Dear Linaro Team,
does LAVA support ssh access for git to receive test definitions?
e.g.
definitions:
-repository:ssh://git.linaro.org/lava-team/hacking-session.git
from:git
path:hacking-session-debian.yaml
name:hacking
Dear Neil and Linaro validation support team,
Start with a known device type, e.g. KVM.

Thank you for provided these tutorial video, and I've installed virtual
device (e.g. kvm ) in my lava instance and some basic yaml test file in
lava_test_shell.
But I still could not install these test into physical devices,
I wonder could it possible to bypass the deploy_image / boot steps, and run
test directly.
To test the ser2net connection, I've edited the /etc/ser2net.conf and
device.conf
, and connected to the device via lava connect <device> successfully.
And other actions reminded to deploy the image,
so I've tried 'dummy_deploy' in the job definition, but it still could not
install 'test' into device.
I'm not sure is there anything that I forgot to notice..
And could you provide some basic device.conf and job definition that could
bypass the deploy / boot image steps .
Thank you so much.
Best Regards,
C.H. Wu
*Dear Linaro validation support team,*
Our lab have the same problem about the device connection to LAVA.
And I had read the mail in Feb 12
*https://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/linaro-validation/2016-February/002646.html
<https://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/linaro-validation/2016-February/002646.h…>*
But there’ s some basic problems still could not be solved. (All the submit
jobs so far could not execute on the real boards.)
1. How could I execute some basic commands in the device and get the
report from bundle stream.
Like transmit file or simple instructions to the board. ( was preinstalled
with image but no ssh sever function inside.)
2. How to configure device and server for serial connection and tftp
transmission
3. How the LAVA dispatcher use the connection commands
The below is our setting about LAVA
a. We have installed LAVA on Debian Jessie PC and created administrator
.
b. Device attached to the same PC was added to LAVA dispatcher
*device_type = test*
*hostname = test01*
*connection_command = sg dialout "screen /dev/ttyS0 38400"*
Could you please provide some hints or link for further understanding.
Thanks,
kkbomb
