Hey guys, Nepal should receive its shipment of 200 XO's in roughly 14 days from today.
Here is the Rough Test Plan I have in mind 1. Boot into firmware and run test-all 2. Load customized image based on 656 build 3. Test localization on each XO (read Nepali, type in Nepali) 4. Test that basic activities like browse, E-Paati, EToys work 5. Associate XO's w/ school server via active antenna, test basic school services, cache, moodle, file downloads, chat Questions: How do I get developer keys for all 200 XO's and then how do I deactivate the developer keys after I no longer need access to the firmware? Which anti-theft features of Bitfrost have been implemented on the XO's we will receive? I distinctly recall there was some kind of mechanism where the XO would "phone home" periodically to a central database to see if it matched a list of stolen XO's. How many XO's can a single active antenna support? We only have two active antennas at the moment. Should we buy extra regular access points to back up our active antennas? Again, would love to know if particular AP is preferred and how many XO's one can support. I read in the devel list today that the WRT54G is not preferred. We will have two pilot schools. One w/ 110 students and the other w/ 50 students. I appreciate any other ideas on testing the XO's, particularly testing the batteries and the network. The Test_Config_Notes page in the wiki refers to this script to connectivity http://wiki.laptop.org/images/8/8a/Status.sh Can anyone tell me if it is up-to-date? Notes: These XO's may have been tested thoroughly at the factory but I would prefer to at least run the firmware's "test-all" command after the XO's arrive in Nepal. I have been a sysadmin for about 10 years and I have always run some kind of diagnostics on new hardware before I put it into production. Thanks in advance for everyone's help. -- Bryan W.
