Testflinger Device Connectors ####################
Device connectors scripts for provisioning and running tests on Testflinger devices
The following device connector types are currently supported, however most of them require a very specific environment in order to work properly. That's part of the reason why they are broken out into a separate project. Nothing here is really required to run testflinger, only to support these devices in our environment. Alternative device connectors could be written in order to support testing on other types of devices.
- cm3 - Raspberry PI CM3 with a sidecar device and tools to support putting it in otg mode to flash an image
- dragonboard - dragonboard with a stable image on usb and test images are flashed to a wiped sd with a dual boot process
- maas2 - Metal as a Service (MaaS) systems, which support additional features such as disk layouts. Images provisioned must be imported first!
- multi - multi-device connector used for provisioning jobs that span multiple devices at once
- muxpi - muxpi/sdwire provisioned devices that utilize a device that can write to an sd the boot it on the DUT
- netboot - minimal netboot initramfs process for a specific device that couldn't be provisioned with MaaS
- noprovision - devices which need to run tests, but can't be provisioned (yet)
- oemrecovery - anything (such as core fde images) that can't be provisioned but can run a set of commands to recover back to the initial state
- oemscript - uses a script that supports some oem images and allows injection of an iso to the recovery partition to install that image
Device connectors will exit with a value of ''46'' if something goes wrong during device recovery. This can be used as an indication that the device is unusable for some reason, and can't be recovere using automated recovery mechanisms. The system calling the device connector may want to take further action, such as alerting someone that it needs manual recovery, or to stop attempting to run tests on it until it's fixed.
