Is it possible to use docker container for the bare metal project, want to generate ARM compatible firmware?

I am using nrf52 chipset, I just want to know did anyone tried to run docker container to create ARM image? I am thinking to use Docker container as CI.

Not clear what you're asking here.

AFAIK, Docker is for stuff to run on large, OS-based systems - Windows, Linux, etc:

That's not going to be any use for code to run on a Cortex-M4 microcontroller with only a few hundred K  (yes - K) bytes of Flash, and RAM ...

Have you checked out https://jumper.io/? I've used it a bit, it's a really great tool and should be well suited for CI.

Hi,

What do you mean by "CI" in this context?

As Docker is an example of OS-level virtualization, for Linux, Windows and macOS, it would not be possible to make a Docker container containing an ARM image only. I guess you could have an emulator and an ARM image in the same container and run the ARM image in that emulator. Is that what you are planning to do?
