Hi Everyone,

I am writing to give you an update on where we stand with the Civil Infrastructure Platform (CIP).

As many of you know, we are using KernelCI for the Continuous Integration component and LAVA v2 for the kernel Testing platform. KernelCI performs the kernel builds against specific configurations and can verify boots and SOC's as well. LAVA provides the testing framework & infrastructure. Both come with complete results reporting to document what went wrong in the build, deployment or testing portion with a great level of granularity.

Where We Stand:
We have successfully merged the KernelCI VM and the LAVA Server VM into a single Virtual Machine.[1] We have KernelCI creating builds of the CIP Kernel [2] and we have LAVA running health-check tests in qemu. We are very close to having the health-check running on the Beaglebone Black, but we've had some trouble getting it communicating properly.

We expect to release the platform as a Beta version for the Embedded Linux Conference. The two original tutorials have been merged into one and can be found on the CIP Wiki.[3]
