Hey Dave,
Thanks for getting all the new snowballs up and running!
As an FYI: I marked snowball10 as "retired" in production and
configured it to run off staging. I'm working through the health check
there now, but I think things are cool.
Hi All,
I notice that there are still some jobs being submitted to LAVA with the device-type "vexpress". This device type is now deprecated and has been replaced by the more specific device type vexpress-a9. The jobs seem to be coming from CI and Android. Could someone amend these submissions?
Thanks
Dave

Hi,
I've just had a visit from a couple of guys from the ARM Fast Models team, and they asked an interesting question, namely would there be any interest for us of fast models of current hardware, such as Panda-es, new Samsung board etc.
Off the top of my head, I couldn't think of any, except if we say wanted to run a cluster type test where we might need several dedicated boards, but don't have sufficient real hardware. What about anyone else? Thoughts/ideas?
Thanks
Dave

Hi,
We currently do a few builds in Linaro that can boot on a whole set of
device_types.
Example: vexpress android can be build only once, but run in LAVA on
vexpress-a9, -15, -TC2 and fastmodel XX,YY,ZZ, etc.
Unfortunately, we don't really support that use case very well in our
CI so we end up submitting the artifact of a build to only one
device_type automatically.
One approach to that problem would be to grow a feature in the
scheduler to accept jobs that have a list of device_types in the job
description.
Thoughts? Other ideas?

OK. Got the new router, had some teething troubles getting it set up, but I am now connected to it through the leased line as I send this e-mail!
Will not do the actual switch over until Monday, because as Alexander noted, I don't want the risk of a disturbed weekend.
Thanks
Dave

Hi Prakash,
As was said in other threads, we sort of understand why resolv.conf isn't there, and it doesn't matter that it's not, so we need to fix the problem where it fails because it isn't there. It should be a trivial fix.

Hi all,
Just a heads up that sometime later today I will be switching the vexpress device type and vexpress-a901 off, and we will be moving to:
Device Type Instances
vexpress-a5 vexpress-a5-01
vexpress-a9 vexpress-a9-01
vexpress-tc2 vexpress-tc2-01
vexpress-tc2-02
vexpress-tc2-03
vexpress-tc2-04
Notes:
* vexpress-tc2-01 will remain offline for external user testing. I'm thinking that perhaps we should switch this around and make that tc2-04 and then remove it from the list to make it tidier
* I have one spare a9 tile and a mother board. Does anyone want me to put this in a new motherboard and bring a second a9 online?
* Until we have a boot solution for vexpress-a5 that will stay invisible
The upshot is, that any jobs you were submitting on a daily basis to device-type vexpress, will now have to be changed to vexpress-a9. Shout now if you want me to delay this switch over.
Thanks
Dave

Only 1 today:
-----------------
panda-es03
-----------------
http://validation.linaro.org/lava-server/scheduler/job/32798
Some sort of kernel panic froze the board. Went on to it and rebooted, on the surface seems to be fine. Put back online to re-test
