Hello Matt,

Thanks for the pointer.Now I have updated the lava version on y Debian 9 host

tester@debiantest:/usr/lib$ dpkg -l lava-server
||/ Name                                           Version                      Architecture                 Description
+++-==============================================-============================-============================-==================================================================================================
ii  lava-server                                    2018.2-1+stretch             all                          Linaro Automated Validation Architecture server

Another basic question here is can the default python version be 2.7 or it should be python3?

tester@debiantest:/usr/lib$ python --version
Python 2.7.13

Now with the job definition specified it is proceeding but it fails to send Ctrl+B command when target reboots

[  767.466983] reboot: machine restart
TSrs;;e1
 Srs;;e1
RSrs;;e1
ok
Matt hacked colour fix -- iPXE 1.0.0+ (8dd18) -- Open Source Network Boot Firmware -- http://ipxe.org
Features: HTTP iSCSI DNS TFTP AoE SRP bzImage ELF MBOOT PXE PXEXT Menu
Press Ctrl-B for the iPXE command line... net0: 74:fe:48:1d:93:df using i210 on PCI03:00.0 (open)
  [Link:down, TX:0 TXE:0 RX:0 RXE:0]

Attached joboutput.txt is the complete job output.

Thanks,

Hemanth.

I wrote the iPXE support but with such an old version it's almost
impossible to help you here, as I don't remember the state of the code
at that time.

Why don't you need power control? What turns the device on/off?

Please note that iPXE != PXE. True PXE would require LAVA to control a
DHCP server etc, which it does not.
iPXE is really just a bootloader.
