Hi,
I'm looking into LAVA and I figured I'd give it a try by flashing a frdm-k64f MCU board and parse its output (the board behaves as a USB to UART adapter through /dev/ttyACM0 at 115200bps). I created the board instance as:
{% extends 'frdm-k64f.jinja2' %}
{% set board_id = '0240000048824e45004a700add89001a8761000097969900' %}
{% set usb_mass_device = '/dev/disk/by-id/usb-MBED_VFS_0240000048824e45004a700add89001a8761000097969900-0:0' %}
I'm able to launch a job (frdm-k64f.job) but LAVA complains and returns:
Invalid job data: ["Invalid device configuration - missing 'commands'"]
So I went looking for an example and found this<https://git.lavasoftware.org/fabo/lava/blob/bc44750733f57de09909f45ba7e65fa…> which defines something called connection_commands as:
{% set connection_commands = {'usb0': 'telnet lab-slave-0 7115'} %}
Based on the documentation<https://docs.lavasoftware.org/lava/connections.html> I'm under the impression that the slave/dispatcher is expected to momentarily open a telnet server on port 7115 and forward the output of the serial port through that server to be retrieved by a client implemented by the master.
If I match the example the dispatcher flashes the board, but a telnet server is never launched on the slave. It's not surprising as at no point did I specify a tty or a baud rate for the dispatcher to connect to the board in order and launch something like:
socat TCP-LISTEN:7115,fork,reuseaddr FILE:/dev/ttyACM0,b115200,raw
When I sit on the slave and manually launch the command the master successfully connects to TCP port 7115. Problem is it does so after the board outputted its results (and obviously it's not the right way to do it).
So I have 3 questions:
* How should a UART connection be specified (/dev/ttyACM0, 115200bps) to LAVA?
* Once the UART connection specified, will the dispatcher buffer the board's output until it is retrieved by the master?
* Why does LAVA rely on a telnet channel instead of the existing zmq channel to forward the output of the board from the slave to the master?
Thanks
Hello,
We have few device types in our LAVA instance that use ums mechanism to be deployed. This has worked well so far but we have now the need to test secure boot flow (BL1, BL2...) and we cannot rely anymore in u-boot for deploying them.
Assuming we have the HW in place to put the DUT in recovery mode, how can we achieve this via LAVA? Do you have an existent example where you automate the recovery mode of a board?
Thanks

Hello everyone,
I have the following entry in my lxc device dictionary:
{% set static_info = [
{'board_id': 'FTXTBHMA'},
] %}
This adds my USB-serial converter installed on the worker machine to the LXC. It appears correctly in the LXC:
root@lxc-generic-remote-5937:~# ls -la /dev/ttyUSB*
crw-r----- 1 root root 188, 0 Jul 30 13:15 /dev/ttyUSB0
crw-r----- 1 root root 188, 1 Jul 30 13:15 /dev/ttyUSB1
crw-r----- 1 root root 188, 2 Jul 30 13:15 /dev/ttyUSB2
crw-r----- 1 root root 188, 3 Jul 30 13:15 /dev/ttyUSB3
I cannot read from or write to it, though:
root@lxc-generic-remote-5937:~# cat /dev/ttyUSB0
cat: /dev/ttyUSB0: Operation not permitted
This does not seem to be a permission issue in the LXC, it fails even if I set all permissions:
root@lxc-generic-remote-5937:~# chmod a+rwx /dev/ttyUSB0
root@lxc-generic-remote-5937:~# cat /dev/ttyUSB0
cat: /dev/ttyUSB0: Operation not permitted
Does anybody have an idea what is missing here?

Hello, LAVA Team!
I have question about device description.
I have problems with *pre_power_command*
If I don't use requests : pre_power_command in my job description, i get
error, that no request implementation.
So in my case, I need to switch device to fastboot mode by sending command
via serial connection. And I decided, that pre_power_command is better
solution for me. Cause before fastboot deploying by setting up this command
I will switch device's mode.
And here I stuck, cause I received error message:
no pre_power_command implementation.

Hi, LAVA Team!
I'm trying to add my new device.
It must be flashed by fastboot.
To turn device into fastboot mode, I need to write "reboot bootloader" via
serial connection.
I have tried
set soft_reboot_command = ['reboot bootloader']
and received error message
lava-lxc protocol: FAILED executing 'lxc-attach -n lxc-hikey-test-4 -- adb
reboot bootloader'

Hi,
we have a LAVA test setup working for some time. Automated pipelines are
running tests on different devices in parallel.
After updating to version 2018.10+stretch and changing to in-line job
definitions we started to get some sporadic errors.
The error message shows up after jobs are submitted and the return from the
submission is then used to ask for server job details:
res = lava_server.submit_job(lava_test_job_description)
for entry in res:
job_details = lavasrv.job_details(entry)
...
Resulting in the following error:
lib/python3.5/site-packages/lavac/server.py", line 272, in job_details
raise get_server_error(error, job_id)
lavac.server.NoSuchJob: No such job: 68271.0
Trying to access LAVA WebUI using the jobid (68271.0):
500 Internal Server Error
Reverse for 'lava.scheduler.job.detail' with arguments '('',)' not found. 1
pattern(s) tried: ['scheduler/job/(?P<pk>[0-9]+|[0-9]+\\.[0-9]+)$']
Can you give me a hint about this error?
Thanks!
Hi Milosz,
I am using the Raspberry Pi 3 B+ board as a real target. It has AOSP Pie 9 on it and runs.
I would be interested now, to see like you said if I could run CTS,VTS on the board and omit deploy section.
What should I put in the boot section as method:
Would be the same fastboot or another method? I ask because the board is connected to LAN (and not over USB).
Is it ok just to omit deploy section?
In other words how would Lava know to access the board on ADB over its IP. Where should I set this info?
Example section (Milosz CTS&VTS example):

Hi Lava Users,
I have decided to continue using a real device: a Raspberry Pi 3 B+.
Because I have an iso with Android 9 Pie, to flash the board I want to use
deploy:
to: iso-installer
The question I'm having is:
Is it possible to use this mode to flash the board with ADB via Wifi?
(The board, I connected wifi to our router and I am able to connect with adb using wifi)
(The board does not have USB/OTG interface so the only option is to use ADB on wifi.)
What I try to achieve is deploy the image I have - iso one (flash), with adb using wifi, and run as tests CTS and VTS.

our current use case doesn't require power cycling the device. It uses the same OS build and tests are executed in chroot environment. This is pretty specific setup for the use case (doesn't require changing kernel).

yes, you need to be able to forcibly power cycle the device. With battery inside the phone this isn't possible, so you have to remove battery and replace it with power supply you can turn off.

What is your use case? Are you testing tradefed (ex CTS) changes and stick with the same Android build or do you test Android (kernel, libraries, etc) changes? If it's the former you might be lucky and use existing nexus5 support. If you want to test android using CTS, HW modification is necessary.

It appears always, right from the start of the job.
lxc is installed on my dispatcher.
Job description
https://pastebin.com/5g15YrWy
DUT description:
https://pastebin.com/bTKdaM5i
I know dut description is not full, but I want do step by step, firstly run
lxc on device.
Maybe you can give some advice about DUT desc.
I'm using fastboot flash for few partitions after that fastboot reboot
flash_cmds_order - it is order of flashing partition
fastboot_sequence - what is it?
Do you have some manual about this parameters description, cause have not
found it on your website.
And one more question, lxc deployed on dispatcher, right?
Best regards,
Ilya Fedusiv
Hi,
But I do not understand exactly for example if I can use a Nexus5x; the device is in the list of supported devices Steve McIntyre sent me.
Milosz Wasilewski said I cannot use it with Lava due to the lack of possibility to force power cycle on them (via serial interface - USB).
To be able to use it requires hw modification of the device?
What we want to have for the moment is a real device (ex, Nexus 5) on which to run Tradef with Lava.

There's a huge set of supported devices. If you don't already have LAVA installed, the easiest way to find the list is by looking at the set of device type configurations at
https://git.lavasoftware.org/lava/lava/tree/master/etc/dispatcher-config/de…
