1 The files in this directory define a basic set of functionality for each
2 board. They are loaded by calling "load_generic_config", normally done
3 as part of the baseboard description for a given board.
5 This functionality is a partial replacement for the tool-specific
6 configuration previously found in the testsuite/config directory. Note
7 that no tool-specific actions are defined here; they still need to be
8 defined by the tool-specific config files. However, for tools that
9 simply wish to download and execute programs on a board, the
10 functionality here should be sufficient.
12 The functions that can be defined are:
14 ${board}_open
15 ${board}_close
16 ${board}_exec
17 ${board}_binary
18 ${board}_reboot
19 ${board}_download
20 ${board}_upload
21 ${board}_transmit
22 ${board}_send
23 ${board}_file
24 ${board}_spawn
25 ${board}_load
27 Normally these functions are invoked indirectly by the testcases when
28 they invoke the remote_xxx version of the function.
30 The ${board}_xxx functions will be called in preference to the default
31 versions (or the ones specified by the "connect" protocol in the board
32 description). However, the version defined by the "connect" protocol
33 are still accessible by calling remote_raw_xxx, which will ignore any
34 board-specific or generic versions of these functions.
