-install tbot on your PC (linux only tested):
-============================================
-
-- get the source code:
-
-$ git clone https://github.com/hsdenx/tbot.git
-[...]
-$
-
- cd into the tbot directory.
-
-- you need the for running tbot the python paramiko module, see:
- http://www.paramiko.org/installing.html
-
- paramiko is used for handling ssh sessions, and open filedescriptors
- on a ssh connection. Tbot open a ssh connection to a "lab PC" and
- opens on that connection 2 filehandles, one for control functions
- and one for the connection to the boards console. May it is worth
- to think about to open more filehandles and use them in tbot, but
- thats a point in the Todo list ...
-
- See [1] for more infos about tbot principles.
-
-- prepare a directory for storing the logfiles
- and pass it with the commandline option "-l"
- to tbot. Default is the directory "log" in the tbot
- root (don;t forget to create it, if you want to use it)
-
-- If your VL is not yet in tbot source, integrate it
- (This task has only to be done once for your VL):
-
- A VL has, as described in [2] "necessary tasks for a Lab PC" explained,
- 3 tasks:
-
- a) power on/off the board
- b) get power state of the board
- c) connect to the boards console
-
- As tbot sends only shell commands (also to the Lab PC)
- this tasks must be executable through shell commands on your
- Lab PC:
-
- Task a) power on/off board:
- default TC for this task is:
- https://github.com/hsdenx/tbot/blob/master/src/tc/tc_lab_denx_power.py
-
- - now copy this file to for example
- cp src/tc/tc_lab_denx_power.py src/tc/tc_lab_denx_power_XXX.py
- (replace XXX to a proper value)
- and adapt the "remote_power" command from the denx lab to your needs.
-
- As this TC powers on the board for all your boards in your VL,
- you can differ between the boards through the tbot class
- variable "tb.boardlabpowername" (which is in the default case the
- same as "tb.boardname"), but you may need to name the power target
- with an other name than boardname, so you can configure this case.
- The power state "tb.power_state" which the TC has to set
- is "on" for power on, or "off" for power off.
-
- If switching on the power is successful, call "tb.end_tc(True)"
- else "tb.end_tc(False)"
-
- - set in your board config file:
- self.tc_lab_denx_power_tc = 'tc_lab_denx_power_XXX.py'
-
- Task b) power on/off board:
- default TC for this task is:
- https://github.com/hsdenx/tbot/blob/master/src/tc/tc_lab_denx_get_power_state.py
-
- - now copy this file to for example
- (replace XXX to a proper value)
- cp src/tc/tc_lab_denx_get_power_state.py src/tc/tc_lab_denx_get_power_state_XXX.py
- and adapt the commands to your needs.
-
- If the power of the board is on, call "tb.end_tc(True)"
- else "tb.end_tc(False)"
-
- - set in your board config file:
- self.tc_lab_denx_get_power_state_tc = 'tc_lab_denx_get_power_state_XXX.py'
-
- Task c) connect to the boards console:
- default TC for this task is:
- https://github.com/hsdenx/tbot/blob/master/src/tc/tc_lab_denx_connect_to_board.py
-
- - now copy this file to for example
- (replace XXX to a proper value)
- cp src/tc/tc_lab_denx_connect_to_board.py src/tc/tc_lab_denx_connect_to_board_XXX.py
- and adapt the commands to your needs.
-
- If connect fails end this TC with "tb.end_tc(False)"
- else call "tb.end_tc(True)"
-
- If you want to use kermit for connecting to the boards console, you
- can use:
-
- https://github.com/hsdenx/tbot/blob/master/src/tc/tc_workfd_connect_with_kermit.py
-
- Example for such a board in the VL from denx:
- self.tc_lab_denx_connect_to_board_tc = 'tc_workfd_connect_with_kermit.py'
- https://github.com/hsdenx/tbot/blob/master/tbot_dxr2.cfg#L24
-
- Hopefully this works for you too.
-
- - set in your board config file:
- self.tc_lab_denx_connect_to_board_tc = 'tc_lab_denx_connect_to_board_XXX.py'
-
- remarks while writting this:
- - Currently there is only the denx VL. Original idea was to include
- other VL through a seperate class/file in
- https://github.com/hsdenx/tbot/tree/master/src/lab_api
- but it turned out, that if we say "ssh" is the standard way to connect
- to a VL, we can integrate the VL specific tasks through testcases, see
- above, so we should do:
- - rename the "denx" API to a more general name.
- This is a point on my ToDo list ... done, renamed to 'ssh_std'
-
- - the VL specific configuration may moved from the board config files
- and should be collected in VL specific config files, which boards
- config file simple include.
-
-- prepare password.py file:
- This file contains all passwords tbot needs (for example for
- linux login on the boards)
- tbot searches this file in the tbot root directory.
- It is a simple python file, for example:
-
- # passwords for the lab
- if (board == 'lab'):
- if (user == 'hs'):
- password = 'passwordforuserhs'
- if (user == 'root'):
- password = 'passwordforrootuser'
- # passwords for the boards
- elif (board == 'mcx'):
- if (user == 'root'):
- password = 'passwordformcxrootfs'
- else:
- if (user == 'root'):
- password = ''
-
-- prepare board config file
- Each board which is found in the VL needs a tbot configuration file
- pass the config file name with the option '-c' to tbot, tbot searches
- in the root dir for them.
-
- board Example (dxr2 board):
- https://github.com/hsdenx/tbot/blob/master/tbot_dxr2.cfg
-
- Necessary variables:
-
- line 3: boardname, here it is the "etamin" board
- no default value, must be set.
- line 4: boardlabname: name used for connecting to the board
- may differ from tb.boardname, default tb.boardname
- line 5: boardlabpowername: name used for power on/off
- may differ from tb.boardname, default tb.boardname
- line 6: tftpboardname: name used for tftp subdir (from where
- U-Boot loads images for example).
- may differ from tb.boardname, default tb.boardname
- line 7: labprompt: linux prompt tbot sets
- no defaultvalue, must be set (maybe we should introduce
- "ttbott" as default ...
- line 8: debug: If True, adds debug output on the tbot shell
- line 9: debugstatus: enable status debug output on the shell
- line 10: ip: Where tbot finds the Lab PC
- line 11: user: As which user does tbot logs into the Lab PC
- line 12: accept_all: passed to paramiko, accept all connections
- line 13: keepalivetimout: passed to paramiko, timeout for sending
- keepalive message.
- line 14: channel_timeout: passed to paramiko
- line 15: loglevel: tbots loglevel for adding entries into the logfile.
- line 17: wdt_timeout: timeout in seconds for tbots watchdog.
- Watchdog gets triggered if prompt get read.
- line 24: tc_lab_denx_connect_to_board_tc: Which TC is used for
- connecting to the boards console the TC, here:
- https://github.com/hsdenx/tbot/blob/master/src/tc/tc_workfd_connect_with_kermit.py
- line 27: uboot_prompt: boards U-Boot prompt
- line 28: linux_prompt: boards linux prompt
-
- Now comes a list of variables TC needs, this vary from which TC
- you start on the board.
-
-Thats it ... you now can call tbot and hopefully, it works ;-)
-Find an example log [3] for calling simple U-Boot TC for setting
-an U-Boot Environmentvariable.
-
-If you have problems in setting tbot up, please contact me
-(and may give me ssh access to your Lab PC ;-)
-
-If you have running your first TC [3], you may want to write now your own
-TC (and hopefully share them), so continue with:
