Neil,
Can LXC and LAVA support any flasher , even proprietary flasher ?

I have created some Lava jobs that use our proprietary Flasher, based on a DFU connection. As our flasher is not a "standard" flasher, I have adapted the boot process to be able to use our flasher.
Sounds like you need to use LXC instead. Put the flashing tool inside the LXC.
I use the boot method "minimal" to achieve this.
To call our flasher script, I have used the script called by the method "power_on". This is defined in the device configuration.
Find below an extract of the device content : ....................................................................................... .. .. {% set hard_reset_command = '/usr/bin/pduclient --daemon localhost --hostname lava_pdu_01.lme.st.comhttp://lava_pdu_01.lme.st.com --command reboot --port 1' %} {% set power_off_command = '/usr/bin/pduclient --daemon localhost --hostname lava_pdu_01.lme.st.comhttp://lava_pdu_01.lme.st.com --command off --port 1' %} {% set power_on_command = '/root/git/lava-config/scripts/flash_stm32_programmer.sh -u lava_pdu_01.lme.st.comhttp://lava_pdu_01.lme.st.com -p 1 -d usb1 -b ds378_2.lme.st.comhttp://ds378_2.lme.st.com -s 4_5_6 -f /tmp/test' %} {% set connection_command = 'telnet localhost 2001' %} .. .. .......................................................................................
This works correctly for a "static" configuration. The settings for the flasher are defined outside Lava by a script that configure the flashing parameters. The "power_on" script reads these parameters, and launch the flashing on the board.
My problem now, is when I launch simultaneously jobs on several boards that requires different flashing binaries version. I am unable to indicate to each boards which binary version to be used by our flasher.
So each needs to set up their own in a container.
The best way would be to pass parameters in the job to indicate which binary version has to be used by the flasher.
No, that is a very bad way.
This could be done in the "deploy action" and pass to the "power_on" command, but I don't know how to implement it.
I don't know also if it is possible to do that easily ?
Find below my job definition.

Thanks to support me.
