LAVA Core

by Zygmunt Krynicki

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi I'd like to announce a new project in the LAVA family. (README file follows) http://xkcd.com/927/ Seriously, lava has way to many tiny pieces. It all started when we renamed launch-control to lava-dashboard and created lava-server in the process. Now it's getting in the way. So here we are, lava-core is the start of the merge. Subsequent projects will slowly merge into the core. Then one day we may just get a package that is called 'lava', that ships a program called 'lava' that does useful stuff. (End of readme file) The project has been registered on Launchpad already. I plan on proposing merge requests that move parts of the non-client pieces there. Existing projects shall remain as backwards compatible code imports from lava-core.

test data location

by Andy Doan

I noticed today while looking at a merge proposal that we store some test data files for LAVA on the wiki[1]. I'm sure that was chosen because it works and its easy to manage. However, I'm not a huge fan of this for a few reasons: * easy to delete an attachment * Moin provides no revision control over attachments * I took this job to get out of the wiki business :) I was thinking of two alternate ways to manage our data files: 1. Create something on people.linaro.org like the toolchain team did[2]. 2. Create something like validation.linaro.org/testdata Seems like option 1 is the easiest and has been done before. Any opinions? 1: https://wiki.linaro.org/TestDataLinkPage 2: http://people.linaro.org/~toolchain/

identifying USB devices

by Michael Hudson-Doyle

Part of the whole SD card mux game involves finding the card reader the SD card for a particular board is plugged into. Following a lead provided by Zygmunt, it seems that you can address devices by USB topology by looking in /sys/bus/usb/devices/ -- for example, the front right USB port on my laptop seems to correspond to a directories called "1-1.2" and "1-1.2:1.0" in here, the back left port corresponds to "3-1" and "3-1:1.0" and a particular port on a USB hub plugged into the front left USB port seems to correspond to "2-1.2.3" and "2-1.2.3:1.0". So this seems to be reasonably straightforward (although I don't know if the mapping is necessarily stable across reboots or kernel upgrades -- seems like it should be though). The next fun is mapping this directory to a block device. Poking finds that (with the card reader plugged into the last location mentioned above) the directory at: /sys/bus/usb/devices/2-1.2.3:1.0/host31/target31:0:0/31:0:0:0/block/ contains a directory called 'sdb' and indeed the sd card is mounted as /dev/sdb. Playing around shows that the 31 here is a number that gets incremented each time you plug/unplug the reader (or maybe any USB device). So this suggests that we could address the card reader in this port as "2-1.2.3:1.0" and to e.g. run l-m-c targetting the card in the reader, we should look at /dev/$(ls /sys/bus/usb/devices/${address}/host*/target*/*:0:0:0/block) which seems like it would work but frankly also seems like a total hack. Do any of you know if this can be done in a cleaner way? Cheers, mwh

RFC Patch: lava with no media files

by Andy Doan

I was trying to get my local LAVA instance to work with our lab's data base dump. So I had the DB, but not all the media files. LAVA almost works when you do this, but I hit two small issues that prevented me from looking at bundle streams and it their test runs. I realize this is an edge case, but its handy for when you want to test with a real database, but don't want all the media files. I'm not sure this is the exact way we want to fix this, so rather than do a merge proposal I thought I'd get your thoughts on the patch first. There were two main issues in the code: bundle_detail wants to get the "document format" for the media file associated with the bundle. Since the file didn't exist we hit an exception. I added a small check to the get_document_format to handle this by returning "n/a". bundle_detail and test_run_detail wanted to display the size of media files. This calls a new function content_size which will catch an error if the file doesn't exist and simply return 0. I'm not sure if this patch is doing to good a job of hiding the fact an error does exist. Maybe we should put a conditional in the template file to display an error when the file doesn't exist also? -andy

master boot image and uboot commands

by Andy Doan

I've been setting up a local LAVA lab on my home network. I've used the lava-deployment-tool and lava-master-image-scripts to get my Beagle hooked up. I'm really close to having everything work. However, when I submit a job I hit a problem with the soft-reboot logic not being able to instruct u-boot to use the test image. I'm flashing a 12.01 pre-built nano image, but I don't think that matters. I think the real issue might be something with a newer uboot being used by the linaro-master-image-script and the device.conf for beagle not having the right stuff. Has anyone else run into this or have suggestions? I tried briefly updating the .conf file for beagle, but it didn't seem to stick. It almost looked like we were sending the commands before u-boot was ready, but that may just be how the output is displayed. -andy

FYI: new disable suspend mechanism

by Andy Doan

The Android team has a new app that can disable suspend on a device: http://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/linaro-android/2012-April/000723.html It can be enabled with commands like: am start -W -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n \ com.android.disablesuspend/.DisableSuspendActivity input keyevent 61 #key code for <TAB> input keyevent 66 #key code for <Enter> Looking at the changes we made to support this[1], I wonder if this new method is safer. On the one hand this requires a change, and the change requires us to start an application. This seems slower. On the other hand, we are currently making sqlite3 calls and such that seem a bit dangerous. Thoughts? 1: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~linaro-validation/lava-dispatcher/trunk/revisi…

tjbench result

by YongQin Liu

Hi, Andy In the attached tjbench.tgz file, there are two files: tjbench_job.json tjbench_result.json tjbench_job.json is the job file I used, I defined 7 tjbench actions in that file. and tjbench_result.json is the result of the job, I use lava-dashboard-tool to get it from my local lava environment. you can use put to upload it to your lava serve to see the result. Thanks, Yongqin Liu

Fwd: How to integrate Connectivity Manager Test to LAVA?

by YongQin Liu

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Botao Sun <botao.sun(a)linaro.org> Date: 5 April 2012 20:31 Subject: Re: How to integrate Connectivity Manager Test to LAVA? To: YongQin Liu <yongqin.liu(a)linaro.org> Cc: Paul Larson <paul.larson(a)linaro.org>, Abhishek Paliwal < abhishek.paliwal(a)linaro.org>, linaro-android <linaro-android(a)linaro.org> Hi Yongqin, Yes, if the support for android command on android-build can be done, that will be cool. However, I'm afraid the Android team wants this test can be integrated as soon as possible, and I won't work on this since I'm not in Android team anymore. Basically I will provide some solutions or figure out a way to do something, but won't do it by myself except in some special conditions. Therefore, if LAVA team can do this, I will be very appreciated. I agree with you about re-pack an apk is not a good idea. This is just a temporary walk around way to do it, once we have an unique SSID for this test, the source code of this test apk will be modified, then the repacking work will be gone. This test is new to us, and nobody has deep knowledge about the source code inside. So there may be more changes in future according to our research. Thank you for your help!
