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).

That makes a lot of sense, thank you Neil! I'll be happy to test the refactored version once it's available and I'm a bit seasoned with LAVA.

Marc.

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.
