In this week's LAVA team meeting, the LAVA team opens a beta program for new git service (integrated with an optional code-review system/Gerrit), shows you where to learn about multi-node, introduces the new concept of an Image Report Editor, demos a lightweight bootloader class for netbooting lava-test-shell and discusses the use of Jenkins + LAVA to verify LAVA.

Review the summary below and check it out on Youtube:  22 Aug 2013 LAVA Weekly Team Meeting OnAir Broadcast

Beta testing staging.git.l.o & staging.review.l.o by Milo Casagrande

• git-web, gitolite, gerrit working together

• How does a beta tester get started

Guide to multi-node documentation by Neil Williams

• What is Multi-node?  Where do I go to find out more about it?

• Multinode & the use of timeouts

  • http://people.linaro.org/~neil.williams/docs/

• Simultaneously driving many targets with a single dispatcher can create interesting system loads

  • LAVA before multi-node can run well on a minimal HW & VMs

  • Multi-node LAVA jobs can increase the load for LAVA dispatchers due to the high IO & high cpu utilization during the dispatcher-side image decompression (tgz/gunzip/...).

  • LAVA Administrators will need to carefully monitor and adjust resources as necessary.

Image Report Editor by Stevan Radakovic

• An abstraction layer to provide the ability to create and combine mulitple LAVA filters and produce customized/targeted Image Reports that help the test administrator share the results they want to with more flexibility and power.

• Where do I get more information (i.e. cards.l.o)

  • https://cards.linaro.org/browse/LAVA-634

Bootloader/lava-test-shell & LAVA Continuous Integration by Tyler Baker
