ReleaseEngineering/Projects/PandaBoards

What is the goal?

  • To have a testing automation for Android 4.0
  • To enable us to test NEON support (a graphics subsystem these cards have)
  • To test a different chipset architecture than the tegras (Tegra is largely a dying platform in mobile space)
  • To test on android 4.0
  • To have a mobilie automation platform that is more reliable and easier to flash than the tegras (less IT management cost)
  • To have a mobile platform that is faster than the tegras

What does mobile need/know?

What does the a-team need/know?

  • How do we do flashing of these devices so that you can flash with all required software from the get-go
  • Does it run through our test systems without dying?
  • How much faster is it than a tegra?

What does IT need/know?

What does releng need/know?

Point of contact: armenzg

  • a panda board
  • hook up the panda-board to the automation
  • know if the setup is the same as tegras (SUT agent, foopies)
    • clint: Exact same setup.
  • what suites are going to be run on it
    • clint: Everything we run on the tegras
  • imaging process
    • Ateam to define
  • ordering schedule
  • how many boards?
    • do we really know if the model we follow is scalable?? does the tegra model work?
    • ordering these many boards is simply ridiculous for manufacturers
  • do they have to be racked in haxxor?
    • clint: No. These are wired devices, no reason to use haxxor for this.
