# hil-test Hardware-in-loop testing for `esp-hal`. For assistance with this package please [open an issue] or [start a discussion]. [open an issue]: https://github.com/esp-rs/esp-hal/issues/new [start a discussion]: https://github.com/esp-rs/esp-hal/discussions/new/choose ## Quickstart We use [embedded-test] as our testing framework, which relies on [defmt] internally. This allows us to write unit and integration tests much in the same way you would for a normal Rust project, when the standard library is available, and to execute them using Cargo's built-in test runner. [embedded-test]: https://github.com/probe-rs/embedded-test [defmt]: https://github.com/knurling-rs/defmt ### Running Tests Locally We use [probe-rs] for flashing and running the tests on a target device, however, this **MUST** be installed from the correct revision, and with the correct features enabled: ```text cargo install probe-rs \ --git=https://github.com/probe-rs/probe-rs \ --rev=ddd59fa \ --features=cli \ --bin=probe-rs ``` Target device **MUST** connected via its USB-Serial-JTAG port, or if unavailable (eg. ESP32, ESP32-C2, ESP32-S2) then you must connect a compatible debug probe such as an [ESP-Prog]. You can run all tests for a given device by running the following command from the `xtask` folder: ```shell cargo xtask run-tests $CHIP ``` For running a single test on a target, from the `xtask` folder run: ```shell # Run GPIO tests for ESP32-C6 cargo xtask run-tests esp32c6 --test gpio ``` Another alternative way of running a single test is, from the `hil-tests` folder: ```shell # Run GPIO tests for ESP32-C6 CARGO_BUILD_TARGET=riscv32imac-unknown-none-elf \ PROBE_RS_CHIP=esp32c6 \ cargo +nightly test --features=esp32c6 --test=gpio ``` - If the `--test` argument is omitted, then all tests will be run, independently if the tests are supported for that target, for this reason, we encourage using the `xtask` approach. - The build target **MUST** be specified via the `CARGO_BUILD_TARGET` environment variable or as an argument (`--target`). - The chip **MUST** be specified via the `PROBE_RS_CHIP` environment variable or as an argument of `probe-rs` (`--chip`). Some tests will require physical connections, please see the current [configuration in our runners](#running-tests-remotes-ie-on-self-hosted-runners). ### Running Tests Remotes (ie. On Self-Hosted Runners) The [`hil.yml`] workflow builds the test suite for all our available targets and executes them. Our Virtual Machines have the following setup: - ESP32-C3 (`rustboard`): - Devkit: `ESP32-C3-DevKit-RUST-1` connected via USB-Serial-JTAG. - `GPIO2` and `GPIO4` are connected. - VM: Ubuntu 20.04.5 configured with the following [setup](#vm-setup) - ESP32-C6 (`esp32c6-usb`): - Devkit: `ESP32-C6-DevKitC-1 V1.2` connected via USB-Serial-JTAG (`USB` port). - `GPIO2` and `GPIO4` are connected. - VM: Ubuntu 20.04.5 configured with the following [setup](#vm-setup) - ESP32-H2 (`esp32h2-usb`): - Devkit: `ESP32-H2-DevKitM-1` connected via USB-Serial-JTAG (`USB` port). - `GPIO2` and `GPIO4` are connected. - VM: Ubuntu 20.04.5 configured with the following [setup](#vm-setup) [`hil.yml`]: https://github.com/esp-rs/esp-hal/blob/main/.github/workflows/hil.yml #### VM Setup ```bash # Install Rust: curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh -s -- --default-toolchain stable -y --profile minimal # Source the current shell: source "$HOME/.cargo/env" # Install dependencies sudo apt install -y pkg-config libudev-dev # Install probe-rs cargo install probe-rs --git=https://github.com/probe-rs/probe-rs --rev=ddd59fa --features=cli --bin=probe-rs --locked --force # Add the udev rules wget -O - https://probe.rs/files/69-probe-rs.rules | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/69-probe-rs.rules > /dev/null # Add the user to plugdev group sudo usermod -a -G plugdev $USER # Reboot the sudo reboot ``` ## Adding New Tests 1. Create a new integration test file (`tests/$PERIPHERAL.rs`) 2. Add a corresponding `[[test]]` entry to `Cargol.toml` (**MUST** set `harness = false`) 3. Write the tests 4. Document any necessary physical connections on boards connected to self-hosted runners 5. Add a header in the test stating which targets support the given tests. Eg: ```rust //! AES Test //% CHIPS: esp32 esp32c3 esp32c6 esp32h2 esp32s2 esp32s3 ``` If the test is supported by all the targets, you can omit the header. 6. Write some documentation at the top of the `tests/$PERIPHERAL.rs` file with the pins being used and the required connections, if applicable.
