Hi Stephen,
Finally, the example scripts support two boards; my home/laptop dev setup that uses a Numato relay board to control the
signals to the board I use there, and my work desktop dev setup that uses our "PM342" debug board to controll the signals. The latter works logically the same as the numato relay board, except it contains electronic switches driven by an FTDI chip.
I expect this is FTDI chip on the target right? It's actually a separate common debug board. Most/all of our development boards (and perhaps some production boards) have a standardized connector into which the common debug board plugs.
ok. I think my setup is not that far from what you are using and I expect that others SoCs will be very similar. Do you have any other testcases which you are running and you haven't sent?
Not at present.
As an FYI, I typically publish my local work-in-progress branch at: git://github.com/swarren/u-boot.git tegra_dev
I have looked at your patches and no problem to get it work on microblaze and zynq board. I do use kermit without any problem. I used cu on Microblaze.
Great!
btw: Is there any reason that you don't allow to clone your git repos?
- What I do miss is power off functionality because it is not practical
to keep board always on. On can be solved via reset script.
Yes, I would expect that the flash or reset script would turn the board on. It should be easy to add an extra hook script at the end which turns the board off. Or, whatever automation system you use to invoke test.py could simply do that right after running test.py.
- Then place tests to separate folder for better separation.
You mean e.g. test/py/tests/ ?
yes.
- Is there any way to handle timeouts or stucks? For example to
recognize if sleep 60 fails or just takes long. It means setting up timeouts will be good.
ubspawn.py:expect() does have a timeout capability, and uboot_console_base.py:ensure_spawned() sets this to 30s by default. There isn't currently any example of modifying or saving/restoring the timeout, or running commands that are expected to have a timeout, although either should be pretty easy to add. I expect the result would look something like this in a test:
with uboot_console.push_timeout(60000 + some_margin): uboot_console.run_command("sleep 60") # Perhaps the actual time taken should be validated here too
with uboot_console.timeout_is_expected(10000): # code that is expected to time out # Perhaps the following command would be integrated into the # timeout_is_expected() implementation, since I think it's the only # way you could recover from this situation? uboot_console.ctrlc()
... both modelled after the existing uboot_console.disable_check() code.
I think this should be the part of sleep testing.
I will have more comments when I spend more time with it but it looks pretty good for start.
Then I see incorrect timeout reporting with tftpboot

Regarding board-identity parameter. If not setup you are using "na" but I think CONFIG_IDENT_STRING can be used instead. Also I would like to have this parameter available in test because for ethernet testing will be good to have several folders with golden images for testing.
Also is there a way to run one particular test for easier developing. I know that I can simply remove all testing files but better option will be useful.
Thanks, Michal
