[U-Boot] DUTS: missing pieces for a beginner

[Niklaus Giger]

Hi

I would like to do some more extensive tests with the U-boot and took a look 
at http://www.denx.de/wiki/DUTS/DUTSDocs

I think that the wiki is somehow out of date as examples as the following
a) ./duts b should be rewritten to /duts -showconfig ?
Is this true?

b) ./duts  -showconfig v38b gives on my system the following output:
>Skipping testcase UBootDateHelp because of unfulfilled requirement 'rtc'
>Skipping testcase UBootDate because of unfulfilled requirement 'rtc'
>Skipping testcase UBootSleepRTC because of unfulfilled requirement 'rtc'
>Skipping testcase UBootCmdDttHelp because of unfulfilled requirement 'dtt'
>Skipping testcase UBootCmdDtt because of unfulfilled requirement 'dtt'
>Skipping testcase UBootI2cHelp because of unfulfilled requirement 'i2c'

>                descr "config/VL_host_context.tcl"

c) "./duts lt" should be rewritten as "./duts -tc ? v38b"
d) "./duts -d testsystems/ltp/ lt" shoud be rewritten to
"./duts -td testsystems/ltp -tc ? v38b"

I would volunteer to update the wiki if somebody can confirm that my 
observations are correct.

Even looking for an hour or so at the sources. I am unable to find an answer 
which files I should modify to run tests for my sequoia board.

My setup ist that 
$ /user/local/bin power 1 on
powers up the 5V input of my sequoia board and under /dev/ttyUSB3 I see the U-
Boot output after power on.

I would like to start with a  simple testcase and tried running
>This gives me the following output
>
>Testcases directory: ./testsystems/dulg
>Selected config: _default
>List of selected test cases:
>UBootBaseHelp
>
>
>
>#####################################
># running test case: UBootBaseHelp
>#####################################
>
>ERROR: couldn't spawn 'connect'?!

I would appreciate any hints. As the section "I"ntroducing suppport for a new 
VL " is just a little be too small for me. E.g. how can I add a new VL. Is 
there an example I just can copy and adjust it? Where do I specify the tty 
device for the sequoia?

Best regards
