Thank you for correcting that; I keep forgetting about that system.  Do
you know why that system never saw any real uptake?

For what it's worth, REACTS is integrated into the Gerrit workflow and
the board-status repository, and has additional tests that the older
system does not.  We are also working on extending the REACTS to support
new architectures beyond x86, and Raptor Engineering's REACTS instance
has a proven reliability track record spanning over 1 1/2 years of
continuous production operation.  Finally, we do provide the core files
under the AGPL for those with the requisite knowledge and expertise
wishing to roll their own system; the licensed REACTS copies are
intended for the commercial market where reliability, ease of use, and
availability of support are of high importance.

Thanks!

The only other one besides this one, which has been available without
license restrictions and free of charge since 2006:

https://www.coreboot.org/Distributed_and_Automated_Testsystem
https://www.coreboot.org/PDFs/LinuxBIOS-testing/coreboot-testsystem.tar.gz

[coreboot] REACTS Pricing Changes

2017-01-11 Thread Timothy Pearson

All,

We have implemented a new, flexible licensing system for our REACTS
coreboot test solution.  The new licensing model allows you to only pay
for what you intend to use, replacing of the old fixed 5-DUT licensing
system, thus lowering the barrier to entry to get a REACTS system
installed and verifying _your_ hardware.

Since the first announcement of the REACTS, the system has received
several feature upgrades, which are provided at no additional cost to
holders of a REACTS support contract.  The system now supports testing
of varying architectures (currently i386, i686-pae, and x86_64), testing
of S3 resume path operation, external Flash write, and much more.  As
always, the core system is also available under the AGPL for those with
appropriate existing infrastructure wanting to assemble a test system
from scratch.

When you purchase a REACTS license, you are helping us continue to
maintain and improve the only publicly available CI hardware testing
solution for coreboot.  To date REACTS has been instrumental in allowing
massive cleanup, refactoring, and overall improvement of the AMD native
codebase without fear of causing regression on tested hardware.  If you
are interested in helping this effort by purchasing a license for a
ready-to-run REACTS control system, please visit the REACTS information
page at https://www.raptorengineering.com/content/REACTS/intro.html

Thank you!
