RK3588 Mass Production Testing：Software and Hardware Reboot Testing of ArmSoM-W3

1. Introduction

Series Contents
Before mass production, the ArmSoM team will conduct several rounds of professional functional testing and performance stress testing on the products to ensure product quality and stability.
Excellent products require multiple comprehensive functional and performance stress tests to withstand market validation.

Test Principle: Perform 3000 software system reboots on the target board, and observe board operation, see if it can withstand 3000 continuously reboots.
Test Time: May 7, 2023 9:55AM - May 8, 2023 13:50PM
Test Tools: RK3588 - ArmSoM-W3 dev board, power supply, screen, HDMI cable, mouse
Test Steps:
1. Prepare 5 ArmSoM-W3 boards, and flash all with ArmSoM-W3-Box firmware.
2. Connect boards to serial port, and save serial port prints during reboot to log. Record actual number of board reboots. Check for anomalies during reboot.
3. Use specialized reboot test software, and set reboot count to 3000. Click start to begin test.
Test Results: There are 5 boards operated normally after 3000 times software reboots completed.

Test Principle: Perform 3000 power cycle reboots on target board, and observe board operation, then see if it can withstand 3000 continuously hardware reboots.
Test Time: May 8, 2023 17:52PM - May 10, 2023 9:02AM
Test Tools: Serial port, computer, RK3588 - ArmSoM-W3 dev board, two timers (set to automatically power off/on)
Test Software: MobaXterm to record log prints during test and save logs.
Test Steps:
1. Prepare 5 ArmSoM-W3 boards, connecting timers power supply, and connecting serial port to computer.
2. Open MobaXterm to record log prints.
3. Set board boot time to 25s and shutdown time to 10s.
4. Check logs print for actual number of board reboots , and check for anomalies during the power cycle.
Test Results: There is no anomalies detected in hardware reboot test after 3000 power cycle reboots completed and reboot counts differed by 1-2 due to margin of error.
