Anyone heard of this?  I had not, until it was brought to my attention in a comment to the release announcement I sent to LWN.

 

From https://validation.linaro.org/ :

LAVA is an automated validation architecture primarily aimed at testing deployments of systems based around the Linux kernel on ARM devices, specifically ARMv7 and later.

Linaro Automated Validation Architecture (LAVA) is a continuous integration system for deploying operating systems onto physical and virtual hardware for running tests.

 

LAVA is also used to managed and share boards among teams.

Use cases

LAVA can be used for a large diversity of tests.

 

Tests can be simple boot testing, bootloader testing and system level testing, although extra hardware may be required for some system tests. Results are tracked over time and data can be exported for further analysis.

 

LAVA is used in large testing systems like Linux Kernel Functional Testing or KernelCI.

As of 2013, LAVA is available as a comprehensive set of packages within Debian.

Anyway, plenty info in the Internet about it.

 

I had a couple questions / thoughts:

 

  1. Any of you heard about / familiar with this?
  2. Is this suitable for our use-case?

I looked into it a while back mostly linaro cares about those who pay member fees

 

I looked daunting to deploy but yeah someone should take another look.
