731669 - Figure out reboot issues on panda boards

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing :: General, defect)

Description

ctalbert is suspecting that it might be related to hardware issues of the non-ES boards.

This is one of our highest priorities to get these boards working properly in our current buildbot automation.

Well, I have tried this now on a panda board ES and I have exactly the same issue as we did with the non-ES panda.

Reboot merely shuts down the panda board. It doesn't actually come back up.

:(

Have you had a chance to ask in the pandaboard forums?

Did this get figured out as well?

On the image I built both "adb reboot" and the SUTAgent's rebt command work.

Additionally, the rack enclosure for the pandas has remote power-cycling, so I think this should be good to go.

I guess we can close this then? or not yet?

Sounds good.

I had trouble with this working reliably, even from adb while using Ted's image.  We should make sure we can do 20 in a row from each method.

I admittedly did not test it that thoroughly, I simply rebooted my board a few times with each method.

I did 20 reboots in a row via adb as well as SUT.

My problems with reboot were seen after abusing the panda with tests.  I suspect those are more related to SUT/ADB reliability and networking in general.
