How is your lab currently setup?  Are you using LAVA? If not, can you
tell us a bit more about how your lab is setup?  What kind of hardware
you're testing?

If using LAVA, getting integrated into KernelCI is pretty straight
forward.

Some pre-requisites:

- boards can boot an upstream Linux kernel using an upstream defconfig,
  (minimum: boot to a serial-console shell using a ramdisk)
- LAVA device-types for your boards are submitted upstream to the LAVA
  project

>From there, with a basic LAVA setup/working, we just add your lab to our
list of labs[1] and then add your device-types in your lab to our list
of devices[2].

For kernelci.org to be able to submit jobs to your LAVA lab, you'll need
to create a `kernel-ci` user, setup an auth token and share that token
with us.  Any boards that the kernel-ci LAVA user has access to,
kernelci.org will have access to.

Hope that helps get you started,

Kevin
