Hi,

Are we talking about test automation using autobuilder here?
As far as I can see runtime testing of images using QEMU is
planned/already used.

What I'm after is runtime testing on real hardware. Assuming an
infrastructure where you can remotely turn on/off the power of the board
and where you have access e.g. via a conserver to the serial port I
guess this should be possible as well.

I'm wondering why this seems to be limited to QEMU, am I missing something?

Regards,

Robert
