What you will learn and contribute to
Buildroot is an open source tool to generate embedded Linux images that we use on a variety of our products.
On top of the upstream buildroot version, we have a large set of custom changes.
Every couple of months a new upstream buildroot release is available. It is the intention to keep our buildroot version as much in line with what is available upstream.
A big part of the work of such an upstep is the verification of all our platforms. Things that need to be verified include:
- Does the system still boot?
- Are there no unexpected traces during boot time?
- Do all the applications still start without issues?
- Is the system as fast as it was before?
- Is there no significant increase in memory consumption?
- …
Currently the verification is happening for a large part manually. This is a time consuming process as we need to collect a lot of data from the system with both a baseline software package and a software package with the new buildroot version.
The internship would consist of creating an automated test (Python) that can run on a variety of different setups which will load both the original and the new software packages, collect relevant boot logs, relevant files,... As a next step this can be extended to also add extra automations to the analysis of all the collect data. The more we can automate, the better!
