Hello everyone,
I have two cases in which I need to reboot my device during tests:
?Depends entirely on the deployment/boot method used by the device.
Does the device-type support BMC?
What is BMC?
Baseboard Management Controller

(I'll reply to the rest of the email later once I've had a look at the template.)
Exactly which device-types are you wanting to use for this? If any of
these
are not merged upstream, please attach the full device-type Jinja2
template
in the reply.
We have implemented our own (still hacky) device type using our own bootloader. See the attached Jinja2 template.
Reboot is active part of the test (e.g. store some persistentsettings, reboot, check if persistent settings are correctly loaded
after
reboot)
?Lava Test Shell is not re-entrant. A separate test shell action will be required - *unless* this is an LXC test job where the test shell occurs in the LXC and the LXC has a way to do the reboot, e.g. a fastboot device.
Okay, we do not use fastboot. So I assume I have to add a test action for the first part, then a boot action to handle the reboot, and then add another test action for the latter part. Would that work?
Reboot is triggered and has to be evaluated (e.g. activatewatchdog, stop resetting it, wait, check if system reboots
automatically)
?Triggered - how??
As I described it above: using a watchdog. This is actually a test whether the watchdog service works correctly. I activate the watchdog, make it trigger a reboot and need to check whether this reboot actually happens. Is there a way to achieve this?
How can I hadle these two cases in LAVA?
?At the moment, all boot actions need to be defined in the test job in advance and then managed by LAVA. Even with that, some device-types do not successfully get back to a usable point.?
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards
