ToDo list for tbot
==================
please look also into the tbot ToDo list.
https://github.com/hsdenx/tbot/blob/master/ToDo
- cleanup tbot code:
- remove all retry / timeout pieces of code
- clean up tbot function names, as I am not good in
giving function a understandable name ;-)
- as I am not a python programmer, cleanup whole tbot code
- introduce a "layering" like yocto do, so U-Boot TC can integrated
into U-Boot source code.
Proposal:
introduce subdirs in "src/tc"
lab: all lab specific stuff
lab/common: common lab stuff (for example ssh handling)
lab/ssh_std: ssh_std specific stuff
u-boot: all u-boot tests
u-boot/common: common u-boot tc
u-boot/duts: DUTS tc
u-boot-dxr2: all u-boot dxr2 board specific tc
board: board tc
board/common: common board tc
board/dxr2: all tc for dxr2 board
linux: all linux tc
linux/common: common linux tc
linux/dxr2
- move U-Boot special TC to U-Boot source
-> need a mechanism in tbot, how it gets automatically for example
U-Boot TC from U-Boot source...
-> add a consistency checker
- simplify tbot log output (seperate a lot of output which is currently
in INFO logging level, to another logging level)
started (new loglevel "CON", whih prints read/write from console only), see:
https://github.com/hsdenx/tbot/commit/b4ab2567ad8c19ad53f785203159d3c8465a21c6
- make the timestamp configurable
- Open more than 2 filehandles ?
Do we need for more complex TC more than 2 filehandles?
- Find a way to document all TC and document all variables they use in an
automated way.
- write a lot of more TC
- get U-Boot configuration settings from current U-Boot code and use
them in U-Boot TC-es
