Embedded Test & Automation Tool
Welcome to *tbot*! *tbot* automates the development workflow for embedded
systems software. This automation can then also be used for running tests
against real hardware, even in CI.
At its core, tbot is a library for interacting with remote hosts over various
connections. For example, a target board can be accessed via serial console.
Or a TFTP-server via SSH. tbot allows managing all these connections in
"parallel". This means, you can orchestrate complex sequences of interaction
between them.
At the moment, the main focus of tbot lies in embedded Linux systems. Support
for other systems is definitely intended to be added, too.
Most info about *tbot* can be found in its documentation at
. You can also join our mailing list,
[tbot AT lists.denx.de](https://lists.denx.de/listinfo/tbot).

## Installation
```bash
pip3 install --user -U git+https://github.com/rahix/[email protected]
```
If you haven't done it already, you need to add ``~/.local/bin`` to your ``$PATH``.
### Completions
*tbot* supports command line completions. Install them with the following commands:
```bash
curl --create-dirs -L -o ~/.local/lib/tbot/completions.sh https://github.com/Rahix/tbot/raw/master/completions.sh
echo "source ~/.local/lib/tbot/completions.sh" >>~/.bashrc
```
## Usecase Examples
To show what tbot can help you with, here are a few simple example usecases:
#### Boot into Linux and run a few commands over serial console
```python
@tbot.testcase
def test_linux_simple():
# request serial connection to Linux on the board
with tbot.ctx.request(tbot.role.BoardLinux) as lnx:
# now we can run commands
lnx.exec0("uname", "-a")
# or, for example, read a file from the target
cmdline = (lnx.fsroot / "proc" / "cmdline").read_text()
```
#### Define custom bootloader commands to boot Linux
```python
class CustomBoardLinux(board.LinuxUbootConnector, board.LinuxBootLogin, linux.Bash):
username = "root"
password = None
def do_boot(self, uboot):
# set `autoload` env-var to false to prevent automatic DHCP-boot
uboot.env("autoload", "false")
# get an IP-address
uboot.exec0("dhcp")
# download kernel + initramfs from TFTP server
loadaddr = 0x82000000
uboot.exec0("tftp", hex(loadaddr), f"{tftp_ip}:{kernel_image_path}")
# and boot it!
return uboot.boot("bootm", hex(loadaddr))
```
#### Network speed test between a board and server
```python
@tbot.testcase
def test_ethernet_speed():
with tbot.ctx() as cx:
# boot into Linux on the board and acquire a shell-session
lnx = cx.request(tbot.role.BoardLinux)
# use ssh to connect to a network server to test against
lh = cx.request(tbot.role.LabHost)
# start iperf server
with lh.run("iperf", "-s") as iperf_server:
# and display its output while waiting for startup
iperf_server.read_until_timeout(2)
# now run iperf client on DUT
tx_report = lnx.exec0("iperf", "-c", server_ip)
# exit the server with CTRL-C
tbot.log.message("Server Output:")
iperf_server.sendcontrol("C")
iperf_server.terminate0()
```
