Hi all,
I’m failing to understand how to transfer an overlay (containing tests) to an embedded device.
My device health check runs a Kernel via tftp and works fine. When I’m trying to add tests it fails since the overlay isn’t found. How are tests added when outside of a QEMU instance (which uses mount)?.
My idea was to use SCP but defining a `ssh_host` for for the targeted device gives me an error since power commands are defined. I’m thinking of a workflow like tftpboot -> wait for prompt -> run scp -> run tests.
All I could find in the docs is MultiNode related, which is from my understanding something I don’t want for this very basic testing.
Could someone please give me some advise?
Best, Paul

I ended up using transfer_overlay which requires me to run an additional http server per dispatcher but it does the trick. If there is a better solution, please reach out!

As I understand there are 2 ways of delivering the overlay: http download after the boot, modification of rootfs before the boot. Since http works for you I would stick to that.
