3.5. HDMI Test

  1. Check that Torizon Splash image is displayed on HDMI monitor when booting.

3.6. BlueTooth Test

1. TBD: setup bluetooth in Torizon OS

  1. Power on a Bluetooth device in the vicinity, validate that the target detects it:

    user@imx8mpnavq:/home/user# sudo hcitool scan Scanning ... 50:1A:A5:E5:34:8A JABRA BT2045 F0:F6:1C:67:F4:D4 iPhone yur
  2. Power on a BLE device in the vicinity, validate that the target detects it:

    user@imx8mpnavq:/home/user# sudo hcitool lescan LE Scan ... 14:BB:6E:2F:9B:07 (unknown) ^C

3.7. Empty eMMC Boot Time Test

  1. TBD: add support for booting Torizon OS from SD card (NAVQP-237)

  2. Make sure the system is booted from SD card.

  3. Remove partition table from eMMC:
    $ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk2 bs=8M count=100 conv=fdatasync

  4. Reboot and check boot time is about ~25 seconds
    $ sudo reboot

3.8. eMMC Installation and Booting Test

  1. Install images to eMMC as per Installing Torizon OS to i.MX 8MPlus NAVQ+ Target

  2. Repeat Ethernet, WiFi and HDMI tests while booting from eMMC.

3.9. USB2-only Power Test

  1. Disconnect all cables (except serial debug) to power off the board.

  2. Use Type-C to Type-C cable and plug it into NAVQ Plus USB2 Type-C (closer to center) and a Laptop with Type-C port.

  3. Validate that the NAVQ Plus boots to login prompt normally (no boot loop).

  4. Use Type-A to Type-C cable and plug it into NAVQ Plus USB2 Type-C (closer to center) and a Laptop/Desktop with Type-A port.

  5. Validate that the NAVQ Plus boots to login prompt normally (no boot loop).

3.10. USB1 Host Mode Test

  1. Plug-in a USB hub into USB1.

  2. Power Up device via USB2.

  3. Plug-in a USB device into the hub.

  4. Verify that the plugged-in device is enumerated (via dmesg).

3.11. USB1 Device Mode Test

  1. Disconnect the cable from USB1.

  2. Reboot the board

  3. Run usb-gadget-mtp1 service:

    user@imx8mpnavq:~$ sudo systemctl start usb-gadget-mtp@38100000.usb [sudo] password for user: user@imx8mpnavq:~$
  4. Connect the USB1 to a desktop host.

  5. Verify that the host recognized NAVQ Plus as an MTP (“NavqPlus” device is shown in the Windows Explorer).

3.12. USB2 Device Mode Test

  1. Power up device using USB1 port

  2. Run usb-gadget-mtp2 service:

    # Stop the Ethernet gadget on USB2, enabled by default in imx-image-desktop-ros image. user@imx8mpnavq:~$ sudo systemctl stop usb-gadget-eth@38200000.usb [sudo] password for user: ... user@imx8mpnavq:~$ sudo systemctl start usb-gadget-mtp@38200000.usb user@imx8mpnavq:~$
  3. Connect the USB2 to a desktop host/laptop.

  4. Verify that the host/laptop recognized NAVQ Plus as an MTP.

  5. Restore back USB Ethernet gadget on USB2 (or just do “sudo reboot” instead):

    user@imx8mpnavq:~$ sudo systemctl stop usb-gadget-mtp@38200000.usb [sudo] password for user: user@imx8mpnavq:~$ sudo systemctl start usb-gadget-eth@38200000.usb

3.13. RoyaleViewer/Qt Test
