Last week in Raymond's dictionary thread, the topic of ARM came up, along with the relative lack of build slave coverage. Today Trent Nelson received the PandaBoard purchased by the PSF, and a Raspberry Pi should be coming shortly as well. http://blog.python.org/2012/12/pandaboard-raspberry-pi-coming-to.html Thanks to the PSF for purchasing and thanks to Trent for offering to host them in Snakebite!

That's good news. A related question about Snakebite, though. Maybe I missed something obvious, but is there an overview of how the core devs can use it? In particular, I'd want to know if Snakebite runs Python's tests regularly - and if it does, how can I see the status. How do I know if any commit of mine broke some host Snakebite has? How can I SSH to that host in order to reproduce and fix the problem? Some sort of a blog post about this, at least, would be very helpful for me and possibly other developers as well. Eli

Indeed, I'm going to carve out some time over the Christmas/NY break to work on this. There should really be a "Developer's Guide" that explains how to get the most out of the network. Trent.

Thanks, indeed a more permanent place would be nice. So from reading the above, am I correct in the understanding that these hosts don't actually run tests at the moment? They only do if we log into them to test stuff? I think it would be really nice if they could actually run as buildbot slaves and execute Python tests continuously. Eli

Almost all of them are running slaves, and have been since ~August. Take a look at our buildbot page -- any host with [SB] in the name is a Snakebite host. Trent.

No problemo'. If only all the other Snakebite servers could fit in my palm and run off 0.25A. (The HP-UX and Tru64 boxes in particular take up 7U/8U, weigh 160/140lbs, and chew about ~12A each.) I'll work on setting the ARM boards up next week. Trent.

Does anyone have a preference regarding the operating system? There are a bunch of choices listed here: http://www.omappedia.org/wiki/Main_Page As long as it can run a recent sshd and zsh, I have no preference. Trent.

Well, I'm biased of course, but Ubuntu should be easy to install and should run just fine AFAIK. I'm running 12.10 on my ARM buildbot (an iMX.53 board). -Barry

I'd vote for Fedora on at least one of them (like Barry, I'm biased, though) Cheers, Nick. -- Sent from my phone, thus the relative brevity :) On Dec 21, 2012 6:27 AM, "Barry Warsaw" wrote:

+1 for Ubuntu. I have setup a PandaBoard at home with Ubuntu and built/tested Python with it. The installation was very easy. -- # Meador

The installation of Ubuntu on the Pandaboard went smoothly. However, it crashes after about an hour. Console output: http://trent.snakebite.net/pandaboard-crash.txt Any ARM wizards out there with suggestions? Trent.

Forgot to mention, it's accessible via the p1 alias from the Snakebite menu. Until it crashes, anyway :-) If anyone wants root access to poke around, let me know. Trent.
