Hi Wim, the lava as QA system is still being worked on, but currently has the lowest priority. While some hardware has been automated for firmware testing, some glue code is still missing.
Some details can be found here: https://9esec.io/blog/bios-test-station/

Hi Wim,
The coreboot site refers to the LAVA site as the QA system. It looks like some attempts have been made and then abandoned.
that's so far true. I've setted up a lava environment some years ago, but didn't had the time to continue and maintain it.
Does anyone know the current status? Did this not work out or is there another reason not to add additional platforms to the environment?
It worked out to test coreboot. Patrick was also looking into it this year. (CC: Patrick/siro).
Maybe it's time to do another run of integrating it into the coreboot CI?
Best, lynxis

Hello Patrick and Alexander,
I am sorry for the late reply to your answers.
We are looking into this as well. From what I have seen so far I got the feeling LAVA is a bit "heavy" given the tasks that need to be performed. Please note that I am new to the LAVA system.
Best Regards, Wim Vervoorn

3mdeb was on Automated Testing Summit 2019 (part of ELCE), where met Carl-Daniel (adding to cc). Also I'm adding 3mdeb Validation Team Leader.
We had short discussion related. Presentations from ATS will available and it would be great if in coreboot we can align with that effort.
In our opinion corebootCI and any automated validation system should be consistent with Linux kernel validation otherwise nobody would be able to handle maintenance of that system. More to that there is a we have in common with Linux validation, especially when we consider embedded environment. If we will invent new things we will contribute to validation ecosystem fragmentation. There were various approaches to solve that problem and community works on that.
In 3mdeb we have pretty stable automated validation system integrated with CI that is based on 3mdeb RTE and Robot Framework, so we contributed to fragmentation, but would be glad to align and do that in correct inter-operable way: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_uRhVo9eYeZONnelymonYp444zYHT_Q_qmJE... https://shop.3mdeb.com/product/rte/
If we can have organized community way of moving corebootCI and automated validation systems forward, then definitely we would like to help.
