What is python-mbed-host-tests-doc
python-mbed-host-tests-doc is:
The mbed-host-tests module and mbedhtrun and mbedflsh utilities are used during ARM Mbed Enabled device development for:
- Driving test binary flashing
- Device reset
- Test execution
The default binary flashing method is one supported by mbed-enabled devices: a binary file is copied onto the mbed-enabled DUT’s (Device Under Test) mounted drive (MSD). This procedure will automatically flash device with given binary file content.
The default DUT reset method is one supported by mbed-enabled devices: the serial port (CDC) “sendBreak” command resets the target MCU on mbed-enabled platform.
The test execution phase will consist of:
- Opening connection between host computer and DUT
- DUT will send to host preamble with test runner information such as:
- test environment version
- test timeout
- preferred host test script (Python script which is used to supervise/instrument test execution)
- Host will spawn host test script and test execution will be instrumented
- Exchange data (in most cases text) between host and DUT
