pyAutoPort 1.0.1

A tool automating UART and ADB interaction

Quick Start

pyAutoPort is a BASH/ZSH toolset for communicating with a Device Under Test (DUT) connected via UART and/or ADB. Embedded system engineers can use this toolset for automating tests.

These commands can be executed directly from the terminal as system commands.

Installation

Install pyAutoPort-related commands using:

/bin/pip install .

Run this command INSIDE JUPYTER if you want to use this in a Jupyter notebook or Jupyter Lab.

Sending UART Commands

Send UART commands and receive replies with:

uart_send ${MESSAGE}

For example, you should be able to see "connected" in the output after running:

uart_send "echo connected"

To specify the UART port and baudrate, define them in environment variables like this:

• Linux/MacOS

export TESTER_UART_PORT="/dev/ttyACM0"
export TESTER_UART_BAUDRATE=1250000

• Windows

set TESTER_UART_PORT="/dev/ttyACM0"
set TESTER_UART_BAUDRATE=1250000

You don't need to send other commands to get output; uart_send will return the output.

Interacting with ADB

While adb shell xxx is widely used to run shell commands from scripts without user interaction, direct interaction via the command-line interface (CLI) is necessary sometimes, especially when running an interactive app behind ADB.

This package provides tools for keeping an ADB session open and interacting with it directly from a script without being trapped by adb shell.

Open A Persistent ADB Session

adb_open&

Send Commands to ADB Session

adb_send some command
adb_send another command

Close ADB Sessions

adb_close

These commands simplify the process of sending and receiving data to and from your DUT using UART and ADB in various testing scenarios.
