Paweł Wieczorek

Designing custom hardware, though might seem intimidating at first, can simplify many activities. It solves certain issues, but often raises many others. Paweł will present a fresh open hardware approach at providing remote access (including device flashing, debugging and power management) to embedded devices - MuxPi, successor of SD MUX board (showcased during FOSDEM 2016 and Embedded Linux Conference 2016).

This talk will introduce novices to the topic of testing on remote embedded devices and previous attempts to do so. Presentation will also introduce components of the new Tizen GNU/Linux distribution's testing laboratory (currently in the process of being published open source):

• Boruta - board farm management system,
• Weles - LAVA-compatible testing framework,
• Perun - binary image testing system.

It will focus on hardware aspects of proposed solution (MuxPi). Software stack design is discussed in detail during talk in Testing and automation devroom.

Presentation will hopefully encourage discussion on this topic or inspire attendees to try this open hardware design out in their own setups and share feedback on what can be further improved.

Advanced capabilites of presented hardware (MuxPi) are discussed during talk in Embedded, mobile and automotive devroom.

This talk will hopefully encourage discussion on this topic or inspire attendees to try those components out in their own setups and share feedback on what can be further improved.

Linaro Automated Validation Architecture (LAVA) is without a doubt one of the best currently available tools for managing board farms. It is proven to be quite a handy tool for both developers and tests automation engineers. Although it is provided together with extensive documentation, creating first own laboratory might be a challenging task. Does it have to be for every newcomer? During this talk Paweł will guide through the process of setting up own LAVA instance. Starting from LAVA installation, through common post-install tasks, up to running first tests on a brand new board farm.

This talk will provide an introduction to setting up and maintaining LAVA laboratory. Presentation aims at breaking barriers between novice users and the technology itself. Paweł will also present how to manage LAVA configuration and how to easily make deployments automated and reproducible. Materials shared during this talk focus on providing starting points for both beginners and experienced LAVA administrators.
