Hi.
We'll see some beta deployments this week. I have not tried doing any KVM testing. What I can currently offer you is vexpress x4 or x1 (both A7+A15) that you can run lava-test's on. If you want we can also add a simple "run this shell" action for experiments. Note: keep in mind that it's not "ready" yet, it's not the same dispatcher code you can use on physical boards and it has some different properties. You may be interested in https://blueprints.launchpad.net/lava-core/+spec/dispatcher-transition-plan
Thanks ZK

Hi there. We'd like to run a Fast Model in the validation lab for KVM testing. Is there a blueprint for this? What's the status?
Paul and I discussed a rough plan a few months ago. It was along the lines of: * A x86 machine as the Fast Model host * An emulated vexpress-a15 as the KVM host * A vexpress-a15 as the KVM guest * LAVA treats the Fast Model as a board * Jobs are spawned into the LAVA scheduler * Once the KVM host is running, everything else is toolchain specific and done via shell scripts
The dispatcher would: * Grab the hwpack * Grab the nano rootfs * Build the rootfs with separate kernel, initrd, and dtb using linaro-media-create * Start the Fast Model with the boot wrapper, kernel, and rootfs * Use the console to run the test script
