This commit adds the core of a new testing infrastructure that allows to perform runtime testing of Buildroot generated systems. This infrastructure uses the Python unittest logic as its foundation. This core infrastructure commit includes the following aspects: - A base test class, called BRTest, defined in support/testing/infra/basetest.py. This base test class inherited from the Python provided unittest.TestCase, and must be subclassed by all Buildroot test cases. Its main purpose is to provide the Python unittest setUp() and tearDown() methods. In our case, setUp() takes care of building the Buildroot system described in the test case, and instantiate the Emulator object in case runtime testing is needed. The tearDown() method simply cleans things up (stop the emulator, remove the output directory). - A Builder class, defined in support/testing/infra/builder.py, simply responsible for building the Buildroot system in each test case. - An Emulator class, defined in support/testing/infra/emulator.py, responsible for running the generated system under Qemu, allowing each test case to run arbitrary commands inside the emulated system. - A run-tests script, which is the entry point to start the tests. Even though I wrote the original version of this small infrastructure, a huge amount of rework and improvement has been done by Maxime Hadjinlian, and squashed into this patch. So many thanks to Maxime for cleaning up and improving my Python code! Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com> |

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC.
