Oh, sorry, tbot-denx requires latest tbot from the development branch.
I'll add this to the README.

This is intended, because the `Board` is lab-specific (it contains power and
console commands which are very lab specific ...). If you want a dual lab setup,
I'd suggest something along the lines of
class DenxMira(denx.Board):
name = "phymira"
lab_name = "pollux"
class YourMira(augsburg.Board):
name = "mira"
lab_name = "augsburg"
if tbot.selectable.LabHost.name == "pollux":
BOARD = DenxMira
elif tbot.selectable.LabHost.name = "augsburg":
BOARD = YourMira
else:
raise Exception("lab not supported")
I know this is not ideal and I already have some experimental changes to tbot
for a better system in the future. I will update tbot-denx and a planned
reference/example repo to reflect these changes once they are upstream ...
The config issue we can see here is very important to be solved right, which is
why I am hesitant to rush a solution that might need to be changed again in the
future. Although I will push a proposal to a new branch as soon as possible so
you can give feedback if it covers all cases you need ...
