It is supported, just not with a single lava-test-shell action. lava-test-shell was designed to be black box (i.e. run from the target without intervention from the host), and you can't really reboot and pick it up after from any program running on the target. > bootchart is just a use-case. it needs to set up the OS, reboot to > collect data, finally test results are available. Maybe my solution with two test definitions is the right way to do it after all. Ideally we could also have a separate action to just install packages in the test image, but I think the overhead of using a separate lava-test-shell test definition is low enough. -- Antonio Terceiro Software Engineer - Linaro http://www.linaro.org
