Hi Ryan,

 

I was trying to rerun some tests at my end via LAVA on armv8 FVPs using 14.04 hwpack.

 

What I see is that LAVA fails prematurely stating that

 

Traceback (most recent call last):

   File "/srv/lava/.cache/git-cache/exports/lava-dispatcher/2014.03-17-g9381215/lava_dispatcher/actions/boot_control.py", line 105, in run

 RuntimeError: No SECURE FLASHLOADER found, u'bl1.bin'

 

 

Looking at the 14.04 hwpack I see that now there are 2 sets of bl* images there one for FVPs and another for Juno.

 

 

LAVA default config has

 

simulator_bl1 = bl1.bin

simulator_bl2 = [bB][lL]2.*.bin

simulator_bl3 = [bB][lL]31.*.bin

simulator_uefi = uefi_fvp-base.bin

 

fastmodel.py

# SECURE FLASHLOADERs are needed only for base and cortex models

if self._bl1 is None and self.config.simulator_bl1:

         raise RuntimeError('No SECURE FLASHLOADER found, %r' %

                                            self.config.simulator_bl1)

 

 

 

which I guess gets ‘checked’ by lava whether the needed files present and results in a runtime failure.

 

With the latest hardware packs, can you please confirm how does the bl images get unpacked?

 

Are they in some new folder structure because of platform variants are present?

 

Please advice.

 

For the moment I could not get LAVA to work with the latest hardware pack contents due to this issue.

 

Thanks
