Hi, list: Just want to let you know, especially for the validation team members, I am trying to do Android support on lava, so I created a branch, lp:~jeremychang/lava/android-support Hi, Paul, maybe you can help me give it a review. Thanks!
Paul is travelling .... I assume he will be able to review this on friday.
. I am on my personal environment, so I changed some configs to fit my environment for testing. Also I documented them here in https://wiki.linaro.org/JeremyChang/Sandbox/LavaAndroidValidation
Basically I would like to a make a prototype based on the existing Lava to do the testing/Validation for Android from the deployment to submit_result. Now I already made it do the continual process of starting from the deployment, reboot to Android, do basic test and simple monkey test.
Now what I thinking is, also the trickiest item seems that how to present the test results of various Android validations to dashboard [1]. Due to platform difference, abrek, python code could not run on Android target, there is a need to generate the json bundle in lava for sending to the dashboard. I think for android validation, benchmark/testing, abrek could not be used.
For now - to get past this point - you could just implement an action/command that is "monkey_results_to_json".
We can do the same for 0xbench output i guess to get going and then we can review what kind of framewor support we want for this.
I still need to figure out more about the powerfulness the dashboard, like when the attachment function should be used for uploading the result?
my understanding is that "attachment" should be used to "attach additional information" ... the main results should be in the "main" json part. basically "result" (boolean) and/or "measurement" (float) from what i recall.
Regarding to generating the bundle, I will check what's the way to generate the reasonable software_context and hardware_context for android.
right. I think in first step this can be ignored. We can add this later.
Hopefully soon android images can be tested by lava with the dailybuild android image tarballs [2].
that would be amazing to see! rock on!!
