FAQPage Schema
How do I automate hardware testing for GPIO and UART on an ESP32-C6 board?

Automate ESP32-C6 hardware testing by flashing custom test firmware and executing board-level checks via a serial port connection. This validates GPIO, UART, and timer functionalities using established test infrastructure patterns.

What is needed to run automated ESP32-C6 hardware tests?

Running automated ESP32-C6 hardware tests requires a physical ESP32-C6 devkit, an active serial port connection, and custom test firmware. These components enable the execution of board-level hardware validations.

Can I validate timer functionality on ESP32-C6 hardware using automated scripts?

Yes, you can validate timer functionality on ESP32-C6 hardware by executing automated scripts that leverage Tock's test infrastructure. The process flashes a custom test firmware to run board-level timer checks.

What's the best way to run hardware validation suites on ESP32-C6 devices?

The best way to run hardware validation on ESP32-C6 devices is using automated test patterns that flash firmware and report results. This streamlines the QA process by validating GPIO, UART, and timer functions directly on hardware.

Does automated ESP32-C6 hardware testing work without a serial port connection?

No, automated ESP32-C6 hardware testing requires a serial port connection to communicate with the device. This connection is necessary to flash the custom test firmware and execute the board-level hardware checks.
