No, I don't have podman installed. However, labgrid-pytest --lg-env test/arm/virt@multi_v8_defconfig.yaml --interactive works > > It will open a console which captures the barebox output from the start. > > The tool has options to capture to a log file > > This can be achieved with --lg-log when using pytest. With --lg-log a logfile is created, but it's empty. With output redirection to a file I get pytest output, but not the console.

How do we accomplish this? The YAML files contain many site specific details, like RemotePlace name, coordinator_address, which PowerDriver, wether to use a USB loader, SD-MUX or JTAG for bringup. There's not much left that is generic.
