Good to see this resonating in some form :)
I also like the idea of having it distributed.
I don't believe there has to be a lot of communication with the
build-bot, so buildbot and testbot can be two seperate animals. testbot
should probably have an interface accessible by buildbot to add jobs
to a queue.
To me, a good point to start would be using DeviceKit via DBus to have
persistent identifiers for all the USB-devices. Then create classes
DeviceConnection which got a OpenWrtDevice, PowerPort, one or more
EthernetPort and SerialPort.
OpenWrtDevice should have lots of attributes describing the box and be
associated with BootLoader, so test-bot will know how to re-flash the
thing. Anyway, why use words if code can express it much better...
I'd suggest Ruby, as it is very quick for prototyping and scaffolding
things. If there is no serious reason against that, I'll start tomorrow on

I will make some time to make the buildbot work with it.

Good idea. @work we have enough space/power to make
this. So i will setup:
1 x Computer
4 x Router
(Linksys WRT54GL, TP-Link 1043ND, DIR-300, RouterStation Pro)
4 x Serial soldered to routers
1 x Internet
1 x Ethernet-Power-Socket (4x)
If we are ready, i will give out SSH access to someone
who has time to script some scripts - ok?
bye, Bastian
