We have got now demonstrated LAVA runs on AEMv8 , Cortex_Base_Model4x4 and Cortex_Base_Model1x1 following Linaro instructions.
One of the key usecases we have is for the ability to swap out the kernel or the firmware binaries from previously released hardware pack, and test the release candidate binaries using LAVA setup.
Q:: Can you advice how best to go about within LAVA setup to swap out the contents of the hardware pack for testing?
If you have a DEB package with your kernel, you can use the command line tool "linaro-hwpack-replace" to replace a package contained in a hardware pack. It is part of "linaro-image-tools":

Is there an option where somehow I can specify via test definition, a location for the binaries which have to be replaced in the hw-pack ‘unpacked location’?
You should be able to call "linaro-hwpack-replace" by adding instructions in the YAML file, as long as it is installed and available in the PATH. Hope it might help.
