This tool aims to test U-Boot by executing U-Boot shell commands using
the
console interface. A single top-level script exists to execute or attach
to the U-Boot console, run the entire script of tests against it, and
summarize the results. Advantages of this approach are:
- Testing is performed in the same way a user or script would interact
with U-Boot; there can be no disconnect.
- There is no need to write or embed test-related code into U-Boot
itself.
It is asserted that writing test-related code in Python is simpler and
more flexible that writing it all in C.
- It is reasonably simple to interact with U-Boot in this way.
A few simple tests are provided as examples. Soon, we should convert as
many as possible of the other tests in test/* and test/cmd_ut.c too.
In the future, I hope to publish (out-of-tree) the hook scripts, relay
control utilities, and udev rules I will use for my own HW setup.
See README.md for more details!

Nice work!
I am working on another python approach, not only good for testing
u-boot, also works with linux, or other console based tests, see:
[1] tbot
https://github.com/hsdenx/tbot
That looks nice too.
Thanks! Users welcome ;-)
I assume the scope there is too large to aim at inclusion into the U-Boot
source tree, since it also
aims at Linux testing too?
Yes, tbot has a larger scope ... not only u-boot/linux, all what can
be tested with a console ... board states currently are u-boot and
linux yes, but I have no other task to test ... other states can be
hopefully easy added ... and one big benefit is, you do not need to
have the board in your hands ...
I hope to get more users/labs/boards which can be integrated
into some nightly build ... thats the reason why I add in patch comments
tbot results from time to time ...
bye,
Heiko
