Automation beyond Testing and Embedded System Validation
summary
Compares LAVA-style integrated test stacks with a separated automation layer and presents labgrid, an implementation that integrates with pytest to perform ad-hoc scripting, factory flashing, git bisection and full-system CI including reboots. Describes control drivers for power switches, USB hubs, serial consoles and bootloader flashing, resource arbitration across targets, Jenkins integration for test result pages, and demonstrates running at scale (610 boards) in production while noting some low-level drivers and resource management features remain unfinished.
