Template:FAQ/Questions/OEM basic software test

What tests are performed on each gumstix motherboard during the Gumstix manufacturing process ?
The "standard testing" that Gumstix performs on each gumstix motherboard includes:


 * Powering on the motherboard,


 * Observing the serial console (via a console-st board connected to the 60-pin connector) to ensure that the motherboard boots properly.

This testing relies on the software using the serial console (and not disabling it), and the test procedure requires the final step of booting to be putting a login prompt on the console -- this login prompt is what the QA engineers look for to approve the board.

If a customer modifies the standard boot-up console output either by disabling/redirecting the console off the ttyS2 serial port or by removing the console login prompt, then this testing procedure would need to be modified accordingly.

There is no additional cost for this standard test procedure. Any customization of the test procedure for custom OEM configurations may incur a charge.
