LAVA on your desk BoF
summary
BoF focuses on running LAVA for a single-device developer to reproduce LKFT failures: use the LAVA dispatcher container (official image exists) or a native dispatcher, pair it with QEMU for fast test writing or a real board for debug, and control devices via serial plus power control and OTG power switching. Examples include BeagleBone/Raspberry Pi caps, Acme power-switch daughterboard, CBB assist mezzanine, YepKit and 12V PDUs (12–60W), and a 16-board rack concept; initramfs/no-storage test paths now work on main LAVA. XML-RPC API is available; REST is not yet.
