You can also restrict the user to release the device by selecting and deselecting the checkbox Allow Device Force Release. if the admin selects it then anyone can release this device forcefully if he deselected it then no one can release this device except the admin.

You can give your own hotplug names. The device could also be assigned a static IP address during Test job execution. To enable this feature check Do you want to assign Device static IP address during test execution? and enter Device’s Network interface as shown in the image below.

_images/AddDevicePageStaticIPSettings_3.png

Device type: A device type is a generic description of a device and identifies different qualities of that device.

In EBF, a particular DUT is an instance of a device type. For example, if beaglebone-black is a device type, then it can have many device instances like bbb01, bbb02, BBB, etc that share the same device type with the same set of commands. When adding a device, a device type needs to be added corresponding to the device to be added. The device type can be added only by the admin.

Device name: <Device name> .Choose a meaningful unique name
Device Description: Add a Short Description of the device.
Zombie: <Zombie Name:IP Address>
Device Port: DUT port that the device is plugged into on the zombie(1-4)
Power Switch Type: Power Switch type can be IP Controlled Power Switch or IO Controlled Switch.
Power Port: Power port that the device is plugged into on the power strip
Device Version: Add the device version of your device optional field.
Physical Owner: Choose Physical Owner from the drop-down menu optional field.
Number of Serial Consoles: Provide the number of serial consoles that are connected with the zombie set any value 1-8. The default is 1.
Allow Device Force Release. if the admin selects it then anyone can release this device forcefully if he deselected it then no one can release this device excepted admin.
Hotplug Label: You can give the name of hotplugs.
Netboot Type: Select the network boot type (PXE/UEFI) for your device to boot your device through Netboot
Console Sharing: select the option disabled from the Console Sharing drop-down menu to disable the console sharing for the device.

select the option enabled from the Console Sharing drop-down menu to enable the console sharing for the device.

Tags: Provide a tag name for this device. This tag helps EBF identify a particular device if there are multiple devices of the same type.
Groups Admin can assign a group to a device. So that the device is visible to all users in that group.
IOCX MUX Mode: If IOCX hardware is connected to this Device, you could configure its MUX module to either SDMux or USBMux mode for writing to the Device’s SDCard or USB storage respectively using this setting.

1 Go to Devices -> Edit Device

2 Select the device from the drop-down list.

3 Manage device page will appear on the screen.

4 Click on the Advanced options tag.

5 Select click here to view the Device dictionary.

6 The Device dictionary will appear on the screen.

7 The user can view and edit the Device dictionary of the device.The following are the fields in the device dictionary which are by default created while adding a new device.

{% extends 'beaglebone-black.jinja2' %}
{% set exclusive = 'True' %}
{% set hard_reset_command = 'curl  http://192.168.12.81/api/bbb09/power/reboot/' %}
{% set power_on_command = 'curl  http://192.168.12.81/api/bbb09/power/on/' %}
{% set power_off_command = 'curl  http://192.168.12.81/api/bbb09/power/off/' %}
{% set action_timeout_power_off = 15 %}

Must parameters in Device Dictionary are:

{% set connection_command = 'telnet localhost 3006' %}*
{% set mac_address = '50:54:30:14:34:52' %}*
{% set memory = '1024' %}*

Specifications:

%{background:yellow} set connection_command=’telnet localhost  <telnet PORT from 3003-3006> ‘%
%{background:yellow} set mac_address = ‘<Provide unique Mac Address>’%
%{background:yellow} Set memory =’<set memory> ’%

Other parameters for reference:

{% set bootloader_prompt = '=>' %}
{% set interrupt_prompt = 'Press SPACE to abort autoboot in 2 seconds' %}
{% set interrupt_char = ' ' %}
{% set console_device = 'ttyS0' %}
{% set boot_message = 'Starting kernel' %}
{% set shutdown_message = 'Restarting system' %}

Specifications:

Bootloader_prompt: It is set by default in the Device type of the device but if the prompt varies then user can set the bootloader prompt in device dictionary.

% set bootloader_prompt = '=>'%

Interrupt_prompt: If the device has interrupt prompt, then user can set interrupt prompt in device dictionary if required.

% set interrupt_prompt = 'Press SPACE to abort autoboot in 2 seconds'%

Interrupt_char: If the device requires to stop at the bootloader prompt then set interrupt char in the device dictionary.

% set interrupt_char = ' '%

Console_device: It is set by default in the Device Type of the device but if the prompt varies then the user can set console_device in the device dictionary.

% set console_device = 'ttyS0'%

Boot_message: This confirms that the booting process has passed the boot prompt and the board is available to take the next command from the framework. Following is one of the scenarios where it can be useful:

If the device requires a boot message at the time of login then the user can set boot_message in the device dictionary.

% set boot_message = 'Starting kernel'%

Shutdown_message: When the board reboots, log messages are generated. This variable contains a unique sub-string from the logs which confirms that system has rebooted.

% set shutdown_message = 'Restarting system'%

Device booting precedence¶

The boot parameters are selected for booting the device as per the order described below:

Device Dictionary
Device Type
base-uboot.jinja2
base.jinja2

Device Dictionary: The boot parameters provided in the device dictionary for booting the device are of the highest precedence. For example, if the bootloader prompt is defined in the Device dictionary, then the device tries to boot from the defined value of the bootloader prompt in the device dictionary.

{% set bootloader_prompt = '=>' %}

Device Type: If the bootloader prompt parameter provided in the device dictionary doesn’t boot the device or if the parameter is not defined in the device dictionary of the device then the value for the bootloader prompt mentioned in the device type of the device boots the device.

{% set bootloader_prompt = bootloader_prompt|default('U-Boot') %}

base-uboot.jinja2: If the device doesn’t boot from the defined value of bootloader prompt in device dictionary and device type then the device takes the value of bootloader prompt from base-uboot.jinja2 file and tries to boot the device.

bootloader_prompt: {{ bootloader_prompt|default('=>') }}

base.jinja2: The boot parameters defined in base.jinja2 are of the lowest precedence. If the device is not booted from the above three values, then device tries to boot from the value of the bootloader prompt provided in base.jinja2 file.

{% set base_menu_bootloader_prompt = 'Start:' -%}

% set baud_rate = baud_rate|default(115200)%

Bootloader Prompt: The user can set bootloader prompt when board first boots up. What prompt does device gets bootloader, that needs to be mentioned here. Example: In this case, “U-boot” is used as bootloader prompt.

% set bootloader_prompt = bootloader_prompt|default('U-Boot')%

Bootm kernel address, ramdisk address, dtb address: Set device kernel address, dtb address and ramdisk address. Here Kernel file address needs to be mentioned for the device. bootm_kernel_addr is used when the kernel image type is uImage. This can be checked from the artifacts of the device build.

% set bootm_kernel_addr = '0x82000000'%

Here dtb file address needs to be mentioned for the device. bootm_dtb_addr is used when the kernel image type is uImage. This can be checked from the artifacts of the device build.

% set bootm_ramdisk_addr = '0x81600000'%

% set bootz_ramdisk_addr = '0x83000000'%
% bootz_dtb_addr = '0x88000000'%

Uboot_mkimage_arch: The uboot_mkimage_arch value will need to be set according to the requirements of the device. Most ARMv7 devices will use arm as the architecture and most ARMv8 devices will use arm64, but this is not always the case. For example, the APM Mustang is an arm64 device but the U-Boot build on the Mustang pre-dates arm64 support in mainline U-Boot. It uses:

% set uboot_mkimage_arch = 'arm' %
