Refer to https://validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/1890179,I had run a test case in real board successfully The nfsrootfs image is too big ,it took too many download time in every test. So I put kernel nfs and dtb image files on tftp server, then delete deploy action and add a few boot action commands to specify tftp addr... The parameters(login_prompt&usrname&prompts) of the boot action are same with success version(has deploy action): ... - boot: connection: telnet localhost 7000 method: u-boot ##note the fellow commands lines is new added,the success version(has deploy action)that commands line is only "commands:nfs" commands: - setenv serverip 192.168.1.5 - tftp 0x8...0000 zImage_arm_1 - tftp 0x4...0000 dtb_arm_1 - setenv nfsroot rootfs_1 - boot auto_login: login_prompt: "arm login:" username: root prompts: - root@arm:~# timeout: minutes: 3 ... After job submited,the log display that kernel startup and rootfs mount ok, but it always failed at login error. error log lines: err info:lava-test-shell: Wait for prompt ['root@arm:~#', 'Login incorrect', 'Login timed out', 'lava-test: # '] (timeout 00:05:00) Nothing to run. Maybe the 'deploy' stage is missing, otherwise this is a bug which should be reported.
In addition, does the uboot prompts(u-boot=>) no need to describe in boot action section? In other words the prompts auto_login is only described for kernel?
