Hi folks,
The 2019.04 tag has been pushed to master on git.lavasoftware.org. .deb packages have been built in GitLab CI and are available at
https://apt.lavasoftware.org/release
Docker images for amd64 and arm64 have been built in GitLab CI and are available from
and

Changes in this release =======================
Device-types ============
New device-types -----------------
New supported devices:
* A13-OLinuXino-MICRO (Allwinner) * AM65x-GPEVM (aka am6) (TI) * ar9331-dpt-module (DPTechnics) * BeagleBone Black * dove cubebox (Marvell) * i.MX23 (Olimex) * i.MX27-phytec-phycard-s-rdk (PHYTEC) * i.MX28-duckbill (EnOcean) * i.MX53-qsrb * i.MX6ul-pico-hobbit * i.MX6dl-riotboard (RIoTboard) * meson-g12a-sei510 (Amlogic) * meson-g12a-x96-max (Amlogic) * SoCFPGA Cyclone V SoCrates (Altera)
cubietruck ----------
The bootloader prompt for `cubietruck` has been updated from `"sun7i"` to `"sun7i# "`. In fact, the shorter form was also matching the dtb filename, making some job unreliable.
qemu ----
If one or more test actions are included in a qemu job, LAVA will create a disk image and will attach it to qemu.
Some emulated devices have no bus available for attaching this image (like cubieboard). Some emulated devices have an available bus but qemu is unable to attach to it due to the selected architecture (like vexpress).
For these boards, you need to set `guestfs_interface` to `None` and add a device with `drive=lavatest` in the job `context`:
context: extra_options: - -device virtio-bk-device,drive=lavatest guestfs_interface: None
rzn1 ----
`rz1` has been renamed to `rzn1d` to match OpenEmbedded board name.
Boot methods ============
Barebox -------
A new boot method called `barebox` has been contributed. This method, allows to boot boards using the `barebox` bootloader. Currently, the resources are deployed using `tftp`.
A brebox job would look like:
actions: - deploy: to: tftp kernel: url: http://.../zImage nfsrootfs: url: http://.../jessie-armhf-nfs.tar.gz compression: gz dtb: url: http://.../am335x-bone.dtb …
- boot: method: barebox commands: nfs prompts: - 'root@jessie:' …
The following device-types support barebox: * ar9331-dpt-module (DPTechnics) * BeagleBone Black * dove cubebox (Marvell) * i.MX23 (Olimex) * i.MX27-phytec-phycard-s-rdk (PHYTEC) * i.MX28-duckbill (EnOcean) * i.MX53-qsbr * i.MX6dl-riotboard (RIoTboard) * SoCFPGA Cyclone V SoCrates (Altera)
dfu ---
Allow to use u-boot based dfu instead of the hardware one
On some boards, the hardware dfu serial number is set to 0000000. If the board provides two boot media (NOR and NAND for example), we can have a recovery u-boot on one media that will be used to flash the second media using dfu.
actions: - deploy: to: tmpfs images: sf_uboot0: image_arg: --alt sf_uboot0 --download {sf_uboot0} url: http://.../u-boot-ddr.itb - boot: namespace: dfu method: dfu
Grub ----
When booting with grub, users can now ask to serve the filesystem from NBD instead of ramdisk or NFS.
- boot: method: grub commands: nbd
Minimal -------
By default LAVA will reset the board power when executing the minimal boot action. Users can skip this step by adding ``reset: false``. This can be useful when testing bootloader in interactive tests and then booting to the OS.
- boot: method: minimal reset: false prompts: - 'root@debian:~#' - '/ #'
kexec -----
The `kexec` boot method has been fixed. Thanks to this support, users can test this kernel functionality:
- boot: method: kexec kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-4-amd64 initrd: /boot/initrd.img-3.16.0-4-amd64 command: /sbin/kexec kernel-config: /boot/config-3.16.0-4-amd64 boot_message: Starting new kernel options: - "--reuse-cmdline" auto_login: login_prompt: "login:" username: root
REST API ========
A new endpoint has been added to list `workers` at `/api/v0.1/workers`.
Some fields are now using human readable names instead of opaque constants:
* device: * health * state * device-type: * health_denominator * TestJob: * health * state * visibility * submitter
Job definition schema =====================
Web UI ------
When submitting or resubmitting a job from the web interface, the new schema validator will be used. Any errors found by the new schema validator will be reported as a warning.
Admin helper ------------
A new helper has been created for admins to validate old job definitions on their local instance:
lava-server manage jobs validate --newer-than 1d lava-server manage jobs validate --newer-than 1d --submitter lava-health
Job context -----------
The schema validator is now checking the content of the `context` dictionary. Only the following keys are now allowed:
* `arch`, `boot_console`, `boot_root`, `cpu`, `extra_options`, `guestfs_driveid`, `guestfs_interface`, `guestfs_size`, `machine`, `memory`, `model`, `monitor`, `netdevice`, `serial`, `vga` * `bootloader_prompt`, `console_device`, `extra_kernel_args`, `extra_nfsroot_args`, `kernel_loglevel`, `kernel_start_message`, `lava_test_results_dir`, `menu_interrupt_prompt`, `mustang_menu_list`, `test_character_delay`, `tftp_mac_address`
Jobs using keys that are not listed in this list will be rejected.
If you think that some more keys should be whitelisted, please send a patch.
Docker ======
Debian slim -----------
The `lava-server` and `lava_dispatcher` docker images are now based on `debian:stretch-slim`. This will reduce the size of the images slightly.
lavaserver uid --------------
In order to prevent any future issues, the `uid` and `gid` of the `lavaserver` user has been fixed to `200`.
If you are upgrading from a previous lava-server docker image and keeping the data (job logs, device dictionaries, ...) you will need to change the owner of the files and directory:
chown -R lavaserver:lavaserver /etc/lava-server/dispatcher-config chown -R lavaserver:lavaserver /var/lib/lava-server/
