Dear Sir, I am Malaya from India, currently i am doing PhD. In my PhD work i have design a medical instrument which is run on Android lollypop(5.1.) and nougat (7.1). But i want to test this device for that i am trying to set-up the LAVA environment. I have followed the below link. https://wiki.linaro.org/QA/AutomatedTestingFramework

Please suggest me how to setup LAVA for my custom build android.

The link you followed is years out of date.

Current home for LAVA is: https://lavasoftware.org/

Subscribe to the mailing list at https://lists.lavasoftware.org/mailman/listinfo/lava-users

Read the LAVA Manual here: https://master.lavasoftware.org/static/docs/v2/

Follow the installation instructions here: https://master.lavasoftware.org/static/docs/v2/first-installation.html and here: https://master.lavasoftware.org/static/docs/v2/installing_on_debian.html

The mailing lists for lavasoftware have recently move off lists.linaro.org, so this is the wrong mailing list to use - see the LAVA support page for updated information:

https://master.lavasoftware.org/static/docs/v2/support.html

Take heed of this warning: https://master.lavasoftware.org/static/docs/v2/device-integration.html#index...

Adding a new type of device to LAVA is the most complex thing you can expect to do with LAVA. Do NOT take shortcuts. Start with a fresh install, setup and execute QEMU test jobs until you understand how to administer a LAVA instance. In particular, note that a product which is suitable for consumers is usually not suitable for automated testing - you may need to make substantial hardware changes to the device to enable automation.
