Adding Wim to the chain. @wtay
Could you link us to scripts which should be checked / modified?
lgirdwood commentedon Mar 24, 2021
We have a lot of test scripts here https://github.com/thesofproject/sof-test/tree/master/test-case and IIIUC they all use the ALSA APIs (i.e. none use any PA APIs) so my expectation is that these should work (or require minimal configuration changes).
I think the largest task is probably to integrate the Jenkins based audio test infrastructure we have to additionally support RPM pagkages. Today, Debian based tooling is used to update kernels, modules and tooling on each DUT and we need to make sure we can support RPM here too on F34 and beyond.
@kv2019i @aiChaoSONG @marc-hb any further comments here ?

Agreed: 95% of sof-test should just work on Fedora (please report bugs and/or submit fixes) whereas the Debian packaging of the kernel and ALSA packages is obviously not going to work.
Custom ALSA packages are less often required on Fedora though :-) thesofproject/sof#2543

Installing dependencies is straightforward:
the rest is less clear:
why is this needed?
I thought we are now using journalctl? What is this dependency, is it still needed?

fantastic.

There are many commands in
sof-testthat needsudo, starting with inserting and removing modules.It's unfortunately not complete, see internal issue 477 and others.
#312 should help, it has been implemented on some tests but not others. Does every test "PASS" like this?
The good news is: these are not new issues and not specific to Fedora. The bad news is: all this is down to prioritization. When everything is urgent, nothing is.

@plbossart check this ongoing PR, it totally removes /var/log/kern.log, and use journalctl.
Edit: PR #639, @marc-hb thanks.
Unfortunately, only Ubuntu use this file

I guess @aiChaoSONG is referring to #639

PR #639 was separated to two other PRs #643, #649 that were merged. So sof-test is ready. The remaining work is remove usage of sudo group but to use audio group for all OSes. Close this issue.
