Hi Bryan,
I have written a very small writeup of the things which
was required to do the libjpeg-turbo benchmark integration with LAVA. I
have also updated the writeup in wiki
https://wiki.linaro.org/Internal/People/RonyNandy/LAVAforMultimedia .
Feel free to update and modify with new findings and editings.We can
move the wiki from People once it is in a better shape.
Steps to write a test definition for a Multimedia Component for LAVA
1) A test definition in python script needs to be written for the
tests/benchmarks you want to run on LAVA.
A simple example of a test definition is this which was written for
libjepeg-turbo.
This example is for android.

<http://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Eliuyq0307/lava-android-test/tjbench/view/hea…>
I suggest you start with a simpler one to be run on Ubuntu.You don't
need a target board to develop the scrip.Developing
the script to run x86 code on host is fine for script development.The
assumption here is that the x86 binary works
the same as the android/ubuntu arm port.
2)The test definition can be written on lines of the the above example
and validated on the host system
using command example $lava-test example.py
Please run the following commands on oneiric host to install
the LAVA based utilities
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linaro-validation/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lava-dashboard
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linaro-validation/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lava-dispatcher
sudo apt-get install bzr python-distutils-extra python-testtools
python-parted command-not-found python-yaml python-beautifulsoup
python-wxgtk2.6
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linaro-validation/ppa
sudo apt-get install lava-test
3)The debugging of the script needs to be done using lava-test and make
sure that the script does not throw any errors.
The lava-test commands are:
lava-test uninstall example
lava-test install example
lava-test run example
lava-test parse example
4)The python script needs to be sent(or pull request) to the Linaro
validation team to be merged on the LAVA Server so that it gets
displayed on the dashboard.
5) We are yet to run our own LAVA server locally to do final merge
locally,but it is on the cards for Jan 12.
Regards
Rony
