Required presumit testing

We don’t have hardware-in-the-loop testing yet, so the following manual testing is needed before merging any change to this repo.

Checklist for new code

  • [ ] New binaries or tests?
    • [ ] Update //BUILD.bazel with updated deps on :refresh_compile_commands.
    • [ ] Update //.bazelrc presubmit section with the new binaries you want built in CQ after the line build:presubmit -- \
  • [ ] New protos?
    • [ ] Update //tools/airmaranth/device.py with the proto imports under get_all_protos().
    • [ ] Add the proto deps to :airmaranth_lib in //tools/BUILD.bazel
  • [ ] Run the regression suite (below) manually

Regression testing suite: manual testing steps

For now, assumes you have a full setup:

  • Pico RP2040
  • Enviro+ pack
  • OmniBus extender
  • Debug probe

Host simulator

Steps

  1. In terminal 1: Run simulator $ bazelisk run //apps/blinky:simulator_blinky

  2. In terminal 2:

    • Run console $ bazelisk run //apps/blinky:simulator_console
    • In the console, run: >>> device.rpcs.pw.rpc.EchoService.Echo(msg='hello')
Expected result

Return value shown in console is: (Status.OK, pw.rpc.EchoMessage(msg=’hello’))

On-device RP2040 apps

Flashing test
Steps

In a terminal (or in VSCode by “Run target”):

  • $ bazelisk run //apps/blinky:flash
  • $ bazelisk run //apps/blinky:rp2040_console
Expected result
  1. Successful build, flash, and console loads.
  2. RP2040 LED toggles @ 1Hz
  3. Log panel displays: RpcDevice BLINKY Toggling Led
RPC test
Steps

In the console, run: >>> device.rpcs.pw.rpc.EchoService.Echo(msg='hello')

Expected result

Return value shown in console is: (Status.OK, pw.rpc.EchoMessage(msg=’hello’))

Toggle blinky test
  1. Close any active consoles. Run $ bazelisk run //apps/blinky:rp2040_toggle_blinky. The Pico LED should stop blinking.
  2. Run $ bazelisk run //apps/blinky:rp2040_toggle_blinky again. The Pico LED should start blinking.

On-device RP2040 tests

Steps
  1. In terminal 1: Start test runner: $ bazelisk run \ @pigweed//targets/rp2040/py:unit_test_server \ -- --debug-probe-only
  2. In terminal 2: Run tests: $ bazelisk test --config=rp2040 //...
Expected result

Test runner successfully connects to the device. Tests run and pass.
