====== CIP testing FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) ======

===== 1.- What is B@D =====

B@D is an abbreviation for Board at Desk (Single Developer) the releasing of a Virtual Machine that contains all the kernelci tools so a single developer can test the CIP kernel (or any other Linux kernel) on a board connected to the user's development machine.
 
===== 2.- Where can I get help about LAVAv2? =====

If the question you have is general, you can get help in the [[https://lists.cip-project.org/mailman/listinfo/cip-dev|cip-dev mailing]] list or the #cip IRC channel on freenode. But if the question or the problem you are experiencing is a complex one, we recommend that you ask directly the LAVA developers on the [[https://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/lava-users|LAVA mailing list]] or the #linaro-lava IRC channel on freenode.

If the question you have is general, you can get help in the [[https://lists.cip-project.org/mailman/listinfo/cip-dev|cip-dev mailing list]] or the #cip IRC channel on freenode.

===== 4.- What filesystems does the Beaglebone Black use for testing? =====

The Beaglebone Black uses FAT12 for the boot partition and ext4 for the Linux partition. 

===== 5.- Does B@D only work with the Beaglebone Black? =====

The primary focus of the [[civilinfrastructureplatform/cipdownload|current release]] has been testing with a Beaglebone Black - tests have also been done on QEMU but testing of the release with other boards is encouraged as is reporting the results back to the B@D development team. The release also addresses support of the Renesas iWave-M (iwg20m) board 
but the Cyclone V is not supported yet.
