Open Source Summit + ELC North America 2019

KernelCI is a project focused on testing upstream Linux kernel on different hardware architectures and configurations. Several groups of people could benefit from having a standalone KernelCI environment easy to set up: kernel developers as well as contributors to the KernelCI project who want to add code or some test hardware.

KernelCI is meant to be run in a global distributed environment and consists of many independent moving parts that need to talk to each other, so the setup process of a local environment can be cumbersome.

During the talk, Michał will go through the process of setting up a minimal local development/testing environment that's suitable for running the KernelCI phases of build, boot, test and results collection. He'll also go through the scripts and tools that can be used to facilitate the process.
