On which boards did you test this feature?  Eventually ARM only?




It's been tested on a few ARM, sandbox, and at least one microblaze.

+    with u_boot_console.log.section('find_ram_base'):
+        response = u_boot_console.run_command('bdinfo')
+        for l in response.split('\n'):
+            if '-> start' in l:
+                ram_base = int(l.split('=')[1].strip(), 16)
+                break




Searching for "-> start" is probably not exactly portable.  For
example, on a PowerPC system the output of "bdi" might look like this:

=> bdi
memstart    = 0x00000000
memsize     = 0x04000000



...




[example is from a TQM5200S, U-Boot 2016.01-00223-gb57843e]




Good point. I think the best fix here is to modify all implementations
of
"bdinfo" to print the same information and in the same format as much
as
possible. Do you agree?



Yes - and the best way to do this is to use the same code for all
boards if possible.

BTW I can't apply this patch as the u_boot_utils.py file is missing.
Can you please rebase and resend?



Do you have "test/py: add various utility code" already applied? That
creates u_boot_utils.py. As mentioned in the original patch email, this
series depends on the series that contains that patch. You had replied
earlier that you had applied that series in u-boot-dm.


Ah yes, user error, sorry.

BTW re your question about """ for comments, please see PEP8 etc.:

http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#block-comments
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0257/


OK, I see the recommendation to use """ for docstrings. Can we also use "
rather than ' for regular string too please, to avoid mixing different quote
characters?

That's the style used for patman/buildman. I think it's actually good
to have them different. You will sometimes hit the case where you need
a quoted double quote, like print 'This is a "test" of things'.

There are counter-cases where ' needs to be escaped in the current scheme too, e.g.:

assert('Unknown command \'non_existent_cmd\' - try \'help\'' in response)

... although I haven't quantified which way around would lead to more escapes.

I'll just convert the docstrings for now. Since you've acked/reviewed everything I have sent so far, I'll build my patch on top of all those patches.
