Re: [dts] Clarifications on setting up DUT

["Liu, Yong" <yong.liu@intel.com>]

Hi Ravi,
Your patch has been applied in DTS. Thanks a lot.

And we just sent out one patch set which support manually configure DUT ports.
We have done some basic tests on it and I think it can be helpful on your first question.

We have planned to support DUT and Tester use the same platform soon. This will further reduce the requirements of running DTS.

Again, thanks for your inputJ

Hi Ravi,
DTS can support i218 and i218 chipsets by add codename in setting.py and restore function in crb.py.

For question 1, you can get system requirements from DTS getting started guide. Just enter folder doc/dts_gsg and then "make html" will generate it.
Now ssh session is the only way for DTS to communicate with DUT and Tester. Restore interface function will re-insmod all nic in configuration file.
We will support specified nic in near future.

<rk> I have made changes and done some basic testing which includes "1" port only. Getting more than 2 ports is a bit taxing to me as I am an individual  contributor and wanted to find a way to test with what I had. I have made additional changes esp. handling cases to avoid error messages seen in "dts.log" . Do you want me to send a patch to you along with support added for I217 and i218?

For question 2, the garbage message show that DTS not strip color. Here is one quick fix for it.

diff --git a/framework/crb.py b/framework/crb.py
index aca62c1..e5224c8 100644
--- a/framework/crb.py
+++ b/framework/crb.py

         return self.send_expect(command, '# ')

<rk> I will apply this patch, test it and let you know.

     def get_interface_name_freebsd(self, bus_id, devfun_id):

For question 3, DTS not scan ports normally, so you can try after fix issue 2.

<rk> Issue here was more delay needed for I217 ports to acquire v6 addresses after link up. If you are ok I can send a patch for this.
Thanks,
Ravi
