Description

Related to https://github.com/oxidecomputer/hubris/issues/1783

When we are using Medusa to test Front IO boards, it would be nice to be able to tell the LEDs what color to be over the network (as that is how the test will be administered). We should noodle on what those statuses would be and what the appropriate colors would be. Some initial thoughts:

  • "no test running" = LEDs off
  • "test running" = blue
  • "test pass" = green
  • "test fail" = red

Research direction

Start by examining the xcvradm entry point and the related Hubris issue 1783 to understand how Medusa administers Front IO board tests over the network. Define the test statuses and LED colors, then determine how those status messages should be delivered; done means the agreed statuses and colors are supported end to end.
