This tool aims to test U-Boot by executing U-Boot shell commands using the console interface. A single top-level script exists to execute or attach to the U-Boot console, run the entire script of tests against it, and summarize the results. Advantages of this approach are:
- Testing is performed in the same way a user or script would interact with U-Boot; there can be no disconnect.
- There is no need to write or embed test-related code into U-Boot
itself. It is asserted that writing test-related code in Python is simpler and more flexible that writing it all in C.
- It is reasonably simple to interact with U-Boot in this way.
A few simple tests are provided as examples. Soon, we should convert as many as possible of the other tests in test/* and test/cmd_ut.c too.
In the future, I hope to publish (out-of-tree) the hook scripts, relay control utilities, and udev rules I will use for my own HW setup.
I finally got permission to publish these. Examples are at: https://github.com/swarren/uboot-test-hooks
Interesting. What's the normal setup which you have for the board? I see from your description that you use numato usb relay - I expect one with more channels for reset. Then you are able to control boot mode. Is it also via the same relay? How do you power up the board?
