Even More Board Farm Goodness - An Update on the REST API for Automated Testing
Talkat Embedded Linux Conference @ Open Source Summit North America 2022 · on Thursday, 2022-06-23· at 12:00· Griffin Hall (Level 2), JW Marriott Austin, 110 E 2nd Street Austin, TX 78701·
summary
Shows a concrete, lab-independent REST API (HTTPS + JSON) implemented with curl/jq and CLI clients (TimeSys shell client and lab control) that can reserve devices, start/stop captures and return URLs for binary data. Adds an audio resource type and capture workflow tested end-to-end on Raspberry Pi playback with remote microphones, analyzed with alsabat and sox — demos pass. Also adds Jenkins pipeline integration for automated deploy/provision/test. Roadmap lists keyboard/mouse APIs and provisioning; working and worth watching for implementation details.
