The process of creating a master image is outlined on +https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Validation/Specs/MasterBootImage. + +The master image is a stable, default image the system can boot into for deployment and recovery. It's a simple modification of an existing stable image, and does not take long to create. Once you've created one for your board, you may want to consider making a dd image of it for future use. We do not provide dd images for this already. Due to differences in size of SD cards, it's likely that doing so would either waste a lot of space if you have a larger card, or be competely useless if you have a smaller sd card. + +Setup the image and test partitions +----------------------------------- + +* Start with a stable Linaro image from the current, or previous cycle. For instance, the nano, or headless images make a good starting place. Using linaro-media-create, create an sdcard with this image, and the hardware pack for your board. (minimum 8GB sd card is recommended, but 4GB can work also). +* Using parted (or gparted, etc), shrink the root partition so that only 1-1.5GB or so is used (Make sure to leave at least 2G free on the card). +* Create an additional primary partition (should normally be partition 3), of about 70MB. Format it as vfat and give it the label testboot. +* Create partition 4 as an Extended partition, using the remainder of the space on the card. +* Create partition 5 (logical partition) using 2GB. Format it as ext3, and give it the label testrootfs +* Finally, create one more logical partition using the remainder of the space. It should be vfat formatted, and have the label sdcard (NB: This is only needed if you want to test android images. If you don't wish to test android, this can be skipped) + +Prepare the master image +------------------------ + +* Boot the image created above on your test board, and attach to the serial console +* Ensure that networking is set up so that the default network interface is automatically started. Generally you will want to use dhcp for this. For example, if your network interface is eth0, make sure that /etc/network/interfaces contains something like this:: + + auto usb0 + iface usb0 inet dhcp + +* Edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts to change the hostname to "master". This will allow easy detection of which image we are booted into. +* Install the following packages: + * wget + * dosfstools +* If you want to test your own build kernel by a deb package(see following example job file for detail), you need to add linaro-media-tools support in master image:: + + # apt-get install bzr python-distutils-extra python-testtools python-parted command-not-found python-yaml python-beautifulsoup python-wxgtk2.6 + # bzr branch lp:linaro-media-tools + # cd linaro-media-tools + # ./setup.py install + +Setting up serial access +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +To talk to the target test systems, the dispatcher uses a tool called conmux. If you are running Ubuntu 11.04 or later, conmux is in the archives and can be easily installed [TODO: point to ppa for conmux installation -lt 11.04]. + +Configuring cu and conmux +------------------------- + +For LAVA development and testing using only locally attached resources, +you should be able to make use of most features, even without the use of +special equipment such as a console server. + +First install conmux and cu:: + + sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linaro-maintainers/tools + sudo apt-get update + sudo apt-get install conmux cu + +Configuring cu +-------------- + +You should be able to type commands and interact with the shell inside +conmux-console. If you cannot, run "sudo stop conmux" and try running +'sg dialout "cu -l ttyUSB0 -s 115200"'. If that doesn't work, you +probably need to add some files to /etc/uucp. Add :: + + port ttyUSB0 + type direct + device /dev/ttyUSB0 + hardflow false + speed 115200 + +to /etc/uucp/port and append :: + + system panda01 + port ttyUSB0 + time any + +to /etc/uucp/sys. + +Configuring conmux +------------------ + +Connect a development board to a local serial device (e.g. ttyUSB0). You may have permission problem with cu running as root under conmux. + +Configuration files for conmux are stored under /etc/conmux. It can be configured for either local connections (via serial or usb), or remote configurations such as console servers. Configurations for each board you wish to connect to should be stored in it's own .cf file under /etc/conmux. + +Create a configuration file for your board under /etc/conmux which +should look something like this:: + + listener panda01 + application console 'panda01 console' 'cu -l /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 115200' + +Make sure to give the file a '.cf' extension (e.g. panda01.cf). + +If you see this permission problem when running cu, you can try +adjusting your .cf file to call cu using sg, and the group name owning +the device.
