Download Timeout

This group of controls serves to set the maximum time that is allowed for downloading a test to the target board. If the time is exceeded, the test will be deemed to have failed for reason of “Download Timeout” and the execution of that particular test will be abandoned. This option only applies to tests run on hardware, not to those executed in a simulator. Times are in units of elapsed seconds.

Three options are available using the drop-down list:

• Calculated from file size - an estimate of the maximum time required for download is made using the (stripped) executable size and the currently used baud rate

• Specified - a user-specified value may be entered in the adjacent edit box

• None - no maximum download time is to be applied.

Run time Timeout

This group of controls serves to set the maximum time that is allowed for executing a test on the target board or in a simulator. If the time is exceeded, the test will be deemed to have failed for reason of “Timeout” and the execution of that particular test will be abandoned. In the case of hardware, the time is measured in elapsed seconds: in the case of a simulator it is in CPU seconds.

Three options are available using the drop-down list:

• None - no maximum download time is to be applied.

• Specified - a user-specified value may be entered in the adjacent edit box

• Default - a default value of 30 seconds is used

Connection

The Connection controls may be used to specify how the target board is to be accessed.

If the target board is connected using a serial cable, the Serial radio button should be checked. In this case you can select a port (COM1, COM2, …) and an appropriate baud rate using drop-list boxes.

If the target board is accessed remotely using GDB remote protocol, the “TCP/IP” radio button should be checked. In this case you can select a host name and TCP/IP port number using edit boxes.

Executables Tab

This is used to adjust the set of tests available for execution. A check box against each executable name indicates whether that executable will be included when the Run button is pressed. The Check All and Uncheck All buttons may be used to check or uncheck all items.

When the property sheet is first displayed, it will be pre-populated with those test executables that have been linked using the Build/Tests operation against the current configuration.

You can right-click in the window to display a context menu containing Add and Remove items. Clicking Remove will remove those executables selected. Clicking Add will display a dialog box that allows you to add to the set of items. Equivalently the Add button may be used to add executables, and the DEL key may be used to remove them.

You can use the Add from Folder button to add a number of executables in a specified folder (optionally including subfolders, if you click on Yes when asked).

Output Tab

This tab is used to display the output from running tests. The output can be saved to a file or cleared by means of the popup menu displayed when you right-click in the window.

Summary Tab

This tab is used to display a record, in summary form, of those tests executed. For each execution, the following information is displayed:

• Time - the date and time of execution

• Host - the host name of the machine from which the test was downloaded

• Platform - the platform on which the test was executed

• Executable - the executable (file name) of the test executed

• Status - the result of executing the test. This will be one of the following:

• Not started

• No result

• Inapplicable

• Pass

• DTimeout

• Timeout

• Cancelled

• Fail

• Assert fail

• Size - the size [stripped/unstripped] of the test executed

• Download - the download time [mm:ss/mm:ss] used. The first of the two times displayed represents the actual time used: the second the limit time.

• Elapsed - the elapsed time [mm:ss] used.

• Execution - the execution time [mm:ss/mm:ss] used. The first of the two times displayed represents the actual time used: the second the limit time.

The output can be saved to a file or cleared by means of the popup menu displayed when you right-click in the window.
