This page will go through the process of setting up an Ubuntu Linux machine as a runner for Mbed tests.

• Install basic packages:

$ sudo apt install cmake ninja-build build-essential git $ sudo apt install libusb-1.0-0-dev libudev-dev # dependencies for USB tests

• Clone mbed-os to ~/Mbed
• Clone mbed-ce-test-tools to ~/Mbed
• Do the toolchain setup and install any needed upload methods

Do the Linux USB setup page for each connected device.

Also add a new rules file specifically for the Mbed USB tests:

# Mbed OS USB Device test suite ATTRS{idVendor}=="0d28", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0007", MODE="660", GROUP="plugdev", TAG+="uaccess" ATTRS{idVendor}=="0d28", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0205", MODE="660", GROUP="plugdev", TAG+="uaccess" ATTRS{idVendor}=="0d28", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0206", MODE="660", GROUP="plugdev", TAG+="uaccess" ATTRS{idVendor}=="1f00" ATTRS{idProduct}=="2013", ENV{ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE}="1", MODE="660", GROUP="plugdev" ATTRS{idVendor}=="1f00" ATTRS{idProduct}=="2012", ENV{ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE}="1", MODE="660", GROUP="plugdev" 

Now we need to set up the machine as an echo server for the network tests. This is easy for the non-encrypted connections but gets a bit harder for the TLS tests...

First we need to set up this machine to act as a DNS server. This allows it to advertise itself as having a "domain name" that Mbed devices can access. It's also needed to make TLS certificates work.

$ sudo apt install bind9 dnsutils

Edit /etc/bind/named.conf.options:

First install inetd:

$ sudo apt install inetutils-inetd

Now edit /etc/inetd.conf to have the following INTERNAL block (near the top):

#:INTERNAL: Internal services discard stream tcp6 nowait root internal discard dgram udp6 wait root internal echo stream tcp6 nowait root internal echo dgram udp6 wait root internal chargen stream tcp6 nowait root internal chargen dgram udp6 wait root internal daytime stream tcp6 nowait root internal time stream tcp6 nowait root internal 

Then enable and start the service:

$ sudo systemctl enable --now inetutils-inetd.service

To test if it's working, you can send data to the echo port (port 7):

$ netcat -u localhost 7 

Any text you type should be echoed back to you.

$ sudo apt install python3-certbot
