Hi. For a start we would like to test some basic kernel functionalities, such as timers, memory, etc. Our final goal is to become capable of testing kernel for any embedded system. At this moment our focus is on TV and mobile telephone platforms. After we successfully run LTP with these "basic" test cases and suites it would be much easier to implement other tests which are characteristic for each platform. That is why we are trying to collect as much experiences as we can from people who already use LTP.
Thank you for your help so far and I hope we will continue with our cooperation.

But, we lost the track somewhere and things did not move forward. So, here is something i thought might help us to move forward in this regard. I would be willing to strip down the un-necessary tests and release separate packages specifically meant for the embedded/other linux systems. If this is ok with you guys, then you need to tell me the choice of tests that needs to be packed. I would like to do this with the hope that it will increase the base of LTP-usage, and we will get back more contribution from new guys in terms of patches.
