Configuration
This chapter describes the individual drivers and resources used in a device configuration. Drivers can depend on resources or other drivers, whereas resources have no dependencies.
Here the resource RawSerialPort provides the information for the SerialDriver, which in turn is needed by the ShellDriver. Driver dependency resolution is done by searching for the driver which implements the dependent protocol, all drivers implement one or more protocols.
Resources
Serial Ports
RawSerialPort
A RawSerialPort is a serial port which is identified via the device path on the local computer. Take note that re-plugging USB serial converters can result in a different enumeration order.
RawSerialPort:
port: /dev/ttyUSB0
speed: 115200
The example would access the serial port /dev/ttyUSB0 on the local computer with a baud rate of 115200.
- Arguments:
port (str): path to the serial device
speed (int, default=115200): desired baud rate
- Used by:
NetworkSerialPort
A NetworkSerialPort describes a serial port which is exported over the network, usually using RFC2217 or raw tcp.
NetworkSerialPort:
host: remote.example.computer
port: 53867
speed: 115200
The example would access the serial port on computer remote.example.computer via port 53867 and use a baud rate of 115200 with the RFC2217 protocol.
- Arguments:
host (str): hostname of the remote host
port (str): TCP port on the remote host to connect to
speed (int, default=115200): baud rate of the serial port
protocol (str, default=”rfc2217”): protocol used for connection: raw or rfc2217
- Used by:
ModbusRTU
Describes the resource required to use the ModbusRTU driver. Modbus RTU is a communication protocol used to control many different kinds of electronic systems, such as thermostats, power plants, etc. Modbus is normally implemented on top of RS-485, though this is not strictly necessary, as long as the Modbus network only has one master (and up to 256 slaves).
The labgrid driver is implemented using the minimalmodbus Python library. The implementation only supports that labgrid will be the master on the Modbus network. For more information, see minimalmodbus.
This resource and driver only supports local usage and will not work with an exporter.
ModbusRTU:
port: "/dev/ttyUSB0"
address: 16
speed: 115200
timeout: 0.25
- Arguments:
port (str): tty the instrument is connected to, e.g. ‘/dev/ttyUSB0’
address (int): slave address on the modbus, e.g. 16
speed (int, default=115200): baud rate of the serial port
timeout (float, default=0.25): optional, timeout in seconds
- Used by:
USBSerialPort
A USBSerialPort describes a serial port which is connected via USB and is identified by matching udev properties. This allows identification through hot-plugging or rebooting.

Providers describe directories that are accessible by the target over a specific protocol. This is useful for software installation in the bootloader (via TFTP) or downloading update artifacts under Linux (via HTTP).
They are used with the ManagedFile helper, which ensures that the file is available on the server and then creates a symlink from the internal directory to the uploaded file. The path for the target is generated by replacing the internal prefix with the external prefix.
For now, the TFTP/NFS/HTTP server needs to be configured before using it from labgrid.
TFTPProvider / NFSProvider / HTTPProvider
TFTPProvider:
internal: "/srv/tftp/board-23/"
external: "board-23/"
HTTPProvider:

The example describes a docker daemon accessible via the ‘/var/run/docker.sock’ unix socket. When used by a DockerDriver, the DockerDriver will first create a docker container which the DockerDaemon resource will subsequently use to create one/more NetworkService instances - as specified by DockerDriver configuration. Each NetworkService instance corresponds to a network service running inside the container.
Moreover, DockerDaemon will remove any hanging containers if DockerDaemon is used several times in a row - as is the case when executing test suites. Normally DockerDriver - when deactivated - cleans up the created docker container; programming errors, keyboard interrupts or unix kill signals may lead to hanging containers, however; therefore auto-cleanup is important.
- Arguments:
docker_daemon_url (str): The url of the daemon to use for this target
- Used by:
udev Matching
labgrid allows the exporter (or the client-side environment) to match resources via udev rules. Any udev property key and value can be used, path matching USB devices is allowed as well. The udev resources become available as soon as they are plugged into the computer running the exporter.
The initial matching and monitoring for udev events is handled by the
UdevManager
class.
This manager is automatically created when a resource derived from
USBResource
(such as USBSerialPort
, IMXUSBLoader
or
AndroidUSBFastboot
) is instantiated.
To identify the kernel device which corresponds to a configured USBResource,
each existing (and subsequently added) kernel device is matched against the
configured resources.
This is based on a list of match entries which must all be tested
successfully against the potential kernel device.
Match entries starting with an @
are checked against the device’s parents
instead of itself; here one matching parent causes the check to be successful.
A given USBResource class has builtin match entries that are checked first,
for example that the SUBSYSTEM
is tty
as in the case of the
USBSerialPort
.
Only if these succeed, match entries provided by the user for the resource
instance are considered.
In addition to the properties reported by udevadm monitor --udev
--property
, elements of the ATTR(S){}
dictionary (as shown by udevadm
info <device> -a
) are useable as match keys.
Finally sys_name
allows matching against the name of the directory in
sysfs.
All match entries must succeed for the device to be accepted.
labgrid provides a small utility called labgrid-suggest
which will
output the proper YAML formatted snippets for you.
These snippets can be added under the resource key in an environment
configuration or under their own entries in an exporter configuration file.
As the USB bus number can change depending on the kernel driver initialization
order, it is better to use the ID_PATH
instead of sys_name
for USB
devices.
In the default udev configuration, ID_PATH
is not available for all USB
devices, but that can be changed by creating a udev rules file:
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", IMPORT{builtin}="path_id"
The following examples show how to use the udev matches for some common use-cases.
Matching a USB Serial Converter on a Hub Port
This will match any USB serial converter connected below the hub port 1.2.5.5
on bus 1.
The ID_PATH value corresponds to the hierarchy of buses and ports as shown
with udevadm info /dev/ttyUSB0
.
USBSerialPort:
match:
'@ID_PATH': pci-0000:05:00.0-usb-0:1.2.5.5
Note the @
in the @ID_PATH
match, which applies this match to the
device’s parents instead of directly to itself.
This is necessary for the USBSerialPort because we actually want to find the
ttyUSB?
device below the USB serial converter device.
Matching an Android USB Fastboot Device
In this case, we want to match the USB device on that port directly, so we don’t use a parent match.
AndroidUSBFastboot:
match:
ID_PATH: pci-0000:05:00.0-usb-0:1.2.3
Matching a Specific UART in a Dual-Port Adapter
On this board, the serial console is connected to the second port of an
on-board dual-port USB-UART.
The board itself is connected to the bus 3 and port path 10.2.2.2.
The correct value can be shown by running udevadm info /dev/ttyUSB9
in our
case:
$ udevadm info /dev/ttyUSB9
P: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-10/3-10.2/3-10.2.2/3-10.2.2.2/3-10.2.2.2:1.1/ttyUSB9/tty/ttyUSB9

We use the ID_USB_INTERFACE_NUM
to distinguish between the two ports:
USBSerialPort:
match:
'@ID_PATH': pci-0000:05:00.0-usb-2:10.2.2.2'
ID_USB_INTERFACE_NUM: '01'
Matching a USB UART by Serial Number
Most of the USB serial converters in our lab have been programmed with unique serial numbers. This makes it easy to always match the same one even if the USB topology changes or a board has been moved between host systems.
USBSerialPort:
match:
ID_SERIAL_SHORT: P-00-03564
To check if your device has a serial number, you can use udevadm info
:
$ udevadm info /dev/ttyUSB5 | grep SERIAL_SHORT
E: ID_SERIAL_SHORT=P-00-03564
In the background, the additional properties are provided by the builtin usb_id
udev helper:

login_prompt: ' login: '
username: root
- Arguments:
prompt (regex): shell prompt to match after logging in
login_prompt (regex): match for the login prompt
username (str): username to use during login

pasted.
To achieve this, \e[?2004h
is inserted when user input is expected,
enabling paste detection.
Add \x1b\[\?2004h
at the beginning of the prompt argument to allow the
ShellDriver to still match the prompt in this case.
SSHDriver
A SSHDriver requires a NetworkService resource and allows the execution of commands and file upload via network. It uses SSH’s ServerAliveInterval option to detect failed connections.
If a shared SSH connection to the target is already open, it will reuse it when running commands. In that case, ServerAliveInterval should be set outside of labgrid, as it cannot be enabled for an existing connection.

SmallUBootDriver
A SmallUBootDriver interfaces with stripped-down U-Boot variants that are sometimes used in cheap consumer electronics.
SmallUBootDriver is meant as a driver for U-Boot with only little functionality compared to a standard U-Boot. Especially is copes with the following limitations:
The U-Boot does not have a real password-prompt but can be activated by entering a “secret” after a message was displayed.
The command line does not have a built-in echo command. Thus this driver uses ‘Unknown Command’ messages as marker before and after the output of a command.
Since there is no echo we cannot return the exit code of the command. Commands will always return 0 unless the command was not found.
This driver needs the following features activated in U-Boot to work:
The U-Boot must not have a real password prompt. Instead it must be keyword activated. For example it should be activated by a dialog like the following:
U-Boot: “Autobooting in 1s…”
labgrid: “secret”
U-Boot: <switching to console>
The U-Boot must be able to parse multiple commands in a single line separated by “;”.
The U-Boot must support the “bootm” command to boot from a memory location.
- Binds to:
ConsoleProtocol
(see SerialDriver)
- Implements:

None
The driver can be used in test cases by calling the set_links() function with a list containing one or more of “dut-device”, “host-dut” and “host-device”. Not all combinations can be configured at the same time.
USBSDWireDriver
The USBSDWireDriver
uses a USBSDWireDevice resource to control a
USB-SD-Wire device via sd-mux-ctrl
tool.
- Implements:
None yet
- Arguments:
None
The driver can be used in test cases by calling the set_mode() function with argument being dut, host, off, or client.
USBVideoDriver
The USBVideoDriver
is used to show a video stream from a remote USB
video camera in a local window.
It uses the GStreamer command line utility gst-launch
on both sides to
stream the video via an SSH connection to the exporter.
- Binds to:
- video:
- Implements:
- Arguments:
None
Although the driver can be used from Python code by calling the stream()
method, it is currently mainly useful for the video
subcommand of
labgrid-client
.
It supports the Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 with the USB ID 046d:082d and a
few others.
More cameras can be added to get_qualities() and get_pipeline() in
labgrid/driver/usbvideodriver.py
.
Appropriate configuration parameters can be determined by using the GStreamer
gst-device-monitor-1.0
command line utility.
USBAudioInputDriver
The USBAudioInputDriver
is used to receive a audio stream from a local
or remote USB audio input.
It uses the GStreamer command line utility gst-launch
on the sender side to
stream the audio to the client.
For remote resources, this is done via an SSH connection to the exporter.
On the receiver, it either uses gst-launch
for simple playback or
gst-python for more
complex cases (such as measuring the current volume level).

USBTMCDriver
The USBTMCDriver
is used to control a oscilloscope via the USB TMC
protocol.
- Binds to:
- tmc:
- Implements:
None yet
- Arguments:
None
Currently, it can be used by the labgrid-client
tmc
subcommands to show
(and save) a screenshot, to show per channel measurements and to execute raw
TMC commands.
It only supports the Keysight DSO-X 2000 series (with the USB ID 0957:1798),
but more devices can be added by extending on_activate() in
labgrid/driver/usbtmcdriver.py
and writing a corresponding backend in
labgrid/driver/usbtmc/
.
FlashromDriver
The FlashromDriver
is used to flash a rom, using the flashrom utility.
FlashromDriver:
image: 'foo'
images:
foo: ../images/image_to_load.raw
- Binds to:
- flashrom_resource:
- Implements:
- Arguments:
image (str): optional, key in images containing the path of an image to bootstrap onto the target
The FlashromDriver allows using the linux util “flashrom” to write directly to a ROM e.g. a NOR SPI flash. The assumption is that the device flashing the DUT e.g. an exporter is wired to the Flash to be flashed. The driver implements the bootstrap protocol. The driver uses tool configuration section and the key: flashrom to determine the path of the installed flashrom utility.
FlashScriptDriver
The FlashScriptDriver
is used to run a custom script or program to flash
a device.
Note
This driver is only intended to be used as a last resort when it is impossible or impractical to use a different driver.
FlashScriptDriver:
script: 'foo'
args:
- '{device.devnode}'
images:
foo: ../images/flash_device.sh
- Binds to:
- flashabledevice_resource:
- Implements:
None (yet)
- Arguments:
script (str): optional, key in images containing the script to execute for writing of the flashable device
args (list of str): optional, list of arguments for flash script execution
The FlashScriptDriver allows running arbitrary programs to flash a device. Some SoC or devices may require custom, one-off, or proprietary programs to flash. A target image can be bundled with these programs using a tool like makeself, which can then be executed by labgrid to flash the device using this driver.
Additional arguments may be passed with the args
parameter.
These arguments will be expanded as Python format strings with the
following keys:
HTTPVideoDriver
The HTTPVideoDriver
is used to show a video stream over HTTP or HTTPS
from a remote IP video source in a local window.
- Binds to:
- video:
- Implements:
Although the driver can be used from Python code by calling the stream()
method, it is currently mainly useful for the video
subcommand of

The DediprogFlashDriver
is used to flash an SPI device using DediprogFlasher dpcmd.
DediprogFlashDriver:
image: 'foo'
images:
foo: ../images/image_to_load.raw
- Binds to:
- DediprogFlasher_resource:
- Arguments:
image (str): optional, key in images containing the path of an image to flash onto the target
The DediprogFlashDriver allows using DediprogFlasher dpcmd to flash or erase SPI devices. It is assumed that the device flashing is an exporter wired, via DediprogFlasher SF100 for instance, to the device being flashed.
XenaDriver
The XenaDriver allows to use Xena networking test equipment. Using the xenavalkyrie library a full API to control the tester is available.

Strategies
Strategies are used to ensure that the device is in a certain state during a test. Such a state could be the bootloader or a booted Linux kernel with shell.
BareboxStrategy
A BareboxStrategy has four states:
unknown
off
barebox
shell
Here is an example environment config:
targets:
main:
resources:
RawSerialPort:
port: '/dev/ttyUSB0'
drivers:
ManualPowerDriver: {}
SerialDriver: {}
BareboxDriver: {}
ShellDriver:
prompt: 'root@\w+:[^ ]+ '
login_prompt: ' login: '
username: root
BareboxStrategy: {}
In order to use the BareboxStrategy via labgrid as a library and transition to
the shell
state:
>>> from labgrid import Environment
>>> e = Environment("barebox-env.yaml")
>>> t = e.get_target("main")
>>> s = t.get_driver("BareboxStrategy")
>>> s.transition("shell")
This command would transition from the bootloader into a Linux shell and activate the ShellDriver.
ShellStrategy
A ShellStrategy has three states:
unknown
off
shell
Here is an example environment config:
targets:
main:
resources:
RawSerialPort:
port: '/dev/ttyUSB0'
drivers:
ManualPowerDriver: {}
SerialDriver: {}
ShellDriver:
prompt: 'root@\w+:[^ ]+ '
login_prompt: ' login: '
username: root
ShellStrategy: {}
In order to use the ShellStrategy via labgrid as a library and transition to
the shell
state:
>>> from labgrid import Environment
>>> e = Environment("shell-env.yaml")
>>> t = e.get_target("main")
>>> s = t.get_driver("ShellStrategy")
This command would transition directly into a Linux shell and activate the ShellDriver.
UBootStrategy
A UBootStrategy has four states:
unknown
off
uboot
shell
Here is an example environment config:
targets:
main:
resources:
RawSerialPort:
port: '/dev/ttyUSB0'
drivers:
ManualPowerDriver: {}
SerialDriver: {}
UBootDriver: {}
ShellDriver:
prompt: 'root@\w+:[^ ]+ '
login_prompt: ' login: '
username: root
UBootStrategy: {}
In order to use the UBootStrategy via labgrid as a library and transition to
the shell
state:
>>> from labgrid import Environment
>>> e = Environment("uboot-env.yaml")
>>> t = e.get_target("main")
>>> s = t.get_driver("UBootStrategy")
>>> s.transition("shell")
This command would transition from the bootloader into a Linux shell and activate the ShellDriver.
DockerStrategy
A DockerStrategy has three states:
unknown
gone
accessible
Here is an example environment config:
targets:
main:
resources:
DockerDaemon:
docker_daemon_url: unix://var/run/docker.sock
drivers:
DockerDriver:
image_uri: "rastasheep/ubuntu-sshd:16.04"
container_name: "ubuntu-lg-example"
host_config: {"network_mode":"bridge"}
network_services: [{"port":22,"username":"root","password":"root"}]
DockerStrategy: {}
In order to use the DockerStrategy via labgrid as a library and transition to
the accessible
state:
>>> from labgrid import Environment
>>> e = Environment("docker-env.yaml")
>>> t = e.get_target("main")
>>> s = t.get_driver("DockerStrategy")
>>> s.transition("accessible")
These commands would activate the docker driver which creates and starts a docker container. This will subsequently make NetworkService instance(s) available which can be used for e.g. SSH access.
Reporters
StepReporter
The StepReporter outputs individual labgrid steps to STDOUT.
>>> from labgrid import StepReporter
>>> StepReporter.start()
The Reporter can be stopped with a call to the stop function:
>>> from labgrid import StepReporter
>>> StepReporter.stop()
Stopping the StepReporter if it has not been started will raise an AssertionError, as will starting an already started StepReporter.
ConsoleLoggingReporter
The ConsoleLoggingReporter outputs read calls from the console transports into files. It takes the path as a parameter.
>>> from labgrid import ConsoleLoggingReporter
>>> ConsoleLoggingReporter.start(".")
The Reporter can be stopped with a call to the stop function:
>>> from labgrid import ConsoleLoggingReporter
>>> ConsoleLoggingReporter.stop()
Stopping the ConsoleLoggingReporter if it has not been started will raise an AssertionError, as will starting an already started StepReporter.
Environment Configuration
The environment configuration for a test environment consists of a YAML file which contains targets, drivers and resources.
Note
The order is important here: Objects are instantiated in the order they appear in the YAML file, so if drivers depend on other drivers or resources which are only instantiated later, loading the environment will fail.
The skeleton for an environment consists of:
targets:
<target-1>:
resources:
<resource-1>:
<resource-1 parameters>
<resource-2>:
<resource-2 parameters>
drivers:
<driver-1>:
<driver-1 parameters>
<driver-2>: {} # no parameters for driver-2
features:
- <target-feature-1>
<target-2>:
resources:
<resources>
drivers:
<drivers>
options:
<target-option-1-name>: <value for target-option-1>
<more target-options>
<more targets>
options:
<option-1 name>: <value for option-1>
<more options>
features:
- <global-feature-1>
paths:
<path-1 name>: <absolute or relative path for path-1>
<more paths>
images:
<image-1 name>: <absolute or relative path for image-1>
<more images>
tools:
<tool-1 name>: <absolute or relative path for tool-1>
<more tools>
imports:
- <import.py>
- <python module>
If you have a single target in your environment, name it “main”, as the
get_target
function defaults to “main”.
All the resources and drivers in this chapter have a YAML example snippet which can simply be added (at the correct indentation level, one level deeper) to the environment configuration.
If you want to use multiple drivers of the same type, the resources and drivers need to be lists, e.g:
resources:
RawSerialPort:
port: '/dev/ttyS1'
drivers:
SerialDriver: {}
becomes:
resources:
- RawSerialPort:
port: '/dev/ttyS1'
- RawSerialPort:
port: '/dev/ttyS2'
drivers:
- SerialDriver: {}
- SerialDriver: {}
This configuration doesn’t specify which RawSerialPort
to use for each
SerialDriver
, so it will cause an exception when instantiating the
Target
.
To bind the correct driver to the correct resource, explicit name
and
bindings
properties are used:
resources:
- RawSerialPort:
name: 'foo'
port: '/dev/ttyS1'
- RawSerialPort:
name: 'bar'
port: '/dev/ttyS2'
drivers:
- SerialDriver:
name: 'foo_driver'
bindings:
port: 'foo'
- SerialDriver:
name: 'bar_driver'
bindings:
port: 'bar'
The property name for the binding (e.g. port in the example above) is documented for each individual driver in this chapter.
The YAML configuration file also supports templating for some substitutions, these are:
LG_* variables, are replaced with their respective LG_* environment variable
BASE is substituted with the base directory of the YAML file.
As an example:
targets:
main:
resources:
RemotePlace:
name: !template $LG_PLACE
tools:
qemu_bin: !template "$BASE/bin/qemu-bin"
would resolve the qemu_bin path relative to the BASE dir of the YAML file and try to use the RemotePlace with the name set in the LG_PLACE environment variable.
See the labgrid-device-config man page for documentation on the
top-level options
, images
, tools
, and examples
keys in the
environment configuration.
Exporter Configuration
The exporter is configured by using a YAML file (with a syntax similar to the
environment configs used for pytest) or by instantiating the Environment
object.
To configure the exporter, you need to define one or more resource groups,
each containing one or more resources.
The syntax for exported resource names is <exporter>/<group>/<class>/<name>
,
which allows the exporter to group resources for various usage scenarios, e.g.
all resources of a specific place or for a specific test setup.
For information on how the exporter fits into the rest of labgrid, see
Remote Resources and Places.
The <exporter>
part can be specified on the labgrid-exporter command
line, and defaults to the hostname of the exporter.
The basic structure of an exporter configuration file is:
<group-1>:
<resource-name-1>:
<params>
<resource-name-2>:
<params>
<group-2>:
<resource-name-1>:
<params>
By default, the class name is inferred from the resource name, and <params> will be passed to its constructor. For USB resources, you will most likely want to use udev Matching here.
As a simple example, here is one group called usb-hub-in-rack12 containing
a single USBSerialPort
resource (using udev matching), which will be
exported as exportername/usb-hub-in-rack12/NetworkSerialPort/USBSerialPort:
usb-hub-in-rack12:
USBSerialPort:
match:
'@ID_PATH': pci-0000:05:00.0-usb-3-1.3
To export multiple resources of the same class in the same group,
you can choose a unique resource name, and then use the cls
parameter to
specify the class name instead (which will not be passed as a parameter to the
class constructor).
In this next example we will export one USBSerialPort
as
exportername/usb-hub-in-rack12/NetworkSerialPort/console-main,
and another USBSerialPort
as
exportername/usb-hub-in-rack12/NetworkSerialPort/console-secondary:
usb-hub-in-rack12:
console-main:
cls: USBSerialPort
match:
'@ID_PATH': pci-0000:05:00.0-usb-3-1.3
console-secondary:
cls: USBSerialPort
match:
'@ID_PATH': pci-0000:05:00.0-usb-3-1.4
Note that you could also split the resources up into distinct groups instead to achieve the same effect:
usb-hub-in-rack12-port3:
USBSerialPort:
match:
'@ID_PATH': pci-0000:05:00.0-usb-3-1.3
usb-hub-in-rack12-port4:
USBSerialPort:
match:
'@ID_PATH': pci-0000:05:00.0-usb-3-1.4
Templating
To reduce the amount of repeated declarations when many similar resources need to be exported, the Jinja2 template engine is used as a preprocessor for the configuration file:
## Iterate from group 1001 to 1016
# for idx in range(1, 17)
{{ 1000 + idx }}:
NetworkSerialPort:
{host: rl1, port: {{ 4000 + idx }}}
NetworkPowerPort:
# if 1 <= idx <= 8
{model: apc, host: apc1, index: {{ idx }}}
# elif 9 <= idx <= 12
{model: netio, host: netio4, index: {{ idx - 8 }}}
# elif 13 <= idx <= 16
{model: netio, host: netio5, index: {{ idx - 12 }}}
# endif
# endfor
Use #
for line statements (like the for loops in the example) and ##
for line comments.
Statements like {{ 4000 + idx }}
are expanded based on variables in the
Jinja2 template.
The template processing also supports use of OS environment variables, using
something like {{ env['FOOBAR'] }}
to insert the content of environment
variable FOOBAR
.
In addition to env
the template also has access to the following variables:
- isolated
True
orFalse
, depending on the--isolated
command line option.- hostname
The hostname of the exporter host. Can be used to e.g. construct URLs to the current host (
http://{{ hostname }}/
).- name
The name of the exporter.
