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'`.
