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 have only embedded style boards here, no BMC server. ;)
Indeed, the idea is to test JeOS images.
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 ;).
Can you send me details about what you did and what worked/failed, please?
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.
A remote power (or reset) should not be too difficult to buy or build. Have you
some working around?
A HDMI frame grabber could be replaced with a serial link as a first step,
maybe?
Some USB work has been done by someone (Bernhard Wiedemann?) during hackweek
(2015?), if I remember correctly.
