LABGRID-CLIENT(1)

NAME
labgrid-client - labgrid-client interface to control boards

SYNOPSIS

labgrid-client --help

labgrid-client -p <place> <command>

labgrid-client places|resources

DESCRIPTION

Labgrid is a scalable infrastructure and test architecture for embedded (linux) systems.

This is the client to control a boards status and interface with it on remote machines.

OPTIONS

-h, --help
    display command line help

-p PLACE, --place PLACE
    specify the place to operate on

-x, --crossbar-url
    the crossbar url of the coordinator, defaults to ws://127.0.0.1:20408/ws

-c CONFIG, --config CONFIG
    set the configuration file

-s STATE, --state STATE
    set an initial state before executing a command, requires a configuration file and strategy

-d, --debug
    enable debugging

-v, --verbose
    increase verbosity

-P PROXY, --proxy PROXY
    proxy connections over ssh

CONFIGURATION FILE

The configuration file follows the description in labgrid-device-config(1).

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

Various labgrid-client commands use the following environment variable:

  LG_PLACE

This variable can be used to specify a place without using the -p option, the -p option overrides it.

  LG_TOKEN

This variable can be used to specify a reservation for the wait command and for the + place expansion.

  LG_STATE

This variable can be used to specify a state which the device transitions into before executing a command. Requires a configuration file and a Strategy specified for the device.

  LG_ENV

This variable can be used to specify the configuration file to use without using the --config option, the --config option overrides it.

  LG_CROSSBAR

This variable can be used to set the default crossbar URL (instead of using the -x option).

  LG_CROSSBAR_REALM

This variable can be used to set the default crossbar realm to use instead of realm1.

  LG_PROXY

This variable can be used to specify a SSH proxy hostname which should be used to connect to the coordinator and any resources which are normally accessed directly.

  LG_HOSTNAME

Override the hostname used when accessing a resource. Typically only useful for CI pipelines where the hostname may not be consistent between pipeline stages.

  LG_USERNAME

Override the username used when accessing a resource. Typically only useful for CI pipelines where the username may not be consistent between pipeline stages.

MATCHES

Match patterns are used to assign a resource to a specific place. The format is: exporter/group/cls/name, exporter is the name of the exporting machine, group is a name defined within the exporter, cls is the class of the exported resource and name is its name. Wild cards in match patterns are explicitly allowed, * matches anything.

LABGRID-CLIENT COMMANDS

del-match match Delete one (or multiple) match pattern(s) from a place, see MATCHES

add-named-match match name Add one match pattern with a name to a place

acquire (lock) Acquire a place

tmc command Control a USB TMC device

write-image Write images onto block devices (USBSDMux, USB Sticks, …)

reserve filter Create a reservation

cancel-reservation token Cancel a pending reservation

wait token Wait for a reservation to be allocated

reservations List current reservations

ADDING NAMED RESOURCES

If a target contains multiple Resources of the same type, named matches need to be used to address the individual resources. In addition to the match taken by add-match, add-named-match also takes a name for the resource. The other client commands support the name as an optional parameter and will inform the user that a name is required if multiple resources are found, but no name is given.

EXAMPLES

To retrieve a list of places run:

$ labgrid-client places

To access a place, it needs to be acquired first, this can be done by running the acquire command and passing the placename as a -p parameter:

$ labgrid-client -p <placename> acquire

Open a console to the acquired place:

$ labgrid-client -p <placename> console

Add all resources with the group "example-group" to the place example-place:

$ labgrid-client -p example-place add-match */example-group/*/*
