Board Farm APIs for Automated Testing of Embedded Linux - An Update
summary
Overview of a concrete lab API: a Django/LAVA-based server plus a shell and Python client that let tests use HTTPS/JSON with just curl and jq or the provided CLI. Adds a resource model and generic capture verbs (start/stop/get/delete) and new resources for power measurement, camera and serial (tokens, CSV data, video URLs via get_ref). Demos show runs locally, remotely and under LAVA/Fuego/Robot Framework; implementations are production EBF and an alpha lab-control, with recursive copy and HTTP debug traces.
