B@D: iwg20m support


Daniel Sangorrin <daniel.sangorrin@...>
 

Hi Trung-san, Robert and all

I received the AWS credentials from Agustin and uploaded
the cip-core binaries for the Renesas iwg20m board.

https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/download.cip-project.org/cip-core/iwg20m/uImage

You will need to patch the master branch of the B@D git
repository with the next three patches. Please re-install
from the latest code just to make sure we are on the same page.
Robert: please, could you ask Tom to merge them?

[PATCH 1/3] Vagrantfile: support the http proxy plugin
[PATCH 2/3] iwg20m: add device type and dictionary template
[PATCH 3/3] iwg20m: add a test that boots a cip-core ramdisk

Making it work is a bit complicated so I have prepared a guide
for you. Check it below and make sure you don't skip any step or
modify any file without a reason.

Regards,
Daniel

Enabling Renesas board
======================

Prepare your IP Power 9258 PDU
- Set the password
- Set the IP address to 192.168.11.68

Virtualbox serial port (ser2net) setup
host$ sudo apt install virtualbox-ext-pack
host$ sudo adduser <user> vboxusers
- Oracle VM Virtualbox manager
Settings > USB > add the device USB-UART device
(/dev/ttyUSB1 on the host will become /dev/ttyUSB0 inside the VM)

Prepare network interfaces for tftp and for controlling the remote power switch (PDU)
host$ vagrant up
host$ vagrant ssh
vagrant$ sudo -s
vagrant# ifconfig eth1:1 192.168.11.76/24 <-- PDU ip: 192.168.11.68
vagrant# export no_proxy="192.168.11.68, $no_proxy"
vagrant# curl http://admin:<password>@192.168.11.68/set.cmd?cmd=setpower+p61=1 (switch on)
vagrant# curl http://admin:<password>@192.168.11.68/set.cmd?cmd=setpower+p61=0 (switch off)

Check ser2net is working
vagrant# curl http://admin:<password>@192.168.11.68/set.cmd?cmd=setpower+p61=1 (switch on)
vagrant# telnet localhost 8020
[IMP] you should be able to see u-boot and kernel messages
[Note] to quit: Ctrl-] and quit

Prepare the tftp server
host$ sudo service tftpd-hpa stop <-- to avoid conflicts

Check the status of the device
- make sure that your device type definitions are updated
vagrant# less /etc/lava-server/dispatcher-config/device-types/renesas-iwg20m.jinja2 <-- renesas-iwg20m.jinja2
vagrant# less /etc/lava-server/dispatcher-config/devices/iwg20m01.jinja2 <-- myiwg20m.jinja2
- check the workers
vagrant# lava-server manage workers list
Workers:
* stretch.localdomain (3 devices) (master) <-- hostname --long
- check the device list
vagrant# lava-server manage device-types list
* beaglebone-black (1 devices)
* qemu (1 devices)
* renesas-iwg20m (1 devices)

Changing SERVER_IP so that the target downloads from the proper address
- SERVER_IP corresponds to the address of the dispatcher
- LAVA V2 settings
Ref: https://validation.linaro.org/static//docs/v2/pipeline-admin.html#extra-dispatcher-configuration
vagrant# cp /usr/share/lava-dispatcher/dispatcher.yaml /etc/lava-server/dispatcher.d/stretch.localdomain.yaml <-- the name of the worker!!
vagrant# vi /etc/lava-server/dispatcher.d/stretch.localdomain.yaml
dispatcher_ip: 192.168.1.66
vagrant# ifconfig eth1:2 192.168.1.66/24
vagrant# service lava-server restart
vagrant# service lava-slave restart
vagrant# service tftpd-hpa restart

Add binaries to the kernel-ci storage server
host$ cp -rf path/to/binaries board-at-desk-single-dev/
[Note] The binaries must be as follows (see test definition):
- iwg20m/r8a7743-iwg20d-q7.dtb (rename from uImage-r8a7743-iwg20d-q7.dtb)
- iwg20m/uImage
- iwg20m/core-image-minimal-iwg20m.cpio.gz
[Note] You can download them from here
https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/download.cip-project.org/cip-core/iwg20m/core-image-minimal-iwg20m.cpio.gz
https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/download.cip-project.org/cip-core/iwg20m/r8a7743-iwg20d-q7.dtb
https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/download.cip-project.org/cip-core/iwg20m/uImage
host$ cd board-at-desk-single-dev/
host$ vagrant rsync
vagrant# cp -r /vagrant/binaries/iwg20m/ /var/www/images/kernel-ci/
vagrant# ls /var/www/images/kernel-ci/iwg20m/
core-image-minimal-iwg20m.cpio.gz r8a7743-iwg20d-q7.dtb uImage
[Note] Use http://localhost:8010/iwg20m/ in the tests
vagrant# service nginx restart

Login into LAVA
host$ firefox http://localhost:8080/
lavauser:mylava1234
Scheduler > Submit job
- Copy and paste tests/iwg20m-test-ramdisk.yaml
- It should work as follows:
+ LAVA causes the board to switch on
+ LAVA downloads the kernel/dt/ramdisk from the storage server
and overlays necessary LAVA binaries
+ LAVA interrupts u-boot and executes 'run bootcmd'
+ The board downloads the files by TFTPBOOT
+ LAVA detects the login prompt and logs in
+ LAVA detects the shell prompt and executes its test (uname -a)
+ LAVA causes the board to switch off
(IT WORKS)
