Tinderbox/Modules

Tinderbox organizes measurements, fixture setup, and fixture teardown into groups called modules. Module source code is located in Tinderbox's jhbuild.modtypes python package.

Example modules include the jhbuild modules, and the "olpc" stub module.

Modules are further subdivided into phases.

Sugar-jhbuild modules have phases such as "start", "checkout", "build", "install".

The "olpc" module has phases including "start", "download", "nandwrite", "boot", "networking", "sugar", "activities", "performance", and "reboot".

A Tinderbox module is a python module such as "jhbuild.modtypes.olpc" (located in jhbuild/modtypes/olpc.py).

The phases are implemented as named functions inside Tinderbox python modules, e.g. the "olpc" module's "start" phase is the "do_start(...)" function in jhbuild.modtypes.olpc.
