http://linux.codehelp.co.uk/?p=90 http://armv7.com/scheduler/job/3228 Current test takes a little more than 3 minutes on the imx6q-wandboard. Issues ====== 0: The current initrd needs manual updates and it should be a Debian rootfs. This needs scripting - the current modules need to be added as well. My current manual method for doing that is on the blog. 1: The initial test just does uname -a - suggestions for more relevant tests are welcome 2: Installer support is not ready yet. I haven't got the preseeding complete and most devices do not have secondary media to do an actual install. However, testing the kernel itself is ok. 3: Current test is tftp based, other methods can be looked at (as is the option of updating u-boot on relevant devices to support tftp). Availability ============ ARMv7 devices from amongst these types: http://armv7.com/scheduler/?device_sort=name#device_ https://staging.validation.linaro.org/scheduler/?device_sort=name#device_ (ARMv7 devices are broadly similar between staging.validation.linaro.org and validation.linaro.org) lava-server is in Jessie and can run these tests locally if people are interested or if there are boards which are not yet available in LAVA at either of the above locations. Next steps ========== 0: A wiki page / list matching the list of dtb files here: https://packages.debian.org/sid/armhf/linux-image-3.14-2-armmp/filelist with a list of LAVA device types from those currently available. 1: A service hosted either locally by me or remotely on a debian box somewhere to submit jobs, one per device type, to LAVA when the package changes (and a new initrd built using that package becomes available). 2: Once more useful tests are running, we can track the performance of the ARMMP kernel across multiple boards over time. 3: DebConf14 is coming up and I'd like to talk about this area more at Portland. There has already been discussion about a wiki page to support the ARMMP package description - it would make sense to use the same one. Did anyone start one? -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
