Yes, I also thought about this when writing the tests. The main motivation for writing the tests is that they allowed me to test the ATF package very quickly, by running 3 tests that are very focused on building just ATF+U-Boot: they don't build a toolchain, a kernel, etc. As such, such tests are much more usable for someone doing active development on the ATF package and who wants to verify that things continue to build properly. And since I had them written, I thought I would submit them as well :) Best regards, Thomas -- Thomas Petazzoni, CTO, Free Electrons Embedded Linux and Kernel engineering http://free-electrons.com
