It depends on what you want. You may use the autotest-client if all that you want is to run the tests. autotest-xxx can be used if you want a full blown central test server, web interface, scheduler and other things. > autotest-client does everyting (i.e download -> build -> run -> log > result) on target itself since we do not have a ARM toolchain that > execute on ARM target itself, we are modifying the control files so > that we can build test jobs in X86 host using ARM toolchain and copy > them to ARM target only to run and log result. To do the cross compiling indeed you'll need the autotest-xxx package. However, as I never had to do such a thing, I didn't use the feature, but I am fairly certain that Eric Li and the other folks @Chrome OS are using it. > I guess autotest-xxx does this automatically i.e download + build on > host.......and run + log result on target.

To use the full blown server + web interface it is better to use an x86 box, since we depend on things such as the google web toolkit to compile the web interface, also there's the database server, etc etc. I think that in most cases you don't want to run that stuff on top of an ARM box anyway :) > With Regards > Ajeet Yadav > > > On Wed, Aug 25, 2010 at 6:54 PM, Lucas Meneghel Rodrigues > <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Wed, 2010-08-25 at 16:24 +0530, Ajeet Yadav wrote: > > Hi, > > I wish to run autotest on ARM target should I use > > autotest-client-0.12.0 or autotest-0.12.0 ( i.e standalone > or > > client-server model) > > I am looking for the way where I can cross build most > autotest > > autotest dependecies like python, test tools on x86 host and > than run > > them on ARM client. > > > I believe the Chrome OS folks have been working on this.
