- come straight to point: how to clone (don't talk about git config)
- refer to contributing documentation where necessary instead of
repeating information
- CellGroupConfig is handled through DU (hence MAC)
- mention number of DUs/CU-UPs handled per CU-CP
- mention number of UEs handled
- take out BWPs, as we don't support it properly
- typos
Update instructions and CI for cross-compilation on Ubuntu 22.
Note that for the dockerfile, we use egrep -L which has changed and does
not exit with code 0 on no match. Instead, use -vqz to invert return
code (0 if nothing found, otherwise 1).
This updates all images in the CI to Ubuntu 22. It also updates
corresponding documentation. Remove python(2) from the image, as it is
not needed. Update documentation.
It seems that the gcc coming in Ubuntu 22 does not like
stack-protector-strong, so remove it as well.
Since we compile Flexric, which does not support Ubuntu 22's default
gcc-11 (it hits a compile bug), switch to gcc-12 manually.
Since we update the compiler, we also need to be careful to use the right
address sanitizer version (which is bundled with the compiler version).
To avoid a reinstallation of the wrong asan version in target images, we
modify Ubuntu 22 targets to copy libasan from the base image. This is necessary
since we use update-alternative in the base image, but we don't want to
install compilers in the target images to use update-alternatives to
install the right asan version... This should be undone when switching
to Ubuntu 24 in the future, as it will have a newer default gcc version,
such that we don't need to update the compile in the first place.
Upgrade libpython in lteUE for U22 upgrade to make it compatible with
UHD.
In a previous commit, the functionality of handling IPv6 (and DNS names)
as part of the IPv4 was introduced (in IPv4 field for backwards
compatibility). This commit now removes superfluous configuration
fields:
- IPv6: handled by IPv4 field
- active: users can just remove an entry
- preference: not needed
- Update the configuration for benetel 650 and 550 for new firmware version
- Remove the old firmware configuration file and description in the document
- Add a new RU configuration section
- Add How to get support from the OAI Community to clarify the support procedure.
After the last commit, it is not possible to bind on separate interfaces
for F1-C and F1-U. In other words, it is for instance not possible to
have the F1-C on one subnet on one physical interface, and F1-U on
another subnet on another physical interface. This commit introduces a
second option MACRLCs.[0].local_n_address_f1u to allow to bind F1-U on
an alternative address; if it is not specified, the interface of F1-C is
reused.
The above only works for the DU; no corresponding option exists for the
CU. For the CU, use separate CU-CP and CU-UP.
Use it in the CI.
