We are planning to write some Perl scripts to automate our testing and
we will use the U-Boot shell via the serial interface.
This is appealing because, for example, we can put tests into lengthy repeat
loops and run them automatically to stress our board.
We will use some of our own custom commands that we added to the build for
the
FPGAs on our board but it seems to us very likely that this script based
testing
has probably been done before by many U-Boot users for the "common" commands
that are in the build.
I am aware of the Kermit scripts in the tools/scripts directory but they
perform only
a few commands.
I checked the mail archive at SourceForge but found nothing relevant, so I
am
raising this on the list myself.
Are there any existing scripts (Perl or any other language) for U-Boot
command line
testing and that are in the public domain already ?
Thanks,
Charles.

Why Perl? expect seems to be more appropriate for such a task.

Not yet.

It's hard to make a program foolproof because fools are so ingenious.
