The CIP open workshop will take place on Sunday 22th (the day before the ELCE starts) in the (room to be confirmed) on the ELCE venue from 14:00 to 18:00.

Please send your content proposals or topics you are interested on to the cip-dev mailing list. They will be discussed and the agenda will be defined as soon as possible.

This is the schedule for the CIP workshop on Sunday 22nd October 2017 which will take place at room Athens

• Goal: learn the basics of B@D in order to test the CIP kernel and CIP system.
• Description: B@D is a testing environment based on LAVA + KernelCI that allows you to test a kernel or a simple system in a board set up locally, like for example, connected to your own laptop. The workshop will guide you on the installation and configuration of the environment. Using the CIP kernel and system, those participating in the training session will learn how to execute tests on the board, get the results and interpret them.
• Number of participants: 10
• Pre-requisites:
  • Participants:
    • A laptop with enough space to install B@D which is a VM-VirtualBox (around 13 Gb).
    • The supported OS are Linux and W10 only. More info about the base system to come.
    • BBB and cables to connect it to the laptop: serial and network (RJ45) cables. There will be 5 boards available (Renesas). If you are not coming with your own BeagleBone Black (BBB) and need a board, please state so in the registration table below.
• Duration: 90 min

    • Check the slides
  • Networking modifications
    • Check the slides
  • Check connections to board - ftdi & ssh

    • Serial in console / putty or similar on windows.
• How B@D works
  • Main links are on the slides

• Copy the box
  • going to talk through and assist with use of the already provisioned box
  • check attendees on requirements
  • copy box to their machines (we are going to provide a copy of the git repos too)
  • importbox.sh - outline use
• vagrant ssh
• Up the box
  • me and them check progress
  • user catchup
• kernelci
  • outline kernelci
  • repos already there - show git state
  • set up env variables (different to what's on the box!) and run it (with them)
  • Enumerate them here with build command (handout?)
  • export TREE_NAME=cip-example

export ARCH=arm

      export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf-  
       * user catchup
    * What about initramfs??
 * while the above happens 
    * going to need 2 ssh sessions on the vm!
    * check ip address of host and update jinja 
       * sed  's/10.24.3.106/<host_ip>/g' mybbb.dat > bbb.mine
       * show how to add to data dictionary
       * sudo cp bbb.mine /etc/lava-server/dispatcher-config/devices/bbb01.jinja2
       * user catchup
 * U-boot version. LAVA fix
    * Certain versions of U-Boot on the Beaglebone black have => as a prompt rather than  U-Boot=> in the ‘=>’ case you need to make the following change on the VM -
    * sudo vi /etc/lava-server/dispatcher-config/device-types/beaglebone-black.jinja2
    * Add the line: {% set bootloader_prompt = bootloader_prompt|default('=>') %} 
    * (line 2)
  * The built kernel. Web interface
     * kernelci
       * start webserver /vagrant/scripts/start_webserver.sh
       * show results - a variety
 * Integration of LAVA and kernelci
    * And this box also has ...
 * LAVAv2
    * visit http://localhost:8080
    * login
    * show health checks (link?) - qemu, BBB and renesas
 * Health Check
    * When?
    * show health check results - table and an individual result
    * Run healthcheck
       * ...and hopefully the tutees!
       * Allow users to catchup - if that’s possible - though it would be good to run even if it’s going to fail!
 *  Notify
    * have a pre-prepared yaml file with notify (at least irc, will email work? - best not privacy concerns!?)
    * run lava-tool 
    * user catchup

• 3 files should be in the $directory (uimage, ramfs, dtb)
• As before place these in the kernelci locations as defined in the test case file
• Modify jinja file if needed, replace telnet ip with specific etc
• Ensure a local telnet/ssh can happen before health check
• Copy paste health check into test, run etc
• The board does serial over micro usb, baud rate 115200 (check which dev/ on linux & on windows use device manager to get correct port for putty etc)
