This was a hard project. The documentation on setting up a new ATE is outdated and has a lot of bugs. I improved the efficiency of the laptop by switching to a lighterweight distro, and optimize/updating required packages.
The initial setup required installing ubuntu 20 on a new laptop and going through the documentation process. This was too tedious so instead, I created a VM on Virtual box, setup curie, turned my vdi file into a bootable image and dd installed it into a usb. Uploaded to Okra repo.
It required too much work setting up a new laptop, initially I used clonezilla but that required specific hardware on target device.
Iso images are limited to 4GB only (dvd standard), so I needed to create a different type of image that can be easily passed around.
The existing setup was too bloated
All the tools are specific to debugging the Edamame pod
We can quickly create a new ATE laptop by installing the contents of the USB on a new laptop/computer.
OR
We can directly boot into the usb, allowing any computer to become an ATE laptop.
This allows Service Delivery (SD) to quickly load up our okra tools for debugging, without needing prior advanced knowledge on computers.
