Reference Hardware

These are the instructions to prepare a device for use as a DUT in the Apertis LAVA automated test laboratory. See Reference_Hardware/rpi4_setup for the recommended setup for developers’ devices. Power control It is possible to use 5V PSU which can provide at least 2.5A to power the RPi4. According the HAT design guide: it is possible to power the Pi by supplying 5V through the GPIO header pins 2,4 and GND. [Read More]

The recommended ARM 32-bit hardware is the i.MX6 Sabrelite. Please see its setup guide for first-time setup. The following optional extras may be of interest.

If you currently don’t have access to any supported hardware, the amd64 images can be run on a virtual machine.

This is the setup recommended for developers using the Sabrelite directly. See SABRE Lite LAVA setup for setting up devices for use in LAVA. Required items You should have at least: 1 SABRE Lite board 1 Power adaptor 1 USB to serial cable (RS232 line voltages) 1 SD card, with adapter if MicroSD card used. At least 4GB for fixedfunction image and 15GB for HMI image. SABRE Lite board setup Apertis provides its own build of U-Boot for the SABRE Lite that it expects to be flashed into the NOR Flash on SPI. [Read More]

These are the instructions to prepare a device for use as a DUT in the Apertis LAVA automated test laboratory. See Reference_Hardware/imx6q_sabrelite_setup for the recommended setup for developers’ devices. Setting up an imx6q-sabrelite device for LAVA When running the SABRE Lite as a DUT in LAVA, we install U-Boot in the SPI NOR Flash memory. This allows the software under test to be loaded as an image, including it’s own bootloader, on the SD card. [Read More]
