HiKeyLAVA

HiKey - LAVA

The following items are required:

• HiKey - running UEFI firmware
• Micro USB Cable - for flashing the board
• UART Adapter - for interacting with the board
• Software Controllable Power Switch - for automatically power cycling the board
• Installed LAVA instance (2015.05+) - for automating software delivery and testing

Board Setup

1. Install UEFI
2. Flash the proper partition table for your use case, ptable-linux.img or ptable-android.img
3. Flash boot-fat.uefi.img.gz
4. Setup Fastboot
5. Delete all existing boot entries
6. Add boot entry for fastboot as described on the UEFI page
7. Confirm the newly created fastboot entry is the 1st option in the list
8. Launch this option and verify a fastboot device is detected on your LAVA host

LAVA Configuration

• Uniquely identify your fastboot usb id for HiKey

  1. fastboot devices -l
  2. ???????????? fastboot usb:3-12.4
  3. Record usb:3-12.4 or similar as you will need it later

• Create the device configuration

  1. Create a file /etc/lava-dispatcher/devices/hi6220-hikey01.conf
  2. fastboot_command is the shell command used to flash the board, use the usb id obtained from above
  3. connection_command is the shell command used to connect to the UART port
  4. hard_reset_command is the shell command to turn the board off and then on again
  5. power_off_cmd is the shell command to turn the board off
  6. Note that the as of 5/6/2015 the adb serial number is not unique, and will always be 0123456789

device_type = hi6220-hikey
fastboot_driver = hi6220_hikey
adb_command = adb -s 0123456789
fastboot_command = fastboot -s usb:3-12.4
connection_command = telnet serial-server 2002
hard_reset_command = /bin/pdu.sh OFF 4; sleep 10; /bin/pdu.sh ON 4
power_off_cmd = /bin/pdu.sh OFF 4

• Now you can add this device to the LAVA scheduler as documented here
