user-reachable: ebuild sdk --target <anything> (ebuild/cli/integration.py:601-623) validates nothing before calling generate_sdk. Run against both trees for nrf52840: master writes set(EBOOT_BOARD x86) and set(EBOOT_BOARD_DIR ".../boards/x86") plus #define EBOOT_BOARD_NAME "x86"; this head writes none of the three. The change is defensible — it is the same fail-loud choice as the linker script — but it is a behaviour change to a public function on a documented CLI, stated in the body as its opposite. |
Say what it does. Then make the diagnostic match: the [warn] line at sdk_generator.py:406 is behind elif info["class"] == "mcu", and an unknown chip falls back to x86_64 whose class is pc, so this path prints only eBoot board: none (unmapped) (pc) — an info line, with no remediation. Master design §9.2 asks for "actionable diagnostics with remediation guidance". Hoist the warning out of the mcu branch and key it on eboot_board is None. |
| 2 | Low | ebuild/sdk_generator.py:169 |
_eboot_board_for_info(info, target) never uses info — the body is key = _eboot_key_for_info(target) and a dict lookup, and the docstring says "from the resolved target name". This is the same dead parameter the previous round removed from _eboot_key_for_info ("Finding 4 (Low, dead info param). Dropped."); the sibling function kept it. |
def _eboot_board_for_info(target):, and update the one call site at :317. |

linker_key = canon if canon in TARGET_ARCH else None cannot change anything today: canon is already None or an EBOOT_BOARD key, and TARGET_ARCH and EBOOT_BOARD have identical key sets (both exactly the same 14 names — I compared them). Same class as the unreachable or target removed last round. It does guard one real future case (an EBOOT_BOARD key with no TARGET_ARCH entry), so it is defensible defence rather than a bug. |
Either linker_key = canon and drop the test, or keep it with a one-line comment saying it exists for the day the two maps diverge. Silent unreachable code is the thing worth removing, not the intent. |

The PR body committed as a file. It is already three revisions stale and disagrees with everything around it: PR_DESCRIPTION.md:71,93 say 10 passed / 351 passed; the PR body says 10 passed / 353 passed; your latest comment says 12 passed / 355 passed; the head actually gives 12 passed and 356 passed, 2 skipped. Merging it puts a wrong test count in master permanently, where nothing will ever correct it. |
Delete it from the diff. The PR body is the copy that stays current. |
| 5 | Low | PR body, "Test plan" | Same drift one level up: the plan says 10 passed in 1.5s and enumerates six tests; the head has twelve, including the four RISC-V and width-class guards added in the last two rounds. Since this is the section a reviewer checks the claims against, it should be the section that is current. |
Re-run and paste. 12 passed is a better number than 10 and it is the true one. |
Architecture conformance
Conforms, and improves conformance. ebuild is Tier 1 Foundation (§21) and toolchain/target selection is squarely eBuild's job under §9.1 ("Toolchains / Packages / Targets" feeding one dependency graph). Nothing here creates a runtime dependency, so §5.1's "eBuild understands the complete graph but is not a runtime dependency" holds. Dependency direction is unchanged: sdk_generator gains no imports, and commands.py swaps one symbol from the same module.
The substance of the change is §9.2 compliance. "Actionable diagnostics with remediation guidance" and, by §28, not representing a capability you do not have: emitting an x86_64 toolchain for a detected Cortex-M4 was the platform silently claiming a target it could not build, and refusing to invent another chip's memory map is the right reading of the same rule. Finding 1 is the one place the new code stops short of it.
One observation, not a finding and not introduced here: the profile comes from ebuild/eos_ai/eos_hw_analyzer.py, an in-repo package named eos_ai that is not the eAI product of §16.1. Appendix C ("Consolidate overlapping AI names under eAI") already calls this out as a thing to fix, so the design is not silent — but a Tier-1 build tool carrying a Tier-3 product's brand on an unrelated module is exactly the confusion that section exists to prevent, and it is worth a rename in some later PR.
Proposed changes
sdk_generator.py— findings 2 and 3, four lines total, no behaviour change.sdk_generator.py:400-407— move the unmapped-board warning out of themcubranch:Then delete theif eboot_board is None: print(" [warn] no eboot board for " + target + ": no EBOOT_BOARD/" "EBOOT_BOARD_DIR emitted and no linker script written. " "Run `ebuild sdk --list` for supported targets.")
elif info["class"] == "mcu"warn branch, which this subsumes.git rm PR_DESCRIPTION.md.- Correct the two body statements: the legacy-path sentence, and the test plan.
None of this blocks merge on correctness. Finding 1 does need the sentence changed before merge, because a reviewer reading "legacy is unchanged" will not check the legacy path, and it is the one thing in the PR that changes behaviour outside the pipeline.

Review — ebuild#109 "fix: derive SDK toolchain from detected profile"
head: 8037b91 author: harshaaaaw ci: none reported (see CI)
Verdict: The pipeline path is now correct and I reproduced every number in the test plan. But the fix lands on one of two SDK entry points, and the PR's own flagship board still ends up with no eBoot board and no linker script — using a mapping that already exists two files away and already knows the answer.
Prior rounds' points were re-checked and are not repeated here. The TARGET_ARCH byte-identity, the aarch64-over-cortex-a ordering, the riscv32 fallback, the class: sbc label, the None-on-miss eboot key, the removed dead params and the corrected PR body are all in place on this head.
Findings
| # | Severity | File:line | Finding | Recommended fix |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | High | ebuild/cli/integration.py:623 |
ebuild sdk --target nrf52840 still calls the legacy generate_sdk and still emits x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc. The PR body's own description of the bug — "the firmware targets a desktop PC and never compiles for the chip" — remains exactly true of the sdk command, which is the one a developer reaches for by name. sdk_generator.py:496 (python -m ebuild.sdk_generator) is the same. §9.2 requires one source of truth for the CLI; there are now two generators that disagree for the same board, and only one of them writes eos_product_enables.h. |
Resolve the profile inside generate_sdk before falling back: look target up in EosHardwareAnalyzer.MCU_DATABASE (it has nrf52840) and hand the result to _info_from_profile, keeping the x86_64 fallback on a miss. That leaves one code path and every existing caller keeps working. Add a test asserting generate_sdk("nrf52840", …) no longer yields a host toolchain — which means retiring test_sdk_from_name_falls_back_to_x86_64, whose docstring currently pins the defect as intended behaviour. |
| 2 | High | ebuild/sdk_generator.py:148-159, :317 |
_eboot_key_for_info is an exact-key lookup into EBOOT_BOARD, which is keyed by TARGET_ARCH target names (raspi4, riscv_virt, malta). A detected MCU name never hits it, so pipeline --board nrf52840 prints [warn] no eboot board for nrf52840 … no linker script written — for a board eBoot ships. ebuild/eos_ai/eos_project_generator.py:100 already carries MCU_TO_EBOOT_BOARD, keyed by MCU-name prefix, with "nrf52840": "nrf52" at line 106, and _resolve_eboot_board(profile) at line 820 is the resolver. Verified: it returns 'nrf52' for this PR's own example profile and '' for stm32f103. So the fail-loud case the PR wants is available with the flagship board mapped — the PR just doesn't consult it. The premise of the PR is "the analyzer had already answered the question; the build step discarded it"; that is still half-true after the fix. |
In _write_sdk_files, when the exact EBOOT_BOARD lookup misses and a profile is in hand, fall back to _resolve_eboot_board(profile); None/"" from both keeps today's skip-and-warn. Then thread the profile into _write_sdk_files (it currently only gets target and info). Test: nrf52840 → set(EBOOT_BOARD nrf52) plus eboot_nrf52.ld; stm32f103 → still no board, still warns. Note the two tables disagree on shape as well as content — one keyed by target, one by MCU prefix — which is worth collapsing into one lookup rather than a third. |
| 3 | Medium | ebuild/sdk_generator.py:312-316, :353-356, :363-365 |
The comment justifies omitting EBOOT_BOARD / EBOOT_BOARD_DIR on the grounds that "a downstream build fails on the missing variable instead of silently selecting the wrong (x86) board". CMake does not error on an undefined variable — ${EBOOT_BOARD_DIR} expands to the empty string, so the likely outcome is …/eboot/boards/ (a wrong path) or an empty board name, not a failure. Nothing in this repo consumes those variables (grepped *.cmake, CMakeLists.txt, *.py: the only other hits are MCU_TO_EBOOT_BOARD), so the claim is about an out-of-tree eBoot build and has not been tested from the consuming side. .ai/platform.md is explicit that this has to be exercised from the consumer, not asserted. |
Make it actually fail closed: when there is no board, write message(FATAL_ERROR "eos-sdk-<target>: no eBoot board for <target>; regenerate for a supported target (ebuild sdk --list)") into eboot_board.cmake instead of writing nothing. Any consumer that includes the file then fails by name, which is what the comment claims and is testable in-repo. |
| 4 | Low | ebuild/sdk_generator.py:210,214,218,222 (all four _info_from_profile branches) |
"vendor": "Generic" is hardcoded, though HardwareProfile.vendor is populated by the analyzer (eos_hw_analyzer.py:250-253 gives SiFive, GigaDevice, Espressif; the nRF52 rows give Nordic). Verified: a detected Nordic nrf52840 produces Vendor: Generic in sdk-info.txt and #define EBOOT_TARGET_VENDOR "Generic". The PR body says the profile path derives the SDK from "core, arch, vendor, EOS_ENABLE_* flags" — vendor is the one field it drops. mcu_family is threaded through to soc right beside it, so this reads as an oversight. |
"vendor": getattr(profile, "vendor", "") or "Generic" in all four branches. |
| 5 | Low | ebuild/sdk_generator.py:224 |
The 32-bit guard is exact (arch == "riscv32") while the branch it guards is a substring test ("riscv" in arch). All four RISC-V rows in MCU_DATABASE spell it riscv32/riscv64 today — verified, so there is no live defect — but a row spelled rv32, riscv32imac or riscv-32 falls straight through to riscv64-linux-gnu. That is the same width-class bug the previous round fixed, re-enterable through a different spelling. |
if arch.startswith("riscv32") or "rv32" in core: return None. The core half also catches a row that records only rv32imac. |
CI
checks.txt is empty and gh pr checks 109 reports "no checks reported on the 'fix/p0-profile-sdk' branch". The author states this and declines to claim a green run, which is the right call. The cause is identifiable, though, and it is not a broken workflow:
gh run list --branch fix/p0-profile-sdk

action_required means the runs are queued awaiting maintainer approval, not that they failed or were misconfigured. ci.yml and codeql.yml both trigger on pull_request: branches: [master, main] and this PR's base is master, so the triggers are correct. The same state affects ebuild#110 (fix/windows-ninja-test-target-paths), so this is the repo's outside-contributor approval policy, not anything about this branch.
Action for a maintainer, not the author: click "Approve and run workflows" on this PR, and either grant these contributors org membership or relax Settings → Actions → "Approval for running fork pull request workflows" to Require approval for first-time contributors who are new to GitHub. Until then no ebuild PR from an outside contributor can produce evidence, and the ebuild#103 gap the author refers to cannot be closed by code.

Architecture conformance
Deviates on §9.2, conforms elsewhere.
- §9.2, "One source of truth for CLI, VS Code and EoStudio" — deviates. Two SDK generators now produce different artifacts for the same board (finding 1). The design rule is about the CLI/GUI split, but the same-repo split is the sharper version of it:
.ai/tooling.mdsays "a fix belongs in the SDK, not in the GUI's copy of the logic", and the reasoning applies to a second copy inside the SDK just as well. - §9.2, "Actionable diagnostics with remediation guidance" — conforms. The warning names the target and points at
ebuild sdk --list. The remediation is only honest once finding 2 is fixed, though: today it tells the developer their supported board is unsupported. - §21 tier placement — correct. Toolchain selection is Tier 1 (
ebuild) developer-platform work, and nothing here reaches into a product repo. §5.1 is not engaged: no dependency direction changes, andebuildis allowed to understand the whole graph while not being a runtime dependency. - §10.1 identity — finding 4 is a small instance of an incomplete component contract: identity includes publisher/vendor, and the generator has the vendor and throws it away.
Proposed changes
Smallest sequence that keeps every caller working:
- Finding 4 and 5 first — two one-line edits, no behaviour change for any board that works today.
- Finding 2 — thread
profileinto_write_sdk_filesand fall back to_resolve_eboot_board. This is what makes the PR's headline example produce a usable SDK, so it belongs in this PR, not a follow-up. - Finding 3 — turn the omission into a
FATAL_ERRORline so the fail-closed claim is enforced and testable. - Finding 1 — move the profile lookup into
generate_sdkand deletegenerate_sdk_from_profile's separate entry point, or keep the wrapper and have it delegate. Do this as its own PR: it changesebuild sdkbehaviour for every unmapped target and needs its own characterization pass, including retiringtest_sdk_from_name_falls_back_to_x86_64.
Steps 1-3 keep the 12-test suite green as-is. Step 4 requires that one test to change, which is the signal it is a behaviour change and should not ride along.

# fix: derive SDK toolchain from detected profile ## What `ebuild pipeline --board nrf52840` detects the chip (ARM Cortex-M4, Nordic) but then emits an x86_64 toolchain, so the firmware targets a desktop PC and never compiles for the chip. The SDK step now uses the detected profile, so the toolchain matches the hardware. ## Why Step 4 of `_run_pipeline_steps` called `generate_sdk(board.lower(), ...)`, passing the board *name string*, not the profile. `nrf52840` is not a `TARGET_ARCH` key, so it fell back to x86_64. The analyzer had already answered the question; the build step discarded it. ## How Added `generate_sdk_from_profile(profile, output_dir, target=None)`: 1. **Known target wins.** If the caller-supplied target (the board string the pipeline resolved) is a `TARGET_ARCH` key, use that canonical mapping exactly as the legacy `generate_sdk` would. Every supported board is byte-identical to the pre-fix behavior. 2. **Unknown chip, derive from profile.** The **architecture** is tested before the core, so 64-bit ARM (`arch` = `aarch64`/`arm64`) wins over a Cortex-A core string, while 32-bit Cortex-A / ARM11 parts keep `arm-linux-gnueabihf` + `class: sbc`; AArch64 / RISC-V map to their shipped triplets. `riscv32` and other architectures with no shipped toolchain return `None` and keep the honest x86_64 fallback. 3. **eBoot board resolves from the profile.** A single resolver (`_resolve_eboot_board_dir`) does an exact target-name match in `EBOOT_BOARD`, then an MCU-prefix match against the analyzer's `MCU_TO_EBOOT_BOARD` (so the flagship `nrf52840` -> `nrf52`, which the old target-name-only lookup missed). On a miss the writer appends a `FATAL_ERROR` to `eboot_board.cmake` so a consumer fails closed instead of expanding an empty `EBOOT_BOARD_DIR`. **Note (behaviour change, stated honestly):** for a target *outside* `TARGET_ARCH` reached via `ebuild sdk --target <name>` (e.g. `nrf52840`), the legacy `generate_sdk` wrote `EBOOT_BOARD x86`, whereas this path now writes no eboot board at all (fail-loud). Known `TARGET_ARCH` targets are byte-identical to legacy, including their eboot board. **F1 deferral (per architecture review):** making the legacy `ebuild sdk --target <name>` path also resolve via the profile is a separate behaviour change — it touches every unmapped target and retires `test_sdk_from_name_falls_back_to_x86_64` — so it is scoped to its own follow-up PR, not this one. ## Test plan (commands + results, executed) ``` PYTHONPATH= python -m pytest tests/unit/test_sdk_from_profile.py -q 16 passed in 1.4s ``` The 16 tests cover: legacy name fallback (`test_sdk_from_name_falls_back_to_x86_64`), nrf52840 profile (`test_sdk_from_profile_nrf52840`), the pipeline regression guard (`test_pipeline_sdk_matches_detected_profile`), raspi4 aarch64 preservation (`test_pipeline_sdk_raspi4_stays_aarch64`), unmapped MCU skipping a foreign linker script (`test_detected_unmapped_mcu_skips_foreign_linker_script`), unmapped MCU emitting no x86 eboot board (`test_unmapped_mcu_emits_no_x86_eboot_board`), unknown-MCU fallback (`test_sdk_from_profile_unknown_mcu_uses_fallback`), known-target byte-identical matrix (`test_known_targets_do_not_regress_through_pipeline`), 64-bit ARM ordering (`test_profile_aarch64_core_cortex_a72_is_64bit_toolchain`), riscv64 class (`test_profile_riscv64_is_sbc_class`), riscv32 honest fallback (`test_profile_riscv32_uses_honest_fallback`), eboot-key shape (`test_eboot_key_is_target_name_or_none`), nrf52840->nrf52 board via MCU prefix (`test_pipeline_nrf52840_gets_eboot_nrf52`), stm32f103 fail-closed (`test_stm32f103_still_no_eboot_and_fails_closed`), RISC-V alternate-spelling guard (`test_riscv_alt_spelling_falls_back`), and vendor threading (`test_vendor_threaded_from_profile`). Full unit suite (this branch): `359 passed, 2 skipped` (3 unrelated env failures: `test_footprint` needs an external `size` tool; `test_version_fallback` belongs to a separate branch and is not in this PR). 14-target pipeline matrix (ran it): every `TARGET_ARCH` target produces a byte-identical `CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR` + `EBOOT_BOARD` through the pipeline vs legacy `generate_sdk` — **0 regressions**, including the six targets the analyzer gives no `mcu` for (raspi3, raspi4, vexpress, riscv_virt, malta, qemu_virt). `rp2040` (board -> `samd51`) gets no per-chip linker script in both legacy and this head, since `samd51` is not a `TARGET_ARCH` key — unchanged, not a regression. ## Out of scope The image step and budget checks are separate issues. The SDK's `toolchain.cmake` is written for `environment-setup` consumers; `_run_cmake_build` still passes `EOS_BOARD`/`EOS_ARCH`/`EOS_CORE`, not `CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE`, so the pipeline's own build step does not yet consume it — noted so this is not mistaken for closing the cross-compilation gap. Bare-metal `CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME` configuration (so `cmake` accepts the generated toolchain) is a pre-existing gap in its own PR. F1 (profile resolution in the legacy `ebuild sdk --target` path) is deferred to its own PR per the architecture review. ## Risks Medium, scoped to SDK generation. Detected ARM/AArch64/RISC-V chips now get the right toolchain; a detected MCU whose eboot board ebuild does not ship fails closed (FATAL_ERROR) instead of a wrong memory map; known targets unchanged. No public API changed. No CI run has executed on this head — every figure above is from the author's machine.

Review — ebuild#109 "fix: derive SDK toolchain from detected profile"
head: 844366b author: harshaaaaw ci: pending (no checks reported)
Verdict: The core fix is right and the eight prior review rounds closed real defects. This head, however, introduces a new regression through the F2 MCU-prefix resolver: a detected chip that prefix-matches a board eBoot ships now receives that sibling's memory map, silently and with no warning — stm32f401 gets a linker script declaring 1024K flash / 128K SRAM against real silicon of 256K / 64K. master wrote no linker script at all for these parts, so this is strictly worse than the behaviour being replaced, on the same path the PR exists to fix.
I have not repeated any point already made in the eight prior rounds. All three findings below are new to head 844366b.
Findings
| # | Severity | File:line | Finding | Recommended fix |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | High | ebuild/sdk_generator.py:171 (with :390) | Prefix match emits a sibling chip's memory map, silently. _resolve_eboot_board_dir stage 2 does mcu.startswith(prefix) over MCU_TO_EBOOT_BOARD, whose keys are chip families ("stm32f4", "nrf52", "stm32h7"). Any part in the family matches, and linker_key (:390) then selects that family's hard-coded MEMORY block. The flash/RAM figures are per-family, not per-part, so every non-flagship sibling gets over-declared memory. Verified by execution against this head: stm32f401 (real 256K/64K) → eboot_stm32f401.ld with FLASH 1024K / SRAM 128K; nrf52810 (real 192K/24K) → FLASH 1024K / SRAM 256K; stm32h750 (real 128K flash) → FLASH 2048K. No warning is printed in any of these cases, because the [warn] at :430 is inside if eboot_board is None: (:423) and eboot_board resolved successfully. On origin/master all three of these targets produced ld=NONE (get_target_info falls through to x86_64, class == "pc", so the .ld block never ran) — so this is a new regression, not a pre-existing gap. Consequence: the linker places .text/.rodata past physical flash and sets _estack above physical SRAM, producing an image that will not program or will not boot. |
Gate the per-chip .ld on an exact match, not the family prefix. At :390 use the resolved target rather than the board dir: linker_key = target if target in TARGET_ARCH else None. Keep the prefix match for EBOOT_BOARD/EBOOT_BOARD_DIR (which is a directory selection and genuinely family-wide) but never let it choose a MEMORY block. Then hoist the [warn] out of the eboot_board is None branch so a resolved-board-but-no-linker-script case still tells the user why no .ld was written. This restores master's "no map" behaviour for siblings while keeping the nrf52840 → nrf52 board resolution the F2 round asked for. |
| 2 | Medium | ebuild/sdk_generator.py:466-470 (with :423) | Fail-closed does not cover board-resolves-but-toolchain-does-not. When stage 2 resolves a board but _info_from_profile returns None, info falls back to get_target_info(target) → x86_64 (:470), while eboot_board is non-None, so the FATAL_ERROR at :423-431 is skipped. The two halves of the output then contradict each other and the file looks valid. Verified for a detected Xtensa ESP32: eboot_board.cmake contains set(EBOOT_BOARD esp32) and set(EBOOT_ARCH x86_64) and set(EBOOT_BARE_METAL OFF); eboot_target_config.h contains EBOOT_BOARD_NAME "esp32" with EBOOT_TARGET_ARCH "x86_64". The only console output is eBoot board: esp32 (pc). The PR body's claim that "on a miss the writer appends a FATAL_ERROR so a consumer fails closed" holds only for a board miss, not a toolchain miss. |
Fail closed on either miss, not just the board miss. In generate_sdk_from_profile, when target not in TARGET_ARCH and _info_from_profile(profile) returns None, treat it as unsupported: pass a sentinel through so _write_sdk_files writes the FATAL_ERROR and emits no EBOOT_BOARD, instead of pairing a real board directory with an x86_64 arch. Add a test for a detected Xtensa profile. |
| 3 | Low | ebuild/sdk_generator.py:177-182 | _eboot_board_for_info is dead code. Its docstring says it is "kept only so external callers don't break", but it is private (leading underscore), it was introduced on this branch rather than inherited, and git grep _eboot_board_for_info over the head tree returns exactly one hit — its own def line. There is no caller to break. |
Delete it. |
Architecture conformance
Deviates on one point, otherwise conforms.
New module-scope import at ebuild/sdk_generator.py:8-10:
from ebuild.eos_ai.eos_project_generator import EosProjectGenerator
MCU_TO_EBOOT_BOARD = EosProjectGenerator.MCU_TO_EBOOT_BOARDMaster design §21 places ebuild in Tier 1 (Foundation); §4 lists sdk_generator under EmbeddedOS SDK, and eAI is Tier 3 — Advanced. §5.1 states "lower layers never depend on higher-level products", and §16.1 is explicit that "eAI is optional". This import makes a Tier-1 SDK module take an eager, unconditional dependency on the Tier-3 eAI package — the dependency points up a tier, which §5.1 and .ai/architect.md both call a defect.
It is measurably eager, not nominal: ebuild/eos_ai/__init__.py re-exports EosHardwareAnalyzer, EosProjectGenerator, ComponentDB, KiCadParser, EagleParser and LLMClient at module scope, so importing the submodule runs the whole package __init__. Verified:
origin/master:import ebuild.sdk_generator→ 0eos_aimodules loaded, 0.024s.- this head: → 7 modules loaded —
ebuild.eos_ai,.component_db,.eagle_parser,.eos_hw_analyzer,.eos_project_generator,.kicad_parser,.llm_integration— 0.052s.
So ebuild sdk --target stm32f4, a path with no hardware-analysis or AI involvement at all, now pulls in the LLM integration module. This also breaks the convention the rest of the repo follows: all six other from ebuild.eos_ai imports in ebuild/cli/commands.py (:23, :650-652, :1708-1711, :1840-1841) are function-scoped precisely to keep eAI off the default import path. This diff adds the only module-scope one outside the eos_ai package itself.
This is not a blocker for the fix and does not need a repo split (§21.1 is not in play — nothing is moving repos). The smallest correction keeps the direction pointing down.
Everything else conforms: the fix is confined to SDK generation, no public API changed, no manifest or link entry points up a tier, and §9.2's "actionable diagnostics with remediation guidance" is served by the ebuild sdk --list remediation text — subject to finding 1, which suppresses the diagnostic in the sibling-chip case.
No weakened check: nothing is skipped, xfailed, or deleted; get_eboot_board was removed with its callers migrated, and the removal was explained in a prior round.
Proposed changes
Smallest sequence that keeps every path working, in order:
- Finding 1, one line plus a hoist:
# sdk_generator.py:390 — exact target, not the family board dir
linker_key = target if target in TARGET_ARCH else Nonethen move the [warn] print out of if eboot_board is None: so it fires whenever no .ld was written for an mcu-class target, naming the part:
if info["class"] == "mcu" and linker_key is None:
print(" [warn] no per-chip linker script for " + target +
": eBoot ships no memory map for this exact part. "
"Run `ebuild sdk --list` for supported targets.")- Finding 1 regression guard — the existing
test_detected_unmapped_mcu_skips_foreign_linker_script(tests/unit/test_sdk_from_profile.py:150) passes only because it usesstm32f103, a Cortex-M3 part with no prefix match inMCU_TO_EBOOT_BOARD. It cannot catch this class of bug. Add a sibling case that does match:
def test_family_sibling_does_not_inherit_flagship_memory_map():
"""stm32f401 prefix-matches the stm32f4 board but has 256K/64K, not 1024K/128K."""
profile = _profile(mcu="stm32f401", arch="arm", core="cortex-m4")
with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as out:
sdk = generate_sdk_from_profile(profile, out, target="stm32f401")
assert not os.path.exists(os.path.join(sdk, "eboot", "eboot_stm32f401.ld"))- Finding 2 — fail closed on a toolchain miss as well; add the Xtensa test.
- Architecture — make the eAI dependency lazy and downward-pointing. Either import inside
_resolve_eboot_board_dir:
if profile is not None:
from ebuild.eos_ai.eos_project_generator import EosProjectGenerator
for prefix, board in EosProjectGenerator.MCU_TO_EBOOT_BOARD.items():or, better and preferred under §5.1: move MCU_TO_EBOOT_BOARD down into ebuild/sdk_generator.py (or a shared Tier-1 table module) and have EosProjectGenerator import it from there, so the Tier-3 consumer depends on the Tier-1 table rather than the reverse. The PR's own docstring already frames this as collapsing two divergent tables "into one source of truth" — putting that source of truth in the lower layer is what makes the direction legal.
- Finding 3 — delete
_eboot_board_for_info.

fix: derive SDK toolchain from detected profile
What
ebuild pipeline --board nrf52840detects the chip (ARM Cortex-M4, Nordic) but then emits an x86_64 toolchain, so the firmware targets a desktop PC and never compiles for the chip. The SDK step now uses the detected profile, so the toolchain matches the hardware.Why
Step 4 of
_run_pipeline_stepscalledgenerate_sdk(board.lower(), ...), passing the board name string, not the profile.nrf52840is not aTARGET_ARCHkey, so it fell back to x86_64. The analyzer had already answered the question; the build step discarded it.How
Added
generate_sdk_from_profile(profile, output_dir, target=None):TARGET_ARCHkey, use that canonical mapping exactly as the legacygenerate_sdkwould. Every supported board is byte-identical to the pre-fix behavior.arch=aarch64/arm64) wins over a Cortex-A core string, while 32-bit Cortex-A / ARM11 parts keeparm-linux-gnueabihf+class: sbc; AArch64 / RISC-V map to their shipped triplets.riscv32and other architectures with no shipped toolchain returnNoneand keep the honest x86_64 fallback._resolve_eboot_board_dir) does an exact target-name match inEBOOT_BOARD, then an MCU-prefix match against the analyzer'sMCU_TO_EBOOT_BOARD(so the flagshipnrf52840->nrf52, which the old target-name-only lookup missed). On a miss the writer appends aFATAL_ERRORtoeboot_board.cmakeso a consumer fails closed instead of expanding an emptyEBOOT_BOARD_DIR.Note (behaviour change, stated honestly): for a target outside
TARGET_ARCHreached viaebuild sdk --target <name>(e.g.nrf52840), the legacygenerate_sdkwroteEBOOT_BOARD x86, whereas this path now writes no eboot board at all (fail-loud). KnownTARGET_ARCHtargets are byte-identical to legacy, including their eboot board.F1 deferral (per architecture review): making the legacy
ebuild sdk --target <name>path also resolve via the profile is a separate behaviour change — it touches every unmapped target and retirestest_sdk_from_name_falls_back_to_x86_64— so it is scoped to its own follow-up PR, not this one.Test plan (commands + results, executed)
The 16 tests cover: legacy name fallback (
test_sdk_from_name_falls_back_to_x86_64), nrf52840 profile (test_sdk_from_profile_nrf52840), the pipeline regression guard (test_pipeline_sdk_matches_detected_profile), raspi4 aarch64 preservation (test_pipeline_sdk_raspi4_stays_aarch64), unmapped MCU skipping a foreign linker script (test_detected_unmapped_mcu_skips_foreign_linker_script), unmapped MCU emitting no x86 eboot board (test_unmapped_mcu_emits_no_x86_eboot_board), unknown-MCU fallback (test_sdk_from_profile_unknown_mcu_uses_fallback), known-target byte-identical matrix (test_known_targets_do_not_regress_through_pipeline), 64-bit ARM ordering (test_profile_aarch64_core_cortex_a72_is_64bit_toolchain), riscv64 class (test_profile_riscv64_is_sbc_class), riscv32 honest fallback (test_profile_riscv32_uses_honest_fallback), eboot-key shape (test_eboot_key_is_target_name_or_none), nrf52840->nrf52 board via MCU prefix (test_pipeline_nrf52840_gets_eboot_nrf52), stm32f103 fail-closed (test_stm32f103_still_no_eboot_and_fails_closed), RISC-V alternate-spelling guard (test_riscv_alt_spelling_falls_back), and vendor threading (test_vendor_threaded_from_profile).Full unit suite (this branch):
359 passed, 2 skipped(3 unrelated env failures:test_footprintneeds an externalsizetool;test_version_fallbackbelongs to a separate branch and is not in this PR).14-target pipeline matrix (ran it): every
TARGET_ARCHtarget produces a byte-identicalCMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR+EBOOT_BOARDthrough the pipeline vs legacygenerate_sdk— 0 regressions, including the six targets the analyzer gives nomcufor (raspi3, raspi4, vexpress, riscv_virt, malta, qemu_virt).rp2040(board ->samd51) gets no per-chip linker script in both legacy and this head, sincesamd51is not aTARGET_ARCHkey — unchanged, not a regression.Out of scope
The image step and budget checks are separate issues. The SDK's
toolchain.cmakeis written forenvironment-setupconsumers;_run_cmake_buildstill passesEOS_BOARD/EOS_ARCH/EOS_CORE, notCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE, so the pipeline's own build step does not yet consume it — noted so this is not mistaken for closing the cross-compilation gap. Bare-metalCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAMEconfiguration (socmakeaccepts the generated toolchain) is a pre-existing gap in its own PR. F1 (profile resolution in the legacyebuild sdk --targetpath) is deferred to its own PR per the architecture review.Risks
Medium, scoped to SDK generation. Detected ARM/AArch64/RISC-V chips now get the right toolchain; a detected MCU whose eboot board ebuild does not ship fails closed (FATAL_ERROR) instead of a wrong memory map; known targets unchanged. No public API changed. No CI run has executed on this head — every figure above is from the author's machine.
