JAWS - return error when using tg commands on gui nodes

2008-01-16T17:26:59Z

it would be helpful, if nodes would return a meaningfull error message to the dsnserver, when a "tg" command is executed on nodes that are in gui mode instead of dsn mode.

testbeds - plot buildtime and codebase size

2007-09-25T20:25:39Z

we want to plot a histogram of the build times

also a histogram of the codebase size

nagios - need more explicit messages

2007-08-28T07:53:03Z

the current notifications are very limited:

***** Nagios *****

Notification Type: PROBLEM

Service: Cruisecontrol
Host: tik42x.ee.ethz.ch
Address: 129.132.67.132
State: CRITICAL

Date/Time: Tue Aug 28 08:11:26 CEST 2007

Additional Info:

maybe we can add more info

testbeds - add build id to cc artifacts filenames

2007-08-21T15:50:13Z

this would be very nice, especially for binary files.

testbeds - cc integration of upload to testbed and test

2007-08-16T16:27:23Z

a compiled harvester image should be uploaded to the testbed (DSN), executed and certain values should be reported on the cc web.

add and remove nodes from DSN GUI

2007-08-15T16:26:10Z

Currently one has to add/remove nodes in the database. Not possible from GUI. It would be nice, if one could have a user based node list, i.e. having only shown the nodes a user wants to work with.

DSNTargetLogger - continuously write of log files

2007-08-15T16:00:19Z

logs are written at the end of the test run, maybe it is a good idea to write them asap

DSNTargetLogger - improve script by using 'log id' command

2007-08-15T15:58:29Z

use 'log id' command to determine message log ID boundaries during test run

testbeds - cruisecontrol - t2 documentation

2007-08-15T12:26:57Z

the t2 documentation should be generated automatically and put on the web:

rst2html

pdf

validate html

btnut - Store FLASH image in XRAM

2007-08-15T10:31:57Z

xbank_retrieve_from_flash(u_long version):

to get the current flash imager from FLASH ROM and store it in XRAM for code distribution. This can be used to update a single node in the network via e.g. the bootloader and then spreading the image over the net (e.g. using the Chipcon CC1000. :)

Example implementation:

/**
* store current flash image in XRAM
* PRE: xbank_init()
* POST: current ROM image is XRAM but not activated
*/
void load_program_from_flash(u_long size, u_long version, char * name){
xbank_prog_info_t prog_info;
const u_char buffer_size = 128;
u_char buffer[buffer_size];
u_long address = 0;

// store ROM again
xbank_invalidate_program();
prog_info.type = REPROG_BTNODE_PROGRAM_DATA;
prog_info.size = 0L; // set later
prog_info.boot_addr = address; // unused
prog_info.version = version;
strcpy( &prog_info.name[0], name);
xbank_set_prog_info(&prog_info);
xbank_init_prog_write();

u_char u;
xbank_write_prog_record(address);
while (address < size) {
u_char bytes_to_store = buffer_size;
if (size - address < buffer_size) {
bytes_to_store = size - address;
}
for (u=0; u < bytes_to_store ; u++, address++) {
buffer[u] = pgm_read_byte_far( address );
}
xbank_write_prog_data( buffer, bytes_to_store);
}

xbank_write_prog_crc( (void*) 0);
xbank_set_prog_boot_addr( 0 );
xbank_update_prog_header();
}
