This directory contains a simple Linux binary that runs in Starnix.
Build the workbench_eng.x64 product with this example and its container:
fx set workbench_eng.x64 \ --with //src/starnix/examples/hello_starnix \ --with //src/starnix/containers/empty_container fx build
Run this product as usual. For example, by running fx serve in one terminal and ffx emu start --headless --console --net tap in another terminal.
To run the hello_starnix component, we first need to boot a container. We use empty_container.cm, which does not have a disk image. Instead, the empty container mounts its own package as its root file system. This container is useful for running self-contained binaries (e.g., that do not require libc):
ffx component resolve core/starnix_runner ffx component run core/starnix_runner/playground:starless fuchsia-pkg://fuchsia.com/starless#meta/empty_container.cm
You can confirm that this container is running using ffx component list. If everything has gone well, you should see core/starnix_runner/playground:starless running in the system.
Create the hello_starnix component inside this container:
ffx component create core/starnix_runner/playground:starless/daemons:hello_starnix fuchsia-pkg://fuchsia.com/hello_starnix#meta/hello_starnix.cm
You should see some output similar to the following in ffx log:
[00203.847301][kernels:empty_container.cm_3cT3bre][9:9[hello_starnix],stdio,starnix] INFO: hello starnix
