I've added a new job called 'porter' which reserves the first tcpanda that comes free. This can be used to reproduce a bug or benchmark result against an existing binary build.
For example, say you want to see if a fault exists on recent trunk: * Go to http://ex.seabright.co.nz/helpers/buildlog/gcc-4.8 * See the last successful ARM build was gcc-4.8~svn185503 * Go to http://ex.seabright.co.nz/helpers/scheduler/spawn * Spawn a job called 'porter' into the a9-builder queue * Keep polling http://ex.seabright.co.nz/helpers/scheduler until a board shows as 'porter/ready' * Log into the board using ssh cbuild@board.v * Change to /scratch/cbuild/slave/slaves * rsync the binary across using rsync control:~/cbuild/build/gcc-4.8~svn185503/gcc-*cortexa9*xz . * Extract the binary and have at it
The board will drop back into the queue after 48 hours. You can release it early by doing a 'killall sleep'. Please do any work under /scratch/cbuild/slave/slaves as this is automatically deleted when the next job starts.
Zhenqiang, could you add this to the jobs page please?
