Includes crash-cart.deb (Linux-X64 Crash Cart Software_1240415.deb) so the Docker image can be built without needing to source the file separately. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
usb-crash-cart
Docker container wrapper for the NOTECONS02 USB Crash Cart Adapter software.
The vendor software (usb-crash-cart-adapter v20240517) was built against Ubuntu 16.04
(Python 2.7, wxWidgets 2.9/GTK2) and is incompatible with modern Fedora. This repo runs
it inside an Ubuntu 16.04 container with X11 passthrough.
Setup
1. Install udev rules (once, on the host)
sudo ./install-udev-rules.sh
This allows the crash cart adapter (USB vendor 152a, products 8460/8463) to be
accessed without root.
2. Place the .deb package
Copy the vendor .deb to packages/crash-cart.deb:
cp /path/to/"Linux-X64 Crash Cart Software_1240415.deb" packages/crash-cart.deb
3. Build the image
docker build -t usb-crash-cart .
4. Run
./docker-run.sh
This handles X11 socket sharing and USB device passthrough automatically.
Notes
- The container uses
ubuntu:16.04to match the build environment. - The app bundles its own
libpython2.7,libwx_gtk2u-2.9,libpng12, etc. — the container only needs GTK2 and X11 system libs from the OS. LD_LIBRARY_PATHis set to prefer the bundled libs over system ones.- The
.debis excluded from git (.gitignore) — obtain it from the vendor package.
