Changes in this release
==================

## New device-types

New supported devices:

* aaeon-UPN-EHLX4RE-A10-0864
* imx8ulp-evk
* imx93-11x11-evk
* mt8192-asurada-spherion-r0
* synquacer-uboot

## Grub based device-types

Allow device-type to easily disable interrupting boot. This is not required if grub is build to always drop to a shell.

In the device-type template or device dictionary, add:
```jinja
{% set grub_needs_interrupt = false %}
```

## UUU and BCU

Add support for [BCU](https://github.com/NXPmicro/bcu#readme) to the UUU based device-types. This utility allows changing the board's boot configuration (mainly SD card, eMMC or USB Serial Download Protocol) through a serial interface.

In the device dictionary, add:

```jinja
{% set bcu_board_id = '2-1.3' %}
```

Then in the job definition, you can use bcu directly:

```yaml
- boot:
    method: uuu
    commands:
      - bcu: reset usb
      - uuu: -b emmc {boot}
      - bcu: set_boot_mode emmc
    timeout:
      minutes: 20
```

The support has been enabled for imx8dxl-evk imx8ulp-evk imx8mp-evk and imx93-11x11-evk device-types.

## OpenID connect

LAVA server can now support OpenID connect (for instance Azure ID or Keycloack) to authenticate users.

In roder to use this feature, you should install `mozilla-django-oidc` and add to the settings:

```yaml
AUTH_OIDC:
  OIDC_RP_CLIENT_ID: "1"
  OIDC_RP_CLIENT_SECRET: "bd01adf93cfb"
  OIDC_OP_AUTHORIZATION_ENDPOINT: "http://testprovider:8080/openid/authorize"
  OIDC_OP_TOKEN_ENDPOINT: "http://testprovider:8080/openid/token"
  OIDC_OP_USER_ENDPOINT: "http://testprovider:8080/openid/userinfo"
```

See [mozilla-django-oidc](https://mozilla-django-oidc.readthedocs.io/en/stable/settings.html) for the full list of options.

## Transfer Overlay

For device-type where the base OS does not provide tools to download over http (like wget or curl), the transfer overlay action can now use NFS.

In order to use this, the job definition would look like:

```yaml
- boot:
  [...]
  transfer_overlay:
      transfer_method: nfs
      download_command: mount -t nfs -o nolock
      unpack_command: cp -rf
```
