Hi everybody, Firstly, I want to introduce myself. I'm Jan Dabros and I'm working for Semihalf - embedded system company based in Poland. I am a big fan of coreboot and the idea of open firmware in general, that's why would really like to contribute to this project. Let's see how it goes :)
My proposal is to start unit testing coreboot codebase to some possible extent, in order to improve its reliability, prepare subsystem for enabling quick tests and to make test-driven-development possible. Hopefully this makes sense to (at least some) of you. For this purpose, it's necessary to select some C unit test framework - unless we want to create something completely new. I have done evaluation of couple of such libraries and described its results in the document [1] along with my selected candidate and implementation proposal. This may be a good starting point for a discussion about what framework do you think fit the most and how unit testing may be applied to coreboot codebase. Together with above doc, I also created a simple example of unit test and sent it for review [2]. Commit message comprises steps for running it. Any comments and remarks are very appreciated, both to the doc and the code. Thanks in advance!
