Description Cathy Shen 2015-10-11 13:41:54 UTC 
Controller should support kinds of image flash methods and communicate with DUT in different ways, e.g. ssh, BLE, iotivity, serial console, etc.
Comment 1 Costin 2015-10-12 13:11:19 UTC 
Hi Cathy,

Please provide more info on what "controller" means. 
For this: "support kinds of image flash methods" you refer to image deployment on DUT?
For the communication methods, that is clear.

Thank you,

Costin
Comment 2 Cathy Shen 2015-10-13 05:37:47 UTC 
Controller is referring to the classes defined in oeqa/targetcontrol.py. runner use it to flash image to DUT, communicate with DUT, etc.

changed back to new
Comment 4 Benjamin Esquivel 2016-07-12 20:16:56 UTC 
Moving this bug to Edwin and also targeting a single image flash method and single communication protocol for the re-do of the device automation. Looks not feasible for 2.2. Please let us know if you have a strong requirement on this one otherwise will be moved to future/2.3.
Comment 5 Leonardo Sandoval Gonzalez 2016-09-08 17:04:22 UTC 
This is a master bug and must be splitted. Edwin, please work with Anibal to do this.
Comment 6 Benjamin Esquivel 2016-11-04 18:39:46 UTC 
this is a feature required for having bug 10604 completed.
Comment 7 Leonardo Sandoval Gonzalez 2016-11-07 19:31:54 UTC 
Benjamin needs to validate the initial requirements and compare with current supported features.
Comment 8 Benjamin Esquivel 2016-11-08 19:47:16 UTC 
The flashing part is taken care by the AFT[1] and the communication methods are still going to be simply over ssh and obtain logging via the serial console.

This bug is obsoleted by work being done in bug 10604
Comment 9 Jose Perez C 2016-12-06 17:35:07 UTC 
Obsolete bug 

Work tracked on bug 10604
