Automated program and test for production boards

Description

We need to set up some SD cards with the proper u-boot and such so that the production boards can be rapidly flashed and tested. I imagine most of the test is booting Linux with USB devices, a speaker, and a monitor plugged in. If we hear something, see something, and can use the mouse and keyboard - I'd say it works.

how this should happen:

  • Uboot flashes xloader to nand
  • Uboot flashes uboot to nand
  • Uboot saves the default environment variables
  • linux boots on ram disk
  • linux flashes the rootfs to nand
  • linux displays image on screen (just dump a raw file to /dev/fb0)
  • linux plays an audio tone

u-boot flash script has been tested. I also noted that it makes a very dangerous SD card to leave lying around because it erases all of your NAND flash.

Got something that works. Need more testing in the script, but this will be designed for the next release.

We almost got there, we have the flashing part down but now we actually need a way to test the system properly.

we have a flashing script that will boot the device and write everything. The biggest thing is going to be testing.
