Hi ARM guys!
I think current openQA AArch64 tests are done using qemu (at least
virtualization).
Correct, and even they keep failing :).
But, how far is ARM tests on real hardware? It seems os-autoinst
support real hardware and I remember that some people worked on it
during hackweeks.
Are you interested in embedded or server style hardware? For server
style hardware with proper BMC, I don't think there'd be much apart from
hardware availability keeping us from doing it. For embedded style
hardware, the biggest hurdle is that we need to test JeOS images rather
than the installation, because we need to provide firmware as well.
I would like to collect all information in order to maybe work on it a
bit. For example, which devices do you use to power on/off boards. Did
you use os-autoinst or some other tests tools?
One thing I've been working on is an SD card simulator using the BBB.
Unfortunately my EE skills are abysmal, so I get up to the point where
the SD host switches to 25Mhz mode and then the line collapses ;).
With a working SD card simulator, remote power / reset GPIO, an HDMI
frame grabber and USB OTG for keyboard/tablet simulation, we should be
able to create a generic OpenQA test bed for any embedded device out there.
