SSH

The ssh boot method connects the LAVA worker to an already running device over SSH. The device must be booted up and reachable at the address configured in the SSH device dictionary.

yaml - boot: method: ssh prompts: - 'root@device:~#'

The boot action:

  1. Opens an SSH session from the worker to the device.
  2. Copies the LAVA test overlay to the device using SCP.
  3. Waits for the expected shell prompt.
  4. Unpacks the overlay on the device for test execution.
