Description

Test the apertis-update-manager automatic updates over the air.

Resources

  • The DUT u-boot environment must be clean: in u-boot, run: `env default -a` followed by `saveenv`
  • A PC must be connected to DUT serial port
  • The DUT must be connected to network

Pre Conditions

  1. This test requires a properly configured time source: when testing devices not carrying a battery-backed real time clock in a network which prevents connections to NTP servers (and only in that case) manually ensure that the time on the device is set appropriately and that it is propagated to the hardware clock so it is stay set on the next reboot if the power is not plugged off.
    2. $ sudo timedatectl --adjust-system-clock set-time "2019-08-21 18:49:03"

Execution Steps

  1. Check the initial deployment
    2. $ sudo ostree admin status
  2. Prepare the copy of commit and deploy to allow the upgrade to the same version
  3. Command below shows you an initial commit ID, for instance
    4. $ export BOOTID=$(sudo ostree admin status | sed -n -e 's/^\* apertis \([0-9a-f]*\)\.[0-9]$/\1/p'); echo $BOOTID
  4. Get the Collection ID and ref
    5. $ export CID=$(sudo ostree refs -c | head -n 1 | tr -d '(),' | cut -f 1 -d ' '); echo COLLECTION_ID=$CID
    $ export REF=$(sudo ostree refs -c | head -n 1 | tr -d '(),' | cut -f 2 -d ' '); echo REF=$REF
  5. Create the commit with changed timestamp to allow upgrade with recent update file
    6. $ export NEWID=$(sudo ostree commit --orphan --tree=ref=$BOOTID --add-metadata-string=ostree.collection-binding=$CID --bind-ref=$REF --timestamp="1 year ago"); echo "New commit: $NEWID"
  6. Deploy the prepared commit
    7. $ sudo ostree admin upgrade --allow-downgrade --deploy-only --override-commit=$NEWID --reboot
  7. Wait until the system is booted again and check the deployment
    8. $ sudo ostree admin status
  8. The booted commit (started with '*') must have ID which we prepare and the initial commit ID should be marked as '(rollback)'
  9. Remove the initial deployment
    10. $ sudo ostree admin undeploy 1
  10. Check the current deployment
    11. $ sudo ostree admin status
  11. Enable automatic OTA updates in configuration file '/etc/apertis-update-manager.ini'
    12. $ sudo sed -i -e "s/^UpdatesFromNetwork=.*/UpdatesFromNetwork=true/" /etc/apertis-update-manager.ini
  12. Configuration file '/etc/apertis-update-manager.ini' must have property 'UpdatesFromNetwork' set to true
    13. $ sudo grep UpdatesFromNetwork /etc/apertis-update-manager.ini
  13. Remove blacklist file if it exists
    14. $ sudo rm -f /var/aum_blacklist.conf
  14. Reboot the system
    15. $ sudo reboot
  15. Wait while the system booted successfully. Need to wait a short time (30-120 sec) depending on your network. The update must be downloaded and the system should be rebooted second time automatically. The current status of upgrade could be checked with journalctl log -- it should not contain error messages about the upgrade. The listing below is just for example:
    16. $ sudo journalctl -ef --unit apertis-update-manager
