Hi folks,
The 2024.01 tag has been pushed to master on gitlab.com/lava/lava.
.deb packages have been built in GitLab CI and are published at
https://apt.lavasoftware.org/release
Docker images for amd64 and arm64 have been built in GitLab CI and
are available from
https://registry.gitlab.com/
and
https://hub.docker.com/u/lavasoftware
Changes in this release
==================
# Upgrading
## Database migrations
This release includes one migration in lava_scheduler_app. Remote artifact token
max length is increased from 100 to 200 for super-long API tokens.
# Device-types
## New device-types
New supported devices:
* stm32mp157a-dhcor-avenger96
* meson-g12b-a311d-libretech-cc
* meson-sm1-s905d3-libretech-cc
* imx93-11x11-evk-pmic-pf0900
* avh(Arm Virtual Hardware)
* imx95-19x19-evk
* dell-latitude-3445-7520c-skyrim
* mt8186-corsola-steelix-sku131072
## NXP
Download addresses for i.MX8 are updated to match those shipped in the
firmware for i.MX8MP-EVK which has been continuing to work happily. The old
addresses no longer give enough room to avoid them overwriting each other.
# LAVA publisher
IPV6 is supported in ZMQ events now. Adding the following line in server
settings enables IPV6 support.
```yaml
EVENT_IPV6: true
```
# LAVA scheduler
* Improve device's Jinja template performance by using a shared Jinja
environment. The template cache will be shared between HTTP requests and no
longer spend time to compile templates for every request. For example, when a
dispatcher downloads job from the server the template has to be rendered with
a job's context.
* Record worker health transitions. Worker online and offline state changes are
logged and displayed now.
# REST API
The `/device/validate` endpoint now requires "add_device" permission.
# Deploy and boot methods
## avh
New AVH deploy and boot methods are added for integrating Arm Virtual Hardware
in LAVA.
Example:
```yaml
device_type: avh
job_name: avh-rpi4b-deploy-boot-example
timeouts:
job:
minutes: 60
priority: medium
visibility: public
secrets:
# The value should be the name of user's remote artifact token
avh_api_token: remote_artifact_token_name
actions:
- deploy:
to: avh
options:
model: rpi4b
api_endpoint: https://app.avh.arm.com/api
project_name: "Default Project"
timeout:
minutes: 30
images:
rootfs:
# Disk image.
url: https://example.com/rpi4b/nand
format: ext4
# root partition for LAVA test overlay.
root_partition: 1
# Partition for custom overlays.
partition: 1
overlays:
modules:
compression: xz
format: tar
path: /
url: https://example.com/rpi4b/modules.tar.xz
kernel:
url: https://example.com/rpi4b/kernel
dtb:
url: https://example.com/rpi4b/devicetree
- boot:
method: avh
timeout:
minutes: 20
prompts:
- "pi@raspberrypi:"
- "root@raspberrypi:"
auto_login:
login_prompt: "login:"
username: pi
password_prompt: 'Password:'
password: raspberry
login_commands:
- sudo su
```
## fvp
Added buffering to the model stdout and stderr. Without this buffering, the
model sometimes hangs when stdout or stderr buffers are full.
## fastboot
DUT will be powered off when fastboot timeout. On some devices, the fastboot
command will never return and is not killable. This might block lava-run
forever. Powering-off the DUT will release fastboot command.
## uuu
* Fixed individual action timeout not being respected in
boot-corrupt-boot-media.
* Disconnect device after uuu boot action to flush the output buffer.
## download
Allow to turn off kisscache at job level.
Example:
```yaml
- deploy:
timeout:
minutes: 5
to: tmpfs
images:
rootfs:
use_cache: false
```
# LAVA dispatcher
## Git clones
Added 6 times retries for git clone function. It could be helpful for
infrastructure level one time failure.
## DUT output
In case it is needed by post-processing out of LAVA, single `\r` character in
pexpect output is not stripped off anymore.
## Test definition parameters
Fixed test definition parameter `0` being converted to the empty string. LAVA
dispatcher converts both key values `None` and `0` to `''` before. Now only
`None` is converted.
Example:
```yaml
- test:
timeout:
minutes: 5
definitions:
- repository: http://git.linaro.org/lava-team/lava-functional-tests.git
from: git
path: lava-test-shell/smoke-tests-net.yaml
name: smoke-tests
parameters:
USE_NC: 0
```
`USE_NC: 0` was converted to `USE_NC=''` in the `run.sh` shell script before. It
is now converted to `USE_NC='0'`.
