Description

It has suffered some kind of failure that renders all builds failures.

It can be replaced by a QEMU-based ARM builder on CircleCI or elsewhere or a native ARM builder on some cloud provider (packet, AWS, etc).

I've removed the builder on this slave. Only Brian can actually decommission the actual system, of course.

It's possible the system can be fixed by re-imaging it. However, I suggest that rather than doing this, we set up a cloud ARM slave instead. The smallest AWS ARM instance type can be had for under $4/month. These instances offer more RAM (2GB vs 1GB) and faster CPU (Cortex-A72 (high performance) vs Cortex-A53 (low power)).

  • Owner set to warner

Optimistically assigning this to Brian so he's aware of the change (deployed) and can do something with the hardware and/or comment on the above suggestion, if he wants.

Got it, I'll unplug the poor thing. It's served us well.
