Re : Re: Re : [opensuse-arm] openQA generalhw backend
Yes, the SUT-companion and openQA worker may be on the same host, or can be separated, it is up to you! You can cheat by having u-boot on uSD and boot the image to test from USB. Otherwise, you can try the usb-sd-mux hardware to flash the uSD card directly. Cheers, Guillaume - Matwey V.

Re: Re : [opensuse-arm] openQA generalhw backend
Thanks, Guillaume! Do I understand correctly, that SUT-companion and OpenQA worker may be on the same host? I would like to test BeagleBone Black. In an ideal world, I would like it to be tested on openqa.opensuse.org. Now I see that I have to learn how to boot the board from USB. The AM335x reference documentation says that it is possible to load U-Boot firmware via UART and USB, but I have never tried it. вс, 23 авг. 2020 г. в 10:25, Guillaume GARDET : > > Hi Matwey, > > Here are some details about the RPi3 case: > > https://github.com/ggardet/blog/blob/master/HowTo-Add_tests_on_real_hardware_with_openQA-RPi3_case.md > > It uses an external board with USB OTG to boot the RPi from USB (Firmware > is still on uSD due to: > https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/1322). > You could also use some USB SD mux such as: > https://shop.linux-automation.com/usb_sd_mux-D02-R01-V02-C00-en > But it does not work well with RPi4 atm, whereas it works perfectly fine > with the HiKey960. > > Also, if you want to make it available to openqa.o.o: > > https://github.com/ggardet/blog/blob/master/HowTo-Install_a_remote_openQA_worker.md > > May I ask for which board you would like to test? > > Cheers, > Guillaume > > > > - Matwey V.

Re : [opensuse-arm] openQA generalhw backend
Hi Matwey, Here are some details about the RPi3 case: https://github.com/ggardet/blog/blob/master/HowTo-Add_tests_on_real_hardware_with_openQA-RPi3_case.md It uses an external board with USB OTG to boot the RPi from USB (Firmware is still on uSD due to: https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/1322). You could also use some USB SD mux such as: https://shop.linux-automation.com/usb_sd_mux-D02-R01-V02-C00-en But it does not work well with RPi4 atm, whereas it works perfectly fine with the HiKey960. Also, if you want to make it available to openqa.o.o: https://github.com/ggardet/blog/blob/master/HowTo-Install_a_remote_openQA_worker.md May I ask for which board you would like to test?

[opensuse-arm] openQA generalhw backend
Hello, I am looking through openQA sources and I am very excited about generalhw backend. I see that it is currently in use at openqa.opensuse.org to test Raspberry Pi images. Unfortunately, there is a little details in the sources, I only see that the backend calls some preconfigured external commands to manipulate hardware, but I've failed to find more implementation details. Is there a kind of presentation or documentation on how all this works? I am especially interested in how the flash card image is deployed? -- With best regards, Matwey V. Kornilov
