The NetBSD testbed testbed

The following links lead to reports from automated builds and tests of NetBSD. The tests are not currently being run with any regularity.

• amd64-baremetal, automated network installs and tests of NetBSD-current/amd64 on a physical machine
• i386, now using NVMM acceleration
• i386-linuxhost, NetBSD-current/i386 cross-built and cross-tested on a Linux host, sometimes using KVM acceleration
• i386-laptop, NetBSD-current/i386 on a physical laptop
• i386-debug, NetBSD-current/i386 built with MKDEBUG=YES and (since October 2013) MKX11=YES.
• amd64, now using NVMM acceleration
• evbarm-earmv7hf
• evbarm-aarch64
• pmax
• hpcmips
• landisk
• vax, currently unable to run the ATF tests because of broken C++ exception handling suppport

These reports are generated using pre-release versions of the "bracket" test fixture, which are tested here before being put in production on the official NetBSD testbeds, babylon5.netbsd.org and lyta.netbsd.org. In other words, this could be considered a testbed for the testbed.

For most purposes, the Official Test Run Logs should be used in preference to these, but these results can sometimes be useful, for example if it is suspected that a test failure on the official testbed is not caused by an actual NetBSD bug but by some failure specific to that testbed instance.

Some differences between these tests and the official ones are:

• These tests are not run on a regular schedule.
• These reports may have new features that are not (yet) on the official testbed.
• These reports may have new bugs which will hopefully be caught here in time to not appear on the official testbed.
• There may be additional tests of non-default configurations that are not tested on the official testbeds.
• The i386 test results here cover a longer period of historical data, going back to December 2008.
• These tests may be hosted on a different version of NetBSD, or on Linux.
• These tests may be run using a different version of qemu or gxemul, or in the case of the "amd64-baremetal" tests, on physical hardare.
• These tests include experimental tests for architectures where the emulator and/or NetBSD is not fully working yet.
