Not able to have any U-boot scripts executed on Lava

by Zoran S

Hello, I have very interesting problem: I would like to do Lava testing of BBB01, but I am not suceeding. Simple and plain, my U-Boot scripts gets somehow rejected, they are not executed. I do download correctly, I have all the correct ingredients in place, but the U-Boot scripts are not activated, at the time of U-boot prompt. Here is my output, from the testing: https://pastebin.com/hTQQSLU1 Rather, the thing gets executed from SDCard (from /boot on rootfs). I have no idea why this is not executed. Help appreciated! Thank you, Zoran

Simple boot testing doesn't have to include a test action at all, just deploy and boot. That's the point: I don't need the overlay action in my strategy. But I had to include it, because the command action did not work without it. And to clarify things: The overlay you are talking about (adding LAVA files to the rootfs) is not the overlay I am talking about (replacing placeholders in the commands with actual values). >I assume that simply no one has ever used "BootloaderCommandsAction" without "BootloaderCommandOverlay", so no one ever noticed.

But why are they set in "BootloaderCommandOverlay" in the first place? This is totally unexpected. I am new to the code, so I don't know anything about the internals. But from a user's perspective, it seems like bad design to have an action's essential variable set in a different action.

Sending commands with the minimal bootloader class

by Tim Jaacks

Hello everyone, I have a device with a very basic proprietary bootloader and want to automate it with LAVA. I figured out that the "minimal" bootloader class covers basically everything I need, except that it cannot send commands to the bootloader. So for a quick test, I added "self.internal_pipeline.add_action(BootloaderCommandsAction())" to actions/boot/minimal.py. With this modification (*) I was able to create a device class which can run a smoke test successfully on my device. In a former question on this mailing list concerning the integration of my bootloader, someone recommended me to implement a new boot strategy. Would you accept a code contribution which adds a new boot strategy only differing from the "minimal" strategy in this one addition? Or would it perhaps make sense to add the "BootloaderCommandsAction" directly to the "minimal" strategy? (*) As a sidenote I'd like to add, that using "BootloaderCommandsAction" alone does not work. I had to add "BootloaderCommandOverlay" as well, because the "commands" are set at the end of the "run" function of this class: self.set_namespace_data(action='bootloader-overlay', label=self.method, key='commands', value=subs) Is this by design? It seems like a bug to me, since I did not find any documentation about this dependency. I assume that simply no one has ever used "BootloaderCommandsAction" without "BootloaderCommandOverlay", so no one ever noticed. In my opinion "BootloaderCommandsAction" should work on its own.

Running large test suites

by Tim Jaacks

Hello everyone, we have a quite large test suite (> 150 testcases, and counting, devided into ~50 groups) which we want to run on our devices. This is required for each software release and would be nice for nightly builds as well. Our deployment method flashes kernel and root filesystem onto the internal flash memory, which takes ~3 minutes. Booting the OS from RAM or using remote filesystems (NFS) is not an option for us. We need to run all tests on a device booted completely from its internal flash memory. Ideally our OS image should be deployed once and then all the tests should run on top of that deployment. According to the LAVA documentation, best practice is not to put too many tests into one job file, as this would be hard to maintain and logs would become huge and difficult to read. What is recommended in such a scenario? My intentional tendency was to create a job for each test group (each containing ~3 testcases average), which occurs reasonable to me. However, this would result in 50 deployment cycles with 3 minutes each, resulting in 2,5 hours spent with basically unnecessary work. This, in turn, does not seem reasonable to me. Is there a possibility to combine jobs to run on the same device subsequently, so that the images need to be deployed only once? Or can jobs be nested somehow, so that one job does the deployment and contains sub-jobs which perform the actual tests? Or are there any other recommendations for this?

Adding new device type to Lava Dispatcher

by Zoran S

Hello to everyone, I need to add some scripts to the /etc/lava-server/dispatcher-config/device-types. It says to contact Lava mailing list in such a case, to get some guidance. Says here: https://staging.validation.linaro.org/static/docs/v2/device-integration.html *"Please* talk to us *before* starting on the integration of a new device using the Mailing lists <https://staging.validation.linaro.org/static/docs/v2/support.html#mailing-l…> ." The device I need to add is Renesas iwg20m: https://mp.renesas.com/en-us/boards/iW-RainboW-G20D-RZG1M_RZG1N_QsevenDevKi… I have on the device working MLO and U-Boot with some U-Boot environment which boot mmc, I also have working ser2net in Lava VM, it works seamlessly. So these are all the prerequisites for adding the device type, as my best understanding is? My Lava is upgraded: ||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-======================-================-================-================================================== ii lava-dispatcher 2018.2.post2-1+s amd64 Linaro Automated Validation Architecture dispatche ii lava-server 2018.2-1+stretch all Linaro Automated Validation Architecture server I have beaglebone-black <http://localhost:8080/scheduler/device_type/beaglebone-black> device type and added to it bbb01 device, which I finally made working with Lava. I updated the beaglebone-black-jinja2 script, and created in /etc/lava-server/dispatcher-config/devices bbb01.jinja2, added this device to beaglebone-black device type. I am wondering what should I do else, besides to write iwg20m.jinja2 which inherits base-uboot.jinja2 script??? iwg20m is similar to Beaglebone Black (it is, after all, armv7 silicon/platform based). And I can make iwg20m.jinja2 as similar analogy to beaglebone-black.jinja2 . And, btw, how to add the device-type? Using GUI? CLI? Any description? Thank you, Zoran

Re: [Lava-users] Error "Missing protocol 'lava-lxc'" in multinode LXC job

by Tim Jaacks

Hi Senthil, thanks for your reply. >> I want to set up a multinode job containing an LXC device. Unfortunately I always get the following error: >> >> Missing protocol 'lava-lxc' in ['lava-multinode'] > >This is because each role should have a lava-lxc protocol defined. Even real hardware devices? >Going through your job, I could see you are requesting a single device >(role) in your multinode job, which is not the use-case which multinode caters. There should be more than one device (roles) requested as part of the job. For a single device, single node jobs are the way to go. I know, this was deliberate in order to strip the error down to a minimal example. I started out with one LXC device and one real hardware device (which is actually the setup I want to use), which led to the above error. Then I removed parts of the job for simplification until (I hoped) the error would disappear. But it did not, even with a single LXC device. I assume a multimode job should work even if it only contains one single device, shouldn't it? >See https://staging.validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/213532 - which is a sample multinode job run with two lxc devices requested as part of the job. You can see how each role has a lava-lxc protocol defined for it. > >The job definition is available here - >https://git.linaro.org/lava-team/refactoring.git/plain/lxc-multinode.yaml Thanks, that pointed me the way. I had to add an additional "remote" key under "protocols/lava-lxc", so the job looks like this: job_name: lxc-pipeline timeouts: job: minutes: 15 action: minutes: 5 priority: medium visibility: public protocols: lava-multinode: roles: remote: device_type: lxc count: 1 timeout: minutes: 6 lava-lxc: remote: name: pipeline-lxc-test template: debian distribution: debian release: stretch mirror: http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ security_mirror: http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/debian-security/ actions: - deploy: timeout: minutes: 5 to: lxc os: debian role: - remote - boot: prompts: - 'root@(.*):/#' timeout: minutes: 5 method: lxc role: - remote - test: timeout: minutes: 5 definitions: - repository: git://git.linaro.org/qa/test-definitions.git from: git path: common/dmidecode.yaml name: dmidecode role: - remote This job runs without errors, even though it has only one single device in a multinode context.

Error "Missing protocol 'lava-lxc'" in multinode LXC job

by Tim Jaacks

Hello, I want to set up a multinode job containing an LXC device. Unfortunately I always get the following error: Missing protocol 'lava-lxc' in ['lava-multinode'] My LXC device works with singlenode jobs. I used this example job for reference: https://github.com/Linaro/lava-dispatcher/blob/release/lava_dispatcher/test… I only changed "release" from "sid" to "stretch" and then this job works correctly. For a minimal multinode job I added the "lava-multinode" protocol, defined a role and assigned this role to each action: job_name: lxc-pipeline timeouts: job: minutes: 15 action: minutes: 5 priority: medium visibility: public protocols: lava-multinode: roles: remote: device_type: lxc count: 1 timeout: minutes: 6 lava-lxc: name: pipeline-lxc-test template: debian distribution: debian release: stretch mirror: http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ security_mirror: http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/debian-security/ actions: - deploy: timeout: minutes: 5 to: lxc os: debian role: - remote - boot: prompts: - 'root@(.*):/#' timeout: minutes: 5 method: lxc role: - remote - test: timeout: minutes: 5 definitions: - repository: git://git.linaro.org/qa/test-definitions.git from: git path: common/dmidecode.yaml name: dmidecode role: - remote With this job definition the above error appears. Am I missing anything or is this a bug in LAVA?

LAVABug: KeyError: 'deployment_data'

by Иван Арищенко

Hello everyone, My targets are available via ssh interface and I don't need to update them (install kernel, rootfs, etc) before testing. My test case is: copy test binary at target device, run the test and check the result. As a first step I want to check the ssh connection: log into the device and check the promts. My LAVA 2018.2 instance failed to check the connection with "KeyError: 'deployment_data'" traceback: https://pastebin.com/2rsgBvx3 Job definition: https://pastebin.com/GJymcx3z device dictionary: https://pastebin.com/x08HgSqQ Is it the LAVA bug or lack of my job definition and device dictionary? Best Regards, Ivan Arishchenko
