[Sound-open-firmware] help with unit tests

[Wilson, Danny]

Hello,

I am a new user from VeriSilicon, also trying to get unit tests to run.   Thanks for bringing this project to GitHub.

My environment is:   Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS

When trying the alternate method described by Pierre, I get the following permission denied error:

~/work/sof$ repo init -u https:://github.com/thesofproject/sof-manifests

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/us9005/work/sof/.repo/repo/main.py", line 40, in <module>

    sl = self._semlock = _multiprocessing.SemLock(kind, value, maxvalue)
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied

Is this a repository permission I am lacking?   Is there a particular build-script that includes the xtensa-xt* toolchain for unit tests?
