Hi,

I'm testing our eCos builds on various platforms to ensure the sanity of
the build. Does anyone have any advice about automating the tests that
come with ecos?

We're a linux shop and I'm currently using my own perl scripts to
download to an evaluation board, start execution and monitor output via
a serial port. When a case exits the results are logged and the next
srec is sent to the board & run, etc.

We added a definition for CYGHWR_TEST_PROGRAM_EXIT and made a change to
the macro CYG_TEST_CHECK to call CYG_TEST_EXIT rather than
cyg_test_exit() which doesn't exit in our world (because
CYGBLD_ATTRIB_NORET doesn't get defined). So far it's working OK.

Any advice, comments, pointers are welcome.

Cheers,
  Janet
