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
There's more information on the steps required at: https://wiki.linaro.org/MichaelHope/Sandbox/KVMUseCase
