Package: python-mbed-host-tests-doc (1.4.4-5)

module and utilities to flash, reset and test Mbed Enabled devices (docs)

The mbed-host-tests module and mbedhtrun and mbedflsh utilities are used during ARM Mbed Enabled device development for:

 * Driving test binary flashing
 * Device reset
 * Test execution

The default binary flashing method is one supported by mbed-enabled devices: a binary file is copied onto the mbed-enabled DUT's (Device Under Test) mounted drive (MSD). This procedure will automatically flash device with given binary file content.

The default DUT reset method is one supported by mbed-enabled devices: the serial port (CDC) "sendBreak" command resets the target MCU on mbed-enabled platform.

The test execution phase will consist of:

 * Opening connection between host computer and DUT
 * DUT will send to host preamble with test runner information such as:
   - test environment version
   - test timeout
   - preferred host test script (Python script which is used to
     supervise/instrument test execution)
 * Host will spawn host test script and test execution will be instrumented
 * Exchange data (in most cases text) between host and DUT
