We have a need for a Panda and a Beagle to compare & fix performance. As I recall from last meeting, the Panda's USB I/O has 2x performance degradation from Beagle. Per or Mian may have more details on that.
Ok; interesting!
My initial fear was that the kernel testing might trigger unbootable boards and that it would be tricky to work with unstable kernels remotely; for USB performance testing, I can see that we could set it up for remote testing, but we need to have something plugged to USB and be careful to use the same hardware on both boards so that it compares usefully.
If we never upgrade the bootloader, and make sure that the known-good bootscripts/images are never modified/removed, then we should generally be able to avoid bricking.
On vexpress for example, we have a known-good U-Boot in flash which can be used to recover the board if needed.
Where random hardware has to be plugged in, that could be a bit harder to arrange...
