How to test Pi builds and HW interaction #478

Open andrewdavidmackenzie opened 2 weeks ago

andrewdavidmackenzie commented 2 weeks ago

How could we test better the Pi builds?

somehow build and run tests on pi arch/hw - new unit / system testing?
detect we are running an a pi (cargo test) and run pi specific tests
get stdout as part of tests?
some UI checking on a display or virtual display?

How can we (automatically) check that HW interaction is working?

detect we are running an a pi (cargo test) and run pi specific tests
define a board config that connects an output to an input
then write some tests that drive the output and check the input?

Have some Pi boards (with or without the external board and connections) connected to the cloud and able to accept CI jobs as custom runners?

other ideas?
