Azure IoT Edge – exec user process caused “exec format error”

Edge 1 Minute

If running Edge on a Raspberry Pi  and an Edge container’s logs show  ‘exec user process caused “exec format error”‘ as an error then most likely you are running a non Raspberry Pi container on the Raspberry Pi. If the docker file used to build the container starts with:

  • FROM microsoft/dotnet:2.0.0-runtime

or

  • FROM microsoft/dotnet:2.0.0-runtime-nanoserver-1709

then the line above should be changed to one of the following:

  • FROM microsoft/dotnet:2.0.5-runtime-stretch-arm32v7
  • FROM microsoft/dotnet:2.0-runtime-stretch-arm32v7
  • FROM microsoft/dotnet:2.0.5-runtime-deps-stretch-arm32v7
  • FROM microsoft/dotnet:2.0-runtime-deps-stretch-arm32v7

As a Microsoft MVP for Azure, I focus on IoT, Mobile, and Cloud; trying to find the subsection of those and make them work together. Lately, I have working with AI and Edge computing as the they evolve together. I enjoy public speaking, walks on the beach, and no linker errors.

  1. Hello, what can we do if we have an Exec Format error on a python module’s logs on a raspberry pi? My c# module works, but not the python one. Thanks
