I think what you are referring to is the master image layout - note that this uses a micro SD card, not the eMMC. It's safer to run tests on media which can be removed & replaced, especially if some of those tests could end up being destructive. Generally, LAVA is moving away from master images and you may find NFS to be a much easier way to test on the BBB, depending on what you are trying to test. The eMMC also isn't large enough to create partitions for the master image and the test image partitions needed for most tests.
Pre-built master images can be found here: http://images.validation.linaro.org/lava-masters/ but I would not recommend using these on eMMC. BBB in the Cambridge lab have made the eMMC into unused space and do everything on a microSD card - which also gives a lot more space than the 2Gb eMMC.

Note also that the refactoring will simply need a bootloader and the need to have any predefined partitions anywhere on the BBB goes away completely. (There is a lot more documentation to write before the refactored becomes the default).

Hi All,
I'm setting up a local LAVA scheduler+dispatcher (standalone).
I'm able to posts jobs, but I think I'm missing an initial configuration for some actions to complete, namely action deploy_linaro_image
the eMMC flash content of my BBB-RevB6 is pretty standard (debian-7.9 of 2015-11-03, 2gb image). Based on the log, the dispatcher expects the default "testboot" and "testrootfs" partitions with offset 2, I assuime this means that those partitions must be manually created the first time with index 3 and 4 in order for this to work.
I would appreciate some hints, to avoid unnecessary test-and-try, what would be the expected partitionning for BBB with LAVA ?
Thanks in advance, best regards, Marc.
