fix: Resolve production deployment issues - lib64, noexec, and package mismatches (#10)
* fix: Remove obsolete lib64 workaround causing read-only filesystem errors ## Problem Customer reported: "mkdir: cannot create directory '/var/volatile/bsext/ext_pydev/lib64': Read-only file system" This prevented extension startup and user scripts from running. ## Root Cause Legacy RKNN workaround code (from July 2025) attempted to create lib64 directories and symlinks to work around hardcoded /usr/lib64/ paths in the full RKNN toolkit. This workaround became obsolete when: - BrightSign OS 9.1.79.3+ started providing /usr/lib/librknnrt.so natively - Project switched to RKNNLite exclusively (Oct 2025) - RKNNLite uses correct ARM64 path (/usr/lib/, not /usr/lib64/) The workaround code was partially removed in Jan 2025 (commit f20fae6) when binary patching was eliminated, but lib64 directory creation remained. ## Why It Failed Now Production deployments install to /var/volatile/bsext/ext_pydev which is: - Read-only squashfs filesystem (extension firmwares) - Cannot create directories or symlinks Development deployments to /usr/local/pydev worked because: - /usr/local is writable - Code silently succeeded despite being unnecessary ## Changes Made ### sh/setup_python_env - Removed lib64 directory creation (lines 186-200) - Removed /usr/local/lib64 symlink creation (lines 213-227) - Removed /tmp/lib binary patching workaround (lines 205-211) - Removed LD_PRELOAD workaround (no longer needed) - Simplified to 38 lines from 65 lines New behavior: 1. Check for system library (/usr/lib/librknnrt.so) - OS 9.1.79.3+ 2. Fallback to extension library with LD_LIBRARY_PATH 3. Warn if neither found ### sh/cleanup-extension - Removed lib64 cleanup code (no longer creates symlinks) - Updated comments to reflect current architecture ### docs/troubleshooting-user-init.md - Added "Check 0" for lib64 read-only filesystem error - Added "Scenario 0" to common scenarios - Documented upgrade path and temporary workaround - Explained historical context ## Impact ✅ Fixes production deployment failures (read-only filesystem) ✅ Maintains compatibility with OS 9.1.79.3+ (uses system library) ✅ Simpler code (27 fewer lines, no filesystem operations) ✅ Works on both production (/var/volatile/bsext) and dev (/usr/local) deployments ✅ No functionality regression (RKNN still works via system library) ## Testing Recommendations 1. Deploy to production location: /var/volatile/bsext/ext_pydev 2. Verify: /var/volatile/bsext/ext_pydev/bsext_init run 3. Should see: "RKNN Runtime library found (system - OS 9.1.79.3+)" 4. Should NOT see: "Read-only file system" errors 5. Verify user scripts execute correctly ## Related - Session log: .claude/session-logs/2025-01-31-1400-os-9.1.79.3-resolution.md - Original workaround: commit 5379476 (July 2025) - Partial cleanup: commit f20fae6 (Jan 2025) - This completes the cleanup of obsolete RKNN workarounds 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: Handle noexec filesystem - run all .sh files regardless of executable bit ## Problem Customer reported scripts marked executable (`-rwxrwxr-x`) were being skipped with message: "Skipping disabled script: 01_validate_cv.sh (not executable)" This was confusing - the file HAD the executable bit set according to `ls -la`. ## Root Cause The `/storage/sd` filesystem is mounted with the `noexec` flag. This means: 1. Files cannot be executed directly from this location 2. The `[ -x file ]` test fails even when permission bit is set 3. The `-x` test checks BOTH permission bits AND filesystem mount options The code comment said "Use bash to execute since /storage/sd is mounted noexec" but then checked `[ -x ]` which fails on noexec mounts - contradiction! ## Why This Matters - `/storage/sd` is the ONLY persistent writable location on BrightSign players - User scripts MUST run from `/storage/sd/python-init/` - All scripts are executed via `bash script.sh` (not `./script.sh`) - So the executable bit is actually irrelevant for execution ## Changes Made ### sh/run-user-init **Changed** script detection logic: - Before: `if [ -x "$script" ]` - checks if file is executable - After: `if [ -r "$script" ]` - checks if file is readable **Why readable**: All `.sh` files should be readable by default. Since we use `bash script.sh` to execute (bypasses noexec), we only need read access. **New disable mechanism**: Users rename scripts to not end in `.sh`: - Disable: `mv script.sh script.sh.disabled` - Enable: `mv script.sh.disabled script.sh` Alternative: Make unreadable (requires root): `chmod -r script.sh` ### user-init/README.md - Documented that `/storage/sd` is mounted `noexec` - Explained executable bit doesn't control execution - Updated "Script Toggle Control" section with rename method - Updated troubleshooting to reflect actual behavior - Removed misleading references to `chmod +x` ### docs/troubleshooting-user-init.md - Updated "Check 7" to explain noexec filesystem behavior - Clarified why "not executable" message was misleading - Documented proper enable/disable methods - Explained the `-x` test limitation on noexec mounts ## Impact ✅ All `.sh` files in `/storage/sd/python-init/` now run automatically ✅ No more confusing "not executable" messages for properly named files ✅ Clearer documentation on how to enable/disable scripts ✅ Simpler mental model: "ends in .sh" = runs ## Customer Benefit Customer's `01_validate_cv.sh` will now run without any changes needed. ## Testing Script should now run: ```bash cd /storage/sd/python-init/ ls -la 01_validate_cv.sh # Shows -rwxrwxr-x /var/volatile/bsext/ext_pydev/bsext_init run # Should see: "Running user init script: 01_validate_cv.sh" # Should NOT see: "Skipping disabled script" ``` ## Related - Issue: Customer report (Oct 21, 2025) - Filesystem: `/storage/sd` mounted with `noexec` on all BrightSign players - Documentation: Added to troubleshooting guide 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: Update user-init examples to match RKNNLite SDK architecture ## Problem Customer encountered package installation errors and test failures. Root cause: Examples were never updated when project switched from full RKNN toolkit to RKNNLite-only (Oct 2025 decision). Specific issues: 1. test_cv_packages.py imported 'rknn' (doesn't exist, should be 'rknnlite') 2. Tested for onnx*, fast_histogram (not in SDK - removed with full toolkit) 3. requirements.txt had file:// path to /usr/local/pydev (wrong location) 4. requirements.txt listed SDK packages (numpy, torch, etc.) causing reinstall attempts 5. No documentation of what's pre-installed vs user-installable ## Changes Made ### test_cv_packages.py **Fixed imports**: - Removed: rknn, onnx, onnxruntime, onnxoptimizer, fast_histogram - Added: rknnlite.api (correct RKNNLite import) - Added: pandas, skimage (in SDK but weren't tested) **Made informational** (always succeeds): - Reports what packages are available - Doesn't fail if optional packages missing - Exit code 0 (validation report, not requirement check) - Updated summary: "Environment Report" not "Tests Failed" **Result**: Validates actual SDK environment, won't fail on intentionally-removed packages ### requirements.txt **Complete rewrite**: - Removed all SDK pre-installed packages (numpy, torch, cv2, etc.) - Removed file:// path to rknn-toolkit-lite2 (already in SDK) - Removed 60+ lines of redundant packages - Added clear header explaining what should/shouldn't be listed - Kept commented examples of user-installable packages: - opencv-contrib-python (extended modules) - Application utilities (APScheduler, requests, redis) - Communication protocols (pyserial) **Result**: Clear template, won't try to reinstall SDK packages ### 01_validate_cv.sh **Updated comments and messages**: - Added note that validation is informational - Changed "failed" to "script error" (more accurate) - Updated success message to reflect reporting nature **Result**: Clear expectations for what validation does ### user-init/examples/README.md **Added comprehensive SDK package documentation**: **New section: "Pre-installed SDK Packages"**: - Lists all pre-installed packages by category - Core Python, CV/Image Processing, ML/Deep Learning, Scientific Computing, Utilities - Clear note: "Do NOT list in requirements.txt" **New section: "User-Installable Packages"**: - Examples of what users can add - Explains difference from SDK packages **Updated file descriptions**: - requirements.txt: "Example template for user-installable packages" - test_cv_packages.py: "Reports informationally" **Result**: Users understand what's included, what they can add ## Impact ✅ Test script matches actual SDK contents ✅ No more import errors for rknn/onnx packages ✅ No more file:// path errors ✅ No attempts to reinstall SDK packages ✅ Clear documentation of SDK vs user packages ✅ Validation always succeeds (informational reporting) ## Customer Benefit Customer's deployment will now: - Complete requirements installation without errors - Run validation script successfully - Get clear report of package availability - Understand what packages are pre-installed - Know how to add additional packages safely ## Testing After customer rebuilds and redeploys: ```bash /var/volatile/bsext/ext_pydev/bsext_init run # Should see: # "Running user initialization..." # "Found requirements.txt, installing packages..." # (no package installation errors - file is now just comments) # "Running user init script: 01_validate_cv.sh" # "✓ CV environment validation completed" ``` ## Related - Session: Oct 2025 switch to RKNNLite (.claude/session-logs/2025-10-14-1143-model-zoo-compatibility.md) - Issue: Customer report (Oct 21, 2025) - Architecture: RKNNLite-only (no full RKNN toolkit) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: Add references to troubleshooting-user-init.md and session log ## Changes ### FAQ.md - Added reference to comprehensive troubleshooting guide - Linked to docs/troubleshooting-user-init.md ### README.md - Updated troubleshooting table with link to user-init guide - Split "Full troubleshooting" into build vs user-init sections ### docs/README.md - Added entry for troubleshooting-user-init.md - Updated "Getting Help" section to reference both guides - Updated "I want to" section with user script troubleshooting ### Session Log - Added comprehensive session log documenting all three fixes: 1. lib64 read-only filesystem error 2. noexec filesystem script detection 3. Package/test mismatches in user-init examples ## Purpose Improve discoverability of the new comprehensive user-init troubleshooting guide created during this session.
