| Flashrom Testing |
| |
| Overall idea: |
| - Break tests into small chunks |
| - Have a single program that does generic setup and shutdown functions |
| - Executes specified tests in a simple loop |
| |
| Dependencies: |
| - uuencode |
| - diff |
| - A version of flashrom which is installed in $PATH. This is assumed to be a |
| "good" version of Flashrom and will be used to obtain a backup copy of the |
| ROM image at the beginning, and restore the image at the end. |
| |
| Important environment variables: |
| FLASHROM: Path to the Flashrom binary to test |
| FLASHROM_PARAM: Extra parameters to pass into flashrom, such as -p. Do *not* |
| specify chip operations such as read/write/erase/verify here, as they are |
| redundant with commands the script executes. |
| |
| Important global variables: |
| BACKUP: The backup copy of ROM image which is read before executing any tests, |
| and restored unconditionally after execution of tests. |
| |
| Syntax: |
| ENV_VARS="blah" ./do_tests.sh <test1> <test2> |
| |
| Example: |
| FLASHROM="../flashrom" FLASHROM_PARAM="-p internal:bus=spi" ./do_tests foo.sh bar.sh |
| |
| Each unit test might have its own special requirements, such as extra |
| environment variables, layout files, etc. Please read the comments at the top |
| of each unit test to ensure there are no special dependencies. |
