Configuration
=============
This chapter describes the individual drivers and resources used in a device
configuration.
Drivers can depend on resources or other drivers, whereas resources
have no dependencies.
.. image:: res/config_graph.svg
:width: 50%
Here the resource `RawSerialPort`_ provides the information for the
`SerialDriver`_, which in turn is needed by the `ShellDriver`_.
Driver dependency resolution is done by searching for the driver which
implements the dependent protocol, all drivers implement one or more protocols.
Resources
---------
Serial Ports
~~~~~~~~~~~~
RawSerialPort
+++++++++++++
A :any:`RawSerialPort` is a serial port which is identified via the device path
on the local computer.
Take note that re-plugging USB serial converters can result in a different
enumeration order.
.. code-block:: yaml
RawSerialPort:
port: '/dev/ttyUSB0'
speed: 115200
The example would access the serial port ``/dev/ttyUSB0`` on the local computer
with a baud rate of ``115200``.
Arguments:
- port (str): path to the serial device
- speed (int, default=115200): desired baud rate
Used by:
- `SerialDriver`_
NetworkSerialPort
+++++++++++++++++
A :any:`NetworkSerialPort` describes a serial port which is exported over the
network, usually using `RFC2217 `_
or raw TCP.
.. code-block:: yaml
NetworkSerialPort:
host: 'remote.example.computer'
port: 53867
speed: 115200
The example would access the serial port on computer
``remote.example.computer`` via port ``53867`` and use a baud rate of
``115200`` with the RFC2217 protocol.
Arguments:
- host (str): hostname of the remote host
- port (str): TCP port on the remote host to connect to
- speed (int, default=115200): baud rate of the serial port

ModbusRTU
+++++++++
A :any:`ModbusRTU` resource is required to use the `ModbusRTUDriver`_.
`Modbus RTU `_ is a communication
protocol used to control many different kinds of electronic systems, such as
thermostats, power plants, etc.
Modbus is normally implemented on top of RS-485, though this is not strictly
necessary, as long as the Modbus network only has one master (and up to 256
slaves).
This resource only supports local usage and will not work with an exporter.
.. code-block:: yaml
ModbusRTU:
port: '/dev/ttyUSB0'
address: 16
speed: 115200
timeout: 0.25
Arguments:
- port (str): tty the instrument is connected to, e.g. ``/dev/ttyUSB0``
- address (int): slave address on the modbus, e.g. 16
- speed (int, default=115200): baud rate of the serial port
- timeout (float, default=0.25): timeout in seconds
Used by:
- `ModbusRTUDriver`_
USBSerialPort
+++++++++++++
A :any:`USBSerialPort` describes a serial port which is connected via USB and
is identified by matching udev properties.
This allows identification through hot-plugging or rebooting.
.. code-block:: yaml
USBSerialPort:
match:
ID_SERIAL_SHORT: 'P-00-00682'
ID_USB_INTERFACE_NUM: '00'
speed: 115200

Providers
~~~~~~~~~
Providers describe directories that are accessible by the target over a
specific protocol.
This is useful for software installation in the bootloader (via TFTP) or
downloading update artifacts under Linux (via HTTP).
They are used with the :any:`ManagedFile` helper, which ensures that the file
is available on the server. For HTTP and TFTP, a symlink from the internal
directory to the uploaded file is created.
The path for the target is generated by replacing the internal prefix with the
external prefix.
For NFS, it is assumed that ``/var/cache/labgrid`` is exported.
The information required for mounting and accessing staged files are returned,
see below.
For now, the TFTP/NFS/HTTP server needs to be configured before using it from
labgrid.
Because labgrid uses absolute paths as targets for symlinks for exposing files
on the TFTP server and because the target of those symlinks is in
``/var/cache/labgrid/``, the TFTP server needs to follow symlinks whose target
path is both absolute and in ``/var/cache/labgrid``. Note that depending on the
configuration of the TFTP server, ``/var/cache/labgrid`` may not be the root
directory of your TFTP server.
`atftpd `_ is known to work whereas
`tftpd-hpa `_ doesn't
seem to be working well with such symlinks.

DockerDaemon
~~~~~~~~~~~~
A :any:`DockerDaemon` describes where to contact a *docker daemon* process.
DockerDaemon also participates in managing `NetworkService`_ instances
created through interaction with that daemon.
.. code-block:: yaml
DockerDaemon:
docker_daemon_url: 'unix://var/run/docker.sock'
The example describes a docker daemon accessible via the
``/var/run/docker.sock`` unix socket. When used by a `DockerDriver`_, the
`DockerDriver`_ will first create a docker container which the
DockerDaemon resource will subsequently use to create one/more
`NetworkService`_ instances - as specified by `DockerDriver`_ configuration.
Each `NetworkService`_ instance corresponds to a network service running inside
the container.
Moreover, DockerDaemon will remove any hanging containers if
DockerDaemon is used several times in a row - as is the case when
executing test suites. Normally `DockerDriver`_ - when deactivated -
cleans up the created docker container; programming errors, keyboard
interrupts or unix kill signals may lead to hanging containers, however;
therefore auto-cleanup is important.
Arguments:
- docker_daemon_url (str): url of the daemon to use for this target
Used by:
- `DockerDriver`_
.. _udev-matching:
udev Matching
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
labgrid allows the exporter (or the client-side environment) to match resources
via udev rules.
Any udev property key and value can be used, path matching USB devices is
allowed as well.
The udev resources become available as soon as they are plugged into the
computer running the exporter.
The initial matching and monitoring for udev events is handled by the
:any:`UdevManager` class.
This manager is automatically created when a resource derived from
:any:`USBResource` (such as :any:`USBSerialPort`, :any:`IMXUSBLoader` or
:any:`AndroidUSBFastboot`) is instantiated.
To identify the kernel device which corresponds to a configured :any:`USBResource`,
each existing (and subsequently added) kernel device is matched against the
configured resources.
This is based on a list of *match entries* which must all be tested
successfully against the potential kernel device.
Match entries starting with an ``@`` are checked against the device's parents
instead of itself; here one matching parent causes the check to be successful.
A given :any:`USBResource` class has builtin match entries that are checked first,
for example that the ``SUBSYSTEM`` is ``tty`` as in the case of the
:any:`USBSerialPort`.
Only if these succeed, match entries provided by the user for the resource
instance are considered.
In addition to the properties reported by ``udevadm monitor --udev
--property``, elements of the ``ATTR(S){}`` dictionary (as shown by ``udevadm
info -a``) are useable as match keys.
Finally ``sys_name`` allows matching against the name of the directory in
sysfs.
All match entries must succeed for the device to be accepted.
Note that all udev property values are strings and are therefore case sensitive.
Hex values such as ``ID_MODEL_ID`` must match the exact case reported by udev
(e.g., ``"04d8"`` will not match ``"04D8"``).
labgrid provides a small utility called ``labgrid-suggest`` which will
output the proper YAML formatted snippets for you.
These snippets can be added under the resource key in an environment
configuration or under their own entries in an exporter configuration file.
As the USB bus number can change depending on the kernel driver initialization
order, it is better to use the ``ID_PATH`` instead of ``sys_name`` for USB
devices.
In the default udev configuration, ``ID_PATH`` is not available for all USB
devices, but that can be changed by creating a udev rules file:
.. code-block:: none
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", IMPORT{builtin}="path_id"
The following examples show how to use the udev matches for some common
use-cases.
Matching a USB Serial Converter on a Hub Port
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This will match any USB serial converter connected below the hub port 1.2.5.5
on bus 1.
The ``ID_PATH`` value corresponds to the hierarchy of buses and ports as shown
with ``udevadm info /dev/ttyUSB0``.
.. code-block:: yaml
USBSerialPort:
match:
'@ID_PATH': 'pci-0000:05:00.0-usb-0:1.2.5.5'
Note the ``@`` in the ``@ID_PATH`` match, which applies this match to the
device's parents instead of directly to itself.
This is necessary for the `USBSerialPort`_ because we actually want to find the
``ttyUSB?`` device below the USB serial converter device.
Matching an Android USB Fastboot Device
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In this case, we want to match the USB device on that port directly, so we
don't use a parent match.
.. code-block:: yaml
AndroidUSBFastboot:
match:
ID_PATH: 'pci-0000:05:00.0-usb-0:1.2.3'
Matching a Specific UART in a Dual-Port Adapter
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
On this board, the serial console is connected to the second port of an
on-board dual-port USB-UART.
The board itself is connected to the bus 3 and port path ``10.2.2.2``.
The correct value can be shown by running ``udevadm info /dev/ttyUSB9`` in our
case:
.. code-block:: bash
:emphasize-lines: 21
$ udevadm info /dev/ttyUSB9
P: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-10/3-10.2/3-10.2.2/3-10.2.2.2/3-10.2.2.2:1.1/ttyUSB9/tty/ttyUSB9

.. code-block:: yaml
USBSerialPort:
match:
'@ID_PATH': 'pci-0000:05:00.0-usb-2:10.2.2.2'
ID_USB_INTERFACE_NUM: '01'
Matching a USB UART by Serial Number
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Most of the USB serial converters in our lab have been programmed with unique
serial numbers.
This makes it easy to always match the same one even if the USB topology
changes or a board has been moved between host systems.
.. code-block:: yaml
USBSerialPort:
match:
ID_SERIAL_SHORT: 'P-00-03564'
To check if your device has a serial number, you can use ``udevadm info``:
.. code-block:: bash
$ udevadm info /dev/ttyUSB5 | grep SERIAL_SHORT
E: ID_SERIAL_SHORT=P-00-03564
In the background, the additional properties are provided by the builtin ``usb_id``
udev helper::
$ udevadm test-builtin usb_id /sys/class/tty/ttyUSB0

to interact with a login prompt and a Linux shell.
Binds to:
console:
- :any:`ConsoleProtocol`
Implements:
- :any:`CommandProtocol`
- :any:`FileTransferProtocol`
.. code-block:: yaml
ShellDriver:
prompt: 'root@[\w-]+:[^ ]+ '
login_prompt: ' login: '
username: 'root'
Arguments:
- prompt (regex): shell prompt to match after logging in
- login_prompt (regex): match for the login prompt
- username (str): username to use during login
- password (str): optional, password to use during login.
Can be an empty string.
- keyfile (str): optional, keyfile to upload after login, making the
`SSHDriver`_ usable
- login_timeout (int, default=60): timeout for login prompt detection in
seconds
- await_login_timeout (int, default=2): time in seconds of silence that needs
to pass before sending a newline to device.
- console_ready (regex): optional, pattern used by the kernel to inform
the user that a console can be activated by pressing enter.
- post_login_settle_time (int, default=0): seconds of silence after logging in
before check for a prompt. Useful when the console is interleaved with boot
output which may interrupt prompt detection.
.. note::
`bash >= 5.1 `_
enables bracketed-paste mode by default,
allowing the terminal emulator to tell a program whether input was typed or
pasted.
To achieve this, ``\e[?2004h`` is inserted when user input is expected,
enabling paste detection.
Add ``\x1b\[\?2004h`` at the beginning of the prompt argument to allow the
ShellDriver to still match the prompt in this case.

SmallUBootDriver
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A :any:`SmallUBootDriver` interfaces with stripped-down *U-Boot* variants that
are sometimes used in cheap consumer electronics.
SmallUBootDriver is meant as a driver for U-Boot with only little functionality
compared to a standard U-Boot.
Especially is copes with the following limitations:
- The U-Boot does not have a real password-prompt but can be activated by
entering a "secret" after a message was displayed.
- The command line does not have a built-in echo command.
Thus this driver uses "Unknown Command" messages as marker before and after
the output of a command.
- Since there is no echo we cannot return the exit code of the command.
Commands will always return 0 unless the command was not found.
This driver needs the following features activated in U-Boot to work:
- The U-Boot must not have a real password prompt. Instead it must be keyword
activated.
For example it should be activated by a dialog like the following:
- U-Boot: "Autobooting in 1s..."
- labgrid: "secret"
- U-Boot:
- The U-Boot must be able to parse multiple commands in a single line separated
by ";".
- The U-Boot must support the "bootm" command to boot from a memory location.

- delay (float, default=3.0): delay in seconds between off and on
- max_voltage (float): optional, maximum allowed voltage for protection against
accidental damage (in volts)
- max_current (float): optional, maximum allowed current for protection against
accidental damage (in ampere)
SigrokDmmDriver
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The :any:`SigrokDmmDriver` uses a `SigrokDevice`_ resource to record samples
from a *digital multimeter* (DMM) and provides them during test runs.
It is known to work with *Unit-T UT61B* and *UT61C* devices but should also
work with other DMMs supported by *Sigrok*.
Binds to:
sigrok:
- `SigrokUSBDevice`_
- `NetworkSigrokUSBDevice`_
- `SigrokUSBSerialDevice`_
- `NetworkSigrokUSBSerialDevice`_
Implements:
- None yet
Arguments:
- None
Sampling can be started calling ``capture(samples, timeout=None)``.
It sets up sampling and returns immediately.
The default timeout has been chosen to work with *Unit-T UT61B*.
Other devices may require a different timeout setting.
Samples can be obtained using ``stop()``.
``stop()`` will block until either *sigrok* terminates or *timeout* is reached.
This method returns a ``(unit, samples)`` tuple:
``unit`` is the physical unit reported by the DMM;
samples is an iterable of samples.
This driver relies on buffering of the subprocess call.
Reading a few samples will very likely work - but obtaining a lot of samples may stall.
USBSDMuxDriver
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The :any:`USBSDMuxDriver` uses a `USBSDMuxDevice`_ resource to control a
USB-SD-Mux device via `usbsdmux `_
tool.
Binds to:
mux:
- `USBSDMuxDevice`_
- `NetworkUSBSDMuxDevice`_
Implements:
- None yet
Arguments:
- None
The driver can be used in test cases by calling its ``set_mode()`` method with
argument being "dut", "host", "off", or "client".
LXAUSBMuxDriver
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The :any:`LXAUSBMuxDriver` uses an `LXAUSBMux`_ resource to control a USB-Mux
device via the `usbmuxctl `_
tool.
Binds to:
mux:
- `LXAUSBMux`_
- `NetworkLXAUSBMux`_
Implements:
- None yet
Arguments:
- None
The driver can be used in test cases by calling its ``set_links()`` method with
a list containing one or more of "dut-device", "host-dut" and "host-device".
Not all combinations can be configured at the same time.
USBSDWireDriver
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The :any:`USBSDWireDriver` uses a `USBSDWireDevice`_ resource to control a
USB-SD-Wire device via `sd-mux-ctrl `_
tool.
Binds to:
mux:
- `USBSDWireDevice`_
- `NetworkUSBSDWireDevice`_
Implements:
- None yet
Arguments:
- None
The driver can be used in test cases by calling its ``set_mode()`` method with
argument being "dut", "host", "off", or "client".
USBVideoDriver
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The :any:`USBVideoDriver` is used to show a video stream from a remote USB
video camera in a local window.
It uses the GStreamer command line utility ``gst-launch`` on both sides to
stream the video via an SSH connection to the exporter.
Binds to:
video:
- `USBVideo`_
- `NetworkUSBVideo`_
Implements:
- :any:`VideoProtocol`
Arguments:
- None
Although the driver can be used from Python code by calling the ``stream()``
method, it is currently mainly useful for the ``video`` subcommand of
``labgrid-client``.
It supports the *Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920* with the USB ID ``046d:082d`` and a
few others.
More cameras can be added to ``get_qualities()`` and ``get_pipeline()`` in
``labgrid/driver/usbvideodriver.py``.
Appropriate configuration parameters can be determined by using the GStreamer
``gst-device-monitor-1.0`` command line utility.
USBAudioInputDriver
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The :any:`USBAudioInputDriver` is used to receive an audio stream from a local
or remote USB audio input.
It uses the GStreamer command line utility ``gst-launch`` on the sender side to
stream the audio to the client.
For remote resources, this is done via an SSH connection to the exporter.
On the receiver, it either uses ``gst-launch`` for simple playback or
`gst-python `_ for more
complex cases (such as measuring the current volume level).
Binds to:
res:
- `USBAudioInput`_
- `NetworkUSBAudioInput`_
Implements:
- None yet
Arguments:
- None
USBTMCDriver
~~~~~~~~~~~~

protocol*.
Binds to:
tmc:
- `USBTMC`_
- `NetworkUSBTMC`_
Implements:
- None yet
Arguments:
- None
Currently, it can be used by the ``labgrid-client`` ``tmc`` subcommands to show
(and save) a screenshot, to show per channel measurements and to execute raw
TMC commands.
It only supports the *Keysight DSO-X 2000* series (with the USB ID ``0957:1798``),
but more devices can be added by extending ``on_activate()`` in
``labgrid/driver/usbtmcdriver.py`` and writing a corresponding backend in
``labgrid/driver/usbtmc/``.
FlashromDriver
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The :any:`FlashromDriver` is used to flash a ROM, using the flashrom utility.

flashrom_resource:
- `Flashrom`_
- `NetworkFlashrom`_
Implements:
- :any:`BootstrapProtocol`
Arguments:
- image (str): optional, key in :ref:`images ` containing the path
of an image to bootstrap onto the target
The FlashromDriver allows using the linux util "flashrom" to write directly to a ROM e.g. a NOR SPI
flash. The assumption is that the device flashing the DUT e.g. an exporter is wired to the Flash
to be flashed. The driver implements the bootstrap protocol.
The driver uses tool configuration section and the key: flashrom to determine the path of the
installed flashrom utility.
FlashScriptDriver
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The :any:`FlashScriptDriver` is used to run a custom script or program to flash
a device.
.. note::
This driver is only intended to be used as a last resort when it is
impossible or impractical to use a different driver.
.. code-block:: yaml
FlashScriptDriver:
script: 'foo'
args:
- '{device.devnode}'
.. code-block:: yaml
images:
foo: '../images/flash_device.sh'
Binds to:
device:
- `USBFlashableDevice`_
- `NetworkUSBFlashableDevice`_
Implements:
- None (yet)
Arguments:
- script (str): optional, key in :ref:`images `
containing the script to execute for writing of the flashable device
- args (list of str): optional, list of arguments for flash script execution
The FlashScriptDriver allows running arbitrary programs to flash a device.
Some SoC or devices may require custom, one-off, or proprietary programs to
flash.
A target image can be bundled with these programs using a tool like `makeself
`_,
which can then be executed by labgrid to flash the device using this driver.
Additional arguments may be passed with the ``args`` parameter.
These arguments will be expanded as `Python format strings
`_ with the
following keys:
HTTPVideoDriver
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The :any:`HTTPVideoDriver` is used to show a video stream over HTTP or HTTPS
from a remote IP video source in a local window.
Binds to:
video:
- `HTTPVideoStream`_
Implements:
- :any:`VideoProtocol`
Arguments:
- None
Although the driver can be used from Python code by calling the ``stream()``
method, it is currently mainly useful for the ``video`` subcommand of
``labgrid-client``.
========== =========================================================
Key Description
========== =========================================================
``device`` The :any:`Resource` bound to the driver
``file`` The :any:`ManagedFile` used to track the flashable script
========== =========================================================
Properties of these keys can be selected using the Python format string syntax,
e.g. ``{device.devnode}`` to select the device node path of a
:any:`USBFlashableDevice`.
DediprogFlashDriver
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The :any:`DediprogFlashDriver` is used to flash an SPI device using DediprogFlasher dpcmd.
.. code-block:: yaml
DediprogFlashDriver:
image: 'foo'
.. code-block:: yaml
images:
foo: '../images/image_to_load.raw'
Binds to:
flasher:
- `DediprogFlasher`_
- `NetworkDediprogFlasher`_
Implements:
- None (yet)
Arguments:
- image (str): optional, key in :ref:`images ` containing the path
of an image to flash onto the target
The DediprogFlashDriver allows using DediprogFlasher dpcmd to flash or erase SPI
devices. It is assumed that the device flashing is an exporter wired, via a
*Dediprog SF100 SPI NOR Flash Programmer* for instance, to the device being
flashed.
XenaDriver
~~~~~~~~~~
The :any:`XenaDriver` allows to use Xena networking test equipment.
Using the ``xenavalkyrie`` library a full API to control the tester is available.
Binds to:
xena_manager:
- `XenaManager`_
The driver is supposed to work with all Xena products from the "Valkyrie Layer 2-3 Test platform"
Currently tested on a *XenaCompact* chassis equipped with a *1 GE test module*.
DockerDriver
~~~~~~~~~~~~
A :any:`DockerDriver` binds to a `DockerDaemon`_ and is used to create and
control one docker container.

Arguments:
- image_uri (str): identifier of the docker image to use (may have a tag suffix)
- pull (str): pull policy, supports "always", "missing", "never". Default is
"always"
- always: Always pull the image and throw an error if the pull fails.
- missing: Pull the image only when the image is not in the local
containers storage. Throw an error if no image is found and the pull
fails.
- never: Never pull the image but use the one from the local containers
storage. Throw a ``docker.errors.ImageNotFound`` if no image is found.
- command (str): optional, command to run in the container (depends on image)
- volumes (list): optional, list to configure volumes mounted inside the container
- container_name (str): name of the container
- environment (list): optional, list of environment variables
- host_config (dict): dictionary of host configurations
- network_services (list): dictionaries that describe individual `NetworkService`_
instances that come alive when the container is created. The "address" argument
which `NetworkService`_ also requires will be derived automatically upon container
creation.
LXAIOBusPIODriver
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An :any:`LXAIOBusPIODriver` binds to a single `LXAIOBusPIO`_ to toggle and read
the PIO states.
Binds to:
pio:

HttpDigitalOutputDriver
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A :any:`HttpDigitalOutputDriver` binds to an `HttpDigitalOutput`_ to set and
get a digital output state via HTTP.
Binds to:
http:
- `HttpDigitalOutput`_
.. code-block:: yaml
HttpDigitalOutputDriver: {}
Implements:
- :any:`DigitalOutputProtocol`
Arguments:
- None
PyVISADriver
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The :any:`PyVISADriver` uses a `PyVISADevice`_ resource to control test
equipment manageable by PyVISA.
Binds to:
pyvisa_resource:
- `PyVISADevice`_
Implements:
- None yet
Arguments:
- None
NetworkInterfaceDriver
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The :any:`NetworkInterfaceDriver` allows controlling a network interface (such
as Ethernet or WiFi) on the exporter using NetworkManager.
The configuration is based on dictionaries with contents similar to NM's
connection files in INI-format.
Currently basic wired and wireless configuration options have been tested.
To use it, `PyGObject `_ must be installed
(on the same system as the network interface).
For Debian, the necessary packages are ``python3-gi`` and ``gir1.2-nm-1.0``.
It supports:
- static and DHCP address configuration
- WiFi client or AP
- connection sharing (DHCP server with NAT)
- listing DHCP leases (if the client has sufficient permissions)
Binds to:
iface:
- `NetworkInterface`_
- `RemoteNetworkInterface`_
- `USBNetworkInterface`_
Implements:
- None yet
Arguments:
- None
RawNetworkInterfaceDriver
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The :any:`RawNetworkInterfaceDriver` allows "raw" control of a network
interface (such as Ethernet or WiFi).
The labgrid-raw-interface helper (``helpers/labgrid-raw-interface``) needs to
be installed in the PATH and usable via sudo without password.
A configuration file ``/etc/labgrid/helpers.yaml`` must be installed on hosts
exporting network interfaces for the RawNetworkInterfaceDriver, e.g.:
.. code-block:: yaml
raw-interface:
denied-interfaces:
- 'eth1'
It supports:
- recording traffic
- replaying traffic
- basic statistic collection
For now, the RawNetworkInterfaceDriver leaves pre-configuration of the exported
network interface to the user, including:
- disabling DHCP
- disabling IPv6 Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) by SLAAC (Stateless
Address Autoconfiguration) and Neighbor Discovery
- disabling Generic Receive Offload (GRO)
This might change in the future. If you do not want the driver to automatically
manage the interface (e.g. you are managing it externally), set
``manage_interface`` to ``False``.
Binds to:
iface:
- `NetworkInterface`_
- `RemoteNetworkInterface`_
- `USBNetworkInterface`_
Implements:
- None yet
Arguments:
- manage_interface (bool, default=True): if ``True`` this driver will
setup/teardown the interface on activate/deactivate. Set this to ``False``
if you are managing the interface externally.
.. _conf-strategies:
Strategies
----------
Strategies are used to ensure that the device is in a certain state during a test.
Such a state could be the bootloader or a booted Linux kernel with shell.
.. _conf-bareboxstrategy:
BareboxStrategy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A :any:`BareboxStrategy` has four states:
- unknown
- off
- barebox
- shell
Here is an example environment config:
.. code-block:: yaml
:name: barebox-env.yaml
targets:
main:
resources:
RawSerialPort:
port: '/dev/ttyUSB0'
drivers:
ManualPowerDriver: {}
SerialDriver: {}
BareboxDriver: {}
ShellDriver:
prompt: 'root@[\w-]+:[^ ]+ '
login_prompt: ' login: '
username: 'root'
BareboxStrategy: {}
In order to use the BareboxStrategy via labgrid as a library and transition to
the "shell" state:
.. testsetup:: barebox-strategy
from labgrid.strategy import BareboxStrategy
BareboxStrategy.transition = Mock(return_value=None)
.. doctest:: barebox-strategy
>>> from labgrid import Environment
>>> e = Environment("barebox-env.yaml")
>>> t = e.get_target("main")
>>> s = t.get_driver("BareboxStrategy")
>>> s.transition("shell")
This command would transition from the bootloader into a Linux shell and
activate the `ShellDriver`_.
ShellStrategy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A :any:`ShellStrategy` has three states:
- unknown
- off
- shell
Here is an example environment config:
.. code-block:: yaml
:name: shell-env.yaml
targets:
main:
resources:
RawSerialPort:
port: '/dev/ttyUSB0'
drivers:
ManualPowerDriver: {}
SerialDriver: {}
ShellDriver:
prompt: 'root@[\w-]+:[^ ]+ '
login_prompt: ' login: '
username: 'root'
ShellStrategy: {}
In order to use the ShellStrategy via labgrid as a library and transition to
the "shell" state:
.. testsetup:: shell-strategy
from labgrid.strategy import ShellStrategy
ShellStrategy.transition = Mock(return_value=None)
.. doctest:: shell-strategy
>>> from labgrid import Environment
>>> e = Environment("shell-env.yaml")
>>> t = e.get_target("main")
>>> s = t.get_driver("ShellStrategy")
This command would transition directly into a Linux shell and
activate the `ShellDriver`_.
UBootStrategy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A :any:`UBootStrategy` has four states:
- unknown
- off
- uboot
- shell
Here is an example environment config:
.. code-block:: yaml
:name: uboot-env.yaml
targets:
main:
resources:
RawSerialPort:
port: '/dev/ttyUSB0'
drivers:
ManualPowerDriver: {}
SerialDriver: {}
UBootDriver: {}
ShellDriver:
prompt: 'root@[\w-]+:[^ ]+ '
login_prompt: ' login: '
username: 'root'
UBootStrategy: {}
In order to use the UBootStrategy via labgrid as a library and transition to
the "shell" state:
.. testsetup:: uboot-strategy
from labgrid.strategy import UBootStrategy
UBootStrategy.transition = Mock(return_value=None)
.. doctest:: uboot-strategy
>>> from labgrid import Environment
>>> e = Environment("uboot-env.yaml")
>>> t = e.get_target("main")
>>> s = t.get_driver("UBootStrategy")
>>> s.transition("shell")
This command would transition from the bootloader into a Linux shell and
activate the `ShellDriver`_.
DockerStrategy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A :any:`DockerStrategy` has three states:
- unknown
- gone
- accessible
Here is an example environment config:
.. code-block:: yaml
:name: docker-env.yaml
targets:
main:
resources:
DockerDaemon:
docker_daemon_url: 'unix://var/run/docker.sock'
drivers:
DockerDriver:
image_uri: 'rastasheep/ubuntu-sshd:16.04'
container_name: 'ubuntu-lg-example'
host_config: {'network_mode': 'bridge'}
network_services: [{'port': 22, 'username': 'root', 'password': 'root'}]
DockerStrategy: {}
In order to use the DockerStrategy via labgrid as a library and transition to
the "accessible" state:
.. testsetup:: docker-strategy
from labgrid.strategy import DockerStrategy
patch("docker.DockerClient").start()
DockerStrategy.transition = Mock(return_value=None)
.. doctest:: docker-strategy
>>> from labgrid import Environment
>>> e = Environment("docker-env.yaml")
>>> t = e.get_target("main")
>>> s = t.get_driver("DockerStrategy")
>>> s.transition("accessible")
These commands would activate the docker driver which creates and starts
a docker container. This will subsequently make `NetworkService`_ instance(s)
available which can be used for e.g. SSH access.
Reporters
---------
StepReporter
~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. warning::
The StepReporter is deprecated, use the `StepLogger`_ instead.
The :any:`StepReporter` outputs individual labgrid steps to ``STDOUT``.
.. doctest::
>>> from labgrid import StepReporter
>>> StepReporter.start()
The Reporter can be stopped with a call to the stop function:
.. doctest::
>>> from labgrid import StepReporter
>>> StepReporter.stop()
Stopping the StepReporter if it has not been started will raise an
AssertionError, as will starting an already started StepReporter.
ConsoleLoggingReporter
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The :any:`ConsoleLoggingReporter` outputs read calls from the console transports into
files. It takes the path as a parameter.
.. doctest::
>>> from labgrid import ConsoleLoggingReporter
>>> ConsoleLoggingReporter.start(".")
The Reporter can be stopped with a call to the stop function:
.. doctest::
>>> from labgrid import ConsoleLoggingReporter
>>> ConsoleLoggingReporter.stop()
Stopping the ConsoleLoggingReporter if it has not been started will raise an
AssertionError, as will starting an already started StepReporter.
Loggers
-------
StepLogger
~~~~~~~~~~
The :any:`StepLogger` logs individual labgrid steps.
Logging can be set up via ``labgrid.logging.basicConfig()``.
.. doctest::
>>> import logging
>>> from labgrid.logging import basicConfig, StepLogger
>>> basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
>>> StepLogger.start()
The logger can be stopped with a call to the stop function:
.. doctest::
>>> from labgrid.logging import StepLogger
>>> StepLogger.stop()
Stopping the StepLogger if it has not been started will raise an
AssertionError, as will starting an already started StepLogger.
.. _environment-configuration:
Environment Configuration
-------------------------
The environment configuration for a test environment consists of a YAML file
which contains targets, drivers and resources.
.. note::
The order is important here:
Objects are instantiated in the order they appear in the YAML file,
so if drivers depend on other drivers or resources which are only instantiated later,
loading the environment will fail.
The skeleton for an environment consists of:
.. code-block:: yaml
targets:
:
resources:
:
:
drivers:
:
: {} # no parameters for driver-2
features:
-
:
resources:
drivers:
options:
:
options:
:
features:
-
paths:
:
images:
:
tools:
:
imports:
-
-
If you have a single target in your environment, name it "main", as the
``get_target`` function defaults to "main".
All the resources and drivers in this chapter have a YAML example snippet which
can simply be added (at the correct indentation level, one level deeper) to the
environment configuration.
See the :ref:`labgrid-device-config` man page for documentation on the
top-level ``options``, ``images``, ``tools``, and ``imports`` keys in the
environment configuration.
.. _environment-configuration-feature-flags:
Feature Flags
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Similar targets or multi target environments may differ from each other in
certain small aspects, e.g. one device has a camera or screen connected, but
another one has not.
In labgrid's environment configs, such variations are described as feature flags.
Here's an example environment configuration for a target-scoped feature
``camera``:
.. code-block:: yaml
:name: feature-flag-env.yaml
targets:
main:
features:
- camera
resources: {}
drivers: {}
Features can not only be set per target, but also globally:
.. code-block:: yaml
:name: feature-flag-global-env.yaml
features:
- camera
targets:
main:
features:
- console
resources: {}
drivers: {}
See :ref:`usage_pytestplugin_mark_lg_feature` for how to make use of feature
flags in tests.
Multiple Drivers of the Same Type
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you want to use multiple drivers of the same type, the resources and drivers
need to be lists, e.g:
.. code-block:: yaml
resources:
RawSerialPort:
port: '/dev/ttyS1'
drivers:
SerialDriver: {}
becomes:
.. code-block:: yaml
resources:
- RawSerialPort:
port: '/dev/ttyS1'
- RawSerialPort:
port: '/dev/ttyS2'
drivers:
- SerialDriver: {}
- SerialDriver: {}
This configuration doesn't specify which `RawSerialPort`_ to use for each
`SerialDriver`_, so it will cause an exception when instantiating the
:any:`Target`.
To bind the correct driver to the correct resource, explicit ``name`` and
``bindings`` properties are used:
.. code-block:: yaml
resources:
- RawSerialPort:
name: 'foo'
port: '/dev/ttyS1'
- RawSerialPort:
name: 'bar'
port: '/dev/ttyS2'
drivers:
- SerialDriver:
name: 'foo_driver'
bindings:
port: 'foo'
- SerialDriver:
name: 'bar_driver'
bindings:
port: 'bar'
The property name for the binding (e.g. ``port`` in the example above) is
documented for each individual driver in this chapter.
Templating the Environment Configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The YAML configuration file also supports templating for some substitutions,
these are:
- ``LG_*`` variables, are replaced with their respective ``LG_*`` environment
variable
- ``BASE`` is substituted with the base directory of the YAML file.
As an example:
.. code-block:: yaml
targets:
main:
resources:
RemotePlace:
name: !template '$LG_PLACE'
tools:
qemu_bin: !template '$BASE/bin/qemu-bin'
would resolve the ``qemu_bin`` path relative to the ``BASE`` dir of the YAML
file and try to use the `RemotePlace`_ with the name set in the ``LG_PLACE``
environment variable.
.. _exporter-configuration:
Exporter Configuration
----------------------
The exporter is configured by using a YAML file (with a syntax similar to the
environment configs used for pytest) or by instantiating the :any:`Environment`
object.
To configure the exporter, you need to define one or more *resource groups*,
each containing one or more *resources*.
The syntax for exported resource names is ``///``,
which allows the exporter to group resources for various usage scenarios, e.g.
all resources of a specific place or for a specific test setup.
For information on how the exporter fits into the rest of labgrid, see
:any:`remote-resources-and-places`.
The ```` part can be specified on the :ref:`labgrid-exporter` command
line, and defaults to the hostname of the exporter.
The basic structure of an exporter configuration file is:
.. code-block:: yaml
:
:
:
:
:
By default, the class name is inferred from the resource name,
and ```` will be passed to its constructor.
For USB resources, you will most likely want to use :ref:`udev-matching` here.
As a simple example, here is one group called ``usb-hub-in-rack12`` containing
a single `USBSerialPort`_ resource (using udev matching), which will be
exported as ``exportername/usb-hub-in-rack12/NetworkSerialPort/USBSerialPort``:
.. code-block:: yaml
usb-hub-in-rack12:
USBSerialPort:
match:
'@ID_PATH': 'pci-0000:05:00.0-usb-3-1.3'
To export multiple resources of the same class in the same group,
you can choose a unique resource name, and then use the ``cls`` parameter to
specify the class name instead (which will not be passed as a parameter to the
class constructor).
In this next example we will export one `USBSerialPort`_ as
``exportername/usb-hub-in-rack12/NetworkSerialPort/console-main``,
and another `USBSerialPort`_ as
``exportername/usb-hub-in-rack12/NetworkSerialPort/console-secondary``:
.. code-block:: yaml
usb-hub-in-rack12:
console-main:
cls: 'USBSerialPort'
match:
'@ID_PATH': 'pci-0000:05:00.0-usb-3-1.3'
console-secondary:
cls: 'USBSerialPort'
match:
'@ID_PATH': 'pci-0000:05:00.0-usb-3-1.4'
Note that you could also split the resources up into distinct groups instead
to achieve the same effect:
.. code-block:: yaml
usb-hub-in-rack12-port3:
USBSerialPort:
match:
'@ID_PATH': 'pci-0000:05:00.0-usb-3-1.3'
usb-hub-in-rack12-port4:
USBSerialPort:
match:
'@ID_PATH': 'pci-0000:05:00.0-usb-3-1.4'
Templating the Exporter Configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To reduce the amount of repeated declarations when many similar resources
need to be exported, the `Jinja2 template engine `_
is used as a preprocessor for the configuration file:
.. code-block:: yaml
## Iterate from group 1001 to 1016
# for idx in range(1, 17)
{{ 1000 + idx }}:
NetworkSerialPort:
host: 'rl1'
port: {{ 4000 + idx }}
NetworkPowerPort:
# if 1 <= idx <= 8
model: 'apc'
host: 'apc1'
index: {{ idx }}
# elif 9 <= idx <= 12
model: 'netio'
host: 'netio4'
index: {{ idx - 8 }}
# elif 13 <= idx <= 16
model: 'netio'
host: 'netio5'
index: {{ idx - 12 }}
# endif
# endfor
Use ``#`` for line statements (like the for loops in the example) and ``##``
for line comments.
Statements like ``{{ 4000 + idx }}`` are expanded based on variables in the
Jinja2 template.
The template processing also supports use of OS environment variables, using
something like ``{{ env['FOOBAR'] }}`` to insert the content of environment
variable ``FOOBAR``.
In addition to ``env`` the template also has access to the following variables:
isolated
``True`` or ``False``, depending on the :code:`--isolated` command line option.
hostname
The hostname of the exporter host. Can be used to e.g. construct URLs to the
current host (``http://{{ hostname }}/``).
name
The name of the exporter.
