decode-test-suite's Introduction

decode-test-suite

Test Suite configuration for the DECODE project as created by the Arduino Development Team. The goal of this set of tests is performing a benchmark of a series of ARM processors running the Devuan operating system and - by extension - the DECODE OS

Once the test suite has been installed, you can run the test suite as root by issuing the command:

phoronix-test-suite run local/decode-suite

This installation will take several hours on an embedded board. Leave it working and go out for dinner with friends or something.

instructions on installation of everything

install the dependencies for the Phoronix Test Suite: sudo apt-get install bzip2 sqlite3 curl php5-cli bc zip
install the Phoronix Test Suite in your environment
in order to perform the network loopback test, you need to overwrite the netcat coming by default with Devuan, run sudo apt-get install netcat-openbsd
download this repository and execute: chmod 777 test_suite_generator.sh ; to make the suite generator executable
connect the external HDD where all tests will be installed and executed at: mount /dev/sda1 /media/hdd/ext
(eventually you might have to create the mountpoint mkdir /media/hdd; mkdir /media/hdd/ext)
if it doesn't exist, create the folder for the tests: mkdir /media/hdd/ext/decode-tests
if it doesn't exist, create the folder for the board: mkdir /media/hdd/ext/decode-tests/<BOARD_NAME>
run the test generator: ./test_suite_generator.sh decode ; this will generate teh xml file "decode-suite-definition.xml"
make the installation script executable: chmod 777 install_test_suite.sh
install the test definition: ./install_test_suite.sh decode-suite-definition.xml <BOARD_NAME>
install the tests: phoronix-test-suite install decode-suite
patch the tests
