Stabilizer HITL Testing

This directory contains tooling required for Stabilizer hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) testing.

There is a Stabilizer board connected at the Quartiq office that is accessible via a private HITL repository in order to provide secure hardware testing of the stabilizer application in a public repository.

Note: In order to ensure application security, all HITL runs must first be approved by a Quartiq representative before execution.

Configuration

• Stabilizer is configured with an ethernet connection to a router. The router runs a DHCP server for the local network, and ensures that the Stabilizer used for these tests is available under the hostname stabilizer-hitl.
• An MQTT broker is running at the hostname mqtt.

HITL Workflow

The private HITL repository does the following:

1. Check out this repository
2. Build firmware images using Cargo
3. Program stabilizer
4. Execute hitl/run.sh

In order to add new HITL tests, update run.sh to include the necessary tests.
