Olpc-runin-tests
olpc-runin-tests is a collection of tests for the XO-1.5 and XO-1.75 that are run during late stages of laptop production.
(It might also be useful for in-field diagnostics. It is designed to test the hardware as well as the software installation, but is not designed to cover all software functions. The software testing is not intended to discover and report software failures, since these would unnecessarily interrupt production. Care should be taken not to use it for software testing without understanding the limitations.)
By default, the tests are run in a loop for several hours. If any test fails at any point, the system is shutdown.
Logs are written to /runin/logdir, which is later packed into a .tar.gz. fail.log is the single log which you can quickly check for success or failure; the file is empty on success.
Contents
One-off Test
To repeat the RUNIN tests on a shipped laptop, connect the AC adapter, charge the battery, log in, start Terminal, and type;
sudo touch /runin/{force,soiled}
sudo reboot
After the test run, look in /runin/logdir for the output.
If the file /runin/logdir/fail.log is present and contains text, then the test run failed. Further details might be gleaned from the other logs.
Repeating Tests
At the firmware ok prompt, set the TS manufacturing tag to RUNIN:
ok delete-tag TS ok add-tag TS RUNIN
Boot the system as normal, and instead of the normal boot routine, the runin tests will kick in.
When done, use the ok prompt to reset the TS tag to SHIP:
ok delete-tag TS ok add-tag TS SHIP
(Was broken in 12.1.0, see <trac>11952</trac>.)
Kernel Suspend and Resume Stability Testing
Runin is being used for testing stability of suspend and resume. See XO-1.75/Kernel/Runin.

The RPM packages are hardware-specific. This change happened when the package could not easily be made hardware-agnostic in the time available prior to manufacturing. The main cause of the hardware-specific coding is the lack of kernel support for thermal monitoring (<trac>11463</trac>) and the processor watchdog (<trac>11953</trac>) on XO-1.75. In the absence of that support, it was implemented using Open Firmware, with an Open Firmware binary inside the olpc-runin-tests RPM.
