PS1, Line 67: Requirements Are any of the frameworks small enough to build into a linuxboot payload so we can run unit tests as a payload on the actual device? Would there be any advantage to this other than building everything with the same compiler?
https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/39893/1/Documentation/technotes/202... PS1, Line 79: JUnit-like XML output format for Jenkins I'm not positive that this is needed - any machine parsable output should work, and can be translated. I'd put this is a nice-to-have, but not a requirement.
