Boruta

Overview

Boruta is part of SLAV stack. It is used to manage a device farm. Each device in farm is expected to be connected to a supervisor (MuxPi board) which runs Dryad - an agent communicating with Boruta server. Device Under Test with a supervisor running Dryad is called worker. To denote connected DUT, each worker has a set of capabilites.

Boruta performs following:

• maintains list of registered workers, each with capabilities of connected DUTs and current status.
• manages requests for DUT access with attention to:
  • priorities
  • time scheduling
  • requested capabilities (e.g. hardware interfaces)
• creates tunnel to acquired worker

All of the above information can be accessed via HTTP API.

Deployment

Docker

1. Prerequisites:
   • git
   • Make
   • Docker

2. Clone Boruta and go to that directory:

   $ git clone https://github.com/SamsungSLAV/boruta.git & cd boruta

3. Now just invoke make and enjoy your binaries in the bin directory:

   $ make

   Note

   Keep in mind that dockerized Boruta build downloads clean source from current master, rather than use from local sources.

Local

1. Prerequisites:
   • go (1.10+)

2. Go get it:

   $ go get github.com/SamsungSLAV/boruta

3. Go to repository directory:

   $ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/SamsungSLAV/boruta

4. Download dependencies:

   $ go get ./...

5. And finally build Boruta server and Dryad agent:

   $ go build -o boruta cmd/boruta/boruta.go
   $ GOARCH=arm GOARM=7 GOOS=linux go build -o dryad_armv7 cmd/dryad/dryad.go

Using Boruta

1. Run the server with -h flag:

   $ ./boruta -h

   to receive full list of parameters.

2. Start Boruta server substituting your addresses and ports:

   $ ./boruta -api-addr=127.0.0.1:8487 -rpc-addr=192.168.0.1:7175

3. Connect to your MuxPi and create directory for Dryad agent settings on the MuxPi:

   $ mkdir -p /etc/boruta/

4. Start Dryad agent on MuxPi. It should create dryad.conf file in the directory specifed earlier.

   Adjust the file with your deployment specifics such as:

   • Boruta server address
   • sdcard location (/dev/sda on MuxPi)
   • DUT capabilities
   • User groups.

   For the user to be able to connect to the DUT following groups should be added:

   groups = ["disk", "dialout", "stm", "uucp"]

5. Start Dryad agent with filled config. Worker should register in the Boruta.
6. Use your freshly configured worker!
