Bug#1079220: O: python-mbed-host-tests -- module and utilities to flash, reset and test Mbed Enabled devices

[Nick Morrott <nickm@debian.org>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: python-mbed-host-tests@packages.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:python-mbed-host-tests

I intend to orphan the python-mbed-host-tests package.

This package currently sits in the Debian Python team and is part of the yotta
build system for the firmware-microbit-micropython package.

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/python-mbed-host-tests

The package description is:
 The mbed-host-tests module and mbedhtrun and mbedflsh utilities are used
 during ARM Mbed Enabled device development for:
 .
  * Driving test binary flashing
  * Device reset
  * Test execution
 .
 The default binary flashing method is one supported by mbed-enabled devices:
 a binary file is copied onto the mbed-enabled DUT's (Device Under Test) mounted
 drive (MSD). This procedure will automatically flash device with given binary
 file content.
 .
 The default DUT reset method is one supported by mbed-enabled devices: the
 serial port (CDC) "sendBreak" command resets the target MCU on mbed-enabled
 platform.
 .
 The test execution phase will consist of:
 .
  * Opening connection between host computer and DUT
  * DUT will send to host preamble with test runner information such as:
    - test environment version
    - test timeout
    - preferred host test script (Python script which is used to
      supervise/instrument test execution)
  * Host will spawn host test script and test execution will be instrumented
  * Exchange data (in most cases text) between host and DUT
 .
 This package contains the Python 3 module and mbedhtrun and mbedflsh
 utilities.
