Tinderbox/Modules

Tinderbox organizes measurements, fixture setup, and fixture teardown into groups called modules. Module source code is located at [1].

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.
