Auto-testing: install all kernels that are defined

Our main script for testing armbian installation on hardware consist from a selection of boards that are defined in our NetBox. We are pulling a list from there, but also information where particular board is plugged to. This means we can power cycle a board in case of failure.

Logging and reporting

Since procedure runs in GitHub actions, we will store basic logs there, while data collection is done with composite Action:

In this script we define what to log from boards and how to store a chunk of data. This data is glued together in one JSON file that goes by the name of status. Current example of structure is:

Procedure

We ping the board and if its accessible, uninstall kernel that is present. Then proceed with installing kernel branches that are defined in board config. Currently branches are hard coded. After each change, board is rebooted and once its back on, it collects and store data.
