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.
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
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!
