I just tested this and ubi on the aristainetos2 board and dfu on the
smartweb board seems fine.

As we talked on the U-Boot sumit about automated testsystems, I had
successfully setup my tbot [1] I talked, on my raspberry pi at my home.

I start it through buidlbot [2] also running on the raspberry. I use
buildbot, because it has fancy possibilities for triggering tests,
like nightly builds or if new git commits arrive in tree ...

Also it has a webinterface for presenting the results, see them for
my testdemonstration here [3] (maybe slow, because I have a slow internet
connection, and the raspberry pi is not the fastest machine ...).
There are 2 U-Boot tests:

ari_ubi:      ubi/ubifs tests on the aristainetos2 board
smartweb_dfu: dfu tests on the smartweb board

You can look into the logs and see, what is done in the tests,
currently very basic tests ...

I trigger the tests currently manually. The boards are in the denx vlab
in munich, while I am living in hungary ... So I tried in tbot to make
it easy to add new labs, which contains 1-n boards. So everybody who
has a board can add it, without the need to build up somewhere a big
testlab with all boards in it ...

bye,
Heiko
