you can use builddeb (as part of the kernel source) or we have a wrapper in our tools: bzr branch lp:linaro-ci lci-build-tools bash lci-build-tools/jenkins_kernel_build_inst You'll have to set a few env var to match your expectation. Here's a real world example: export use_config_fragment=1 export MAKE_DTBS=true export toolchain_url="http://releases.linaro.org/13.09/components/toolchain/binaries/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.8-2013.09_linux.tar.xz"; export hwpack_type="vexpress" export kernel_flavour="vexpress" export conf_filenames="linaro/configs/linaro-base.conf linaro/configs/distribution.conf linaro/configs/kvm-guest.conf linaro/configs/big-LITTLE-IKS.conf linaro/configs/vexpress.conf" > Thanks > Basil Eljuse... > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Milo Casagrande [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: 29 October 2013 18:39 > To: Basil Eljuse > Cc: Tyler Baker; Fathi Boudra; [email protected]; Linaro Validation; > Dean Arnold > Subject: Re: [Linaro-validation] 64-bit model LAVA support - How To replace > hw-pack contents for testing? > > Hi, > > On Mon, Oct 28, 2013 at 7:38 AM, Basil Eljuse <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> We have got now demonstrated LAVA runs on AEMv8 , Cortex_Base_Model4x4 and >> Cortex_Base_Model1x1 following Linaro instructions. >> >> One of the key usecases we have is for the ability to swap out the kernel or >> the firmware binaries frlom previously released hardware pack, and test the >> release candidate binaries using LAVA setup. >> >> Q:: Can you advice how best to go about within LAVA setup to swap out the >> contents of the hardware pack for testing? > > If you have a DEB package with your kernel, you can use the command > line tool "linaro-hwpack-replace" to replace a package contained in a > hardware pack. > It is part of "linaro-image-tools": > > https://launchpad.net/linaro-image-tools > >> Is there an option where somehow I can specify via test definition, a >> location for the binaries which have to be replaced in the hw-pack ‘unpacked >> location’? > > You should be able to call "linaro-hwpack-replace" by adding > instructions in the YAML file, as long as it is installed and > available in the PATH. > Hope it might help. > > -- > Milo Casagrande | Automation Engineer > Linaro.org <www.linaro.org> │ Open source software for ARM SoCs > > > -- IMPORTANT NOTICE: The contents of this email and any attachments are > confidential and may also be privileged.
