Hi everyone!
I’m excited to be working on the project “Update Beagle-Tester for mainline testing” as part of Google Summer of Code 2025 , under the mentorship of @RobertCNelson , @lorforlinux , @jkridner , @Anuj_Deshpande , @Vedant_Paranjape , @KumarAbhishek
This thread will serve as a weekly log of my progress throughout the summer. Each post will include:
Accomplishments
Resolutions to blockers
Ongoing blockers
Plans for the week
I’ll be sharing detailed updates, ideas, and learnings as I go. Your suggestions, thoughts, and feedback are more than welcome!
Looking forward to a meaningful and productive summer with the BeagleBoard community!

Week 2-3 Update
Accomplishments
Defined barcode formats: MKB001
for auto-detection, MKBXXXXXXX
for specific Clicks
Wrote clickid_detect.cpp
to scan I2C and read ClickID EEPROM
Created simulate_clickid.sh
using i2c-stub
for EEPROM emulation
Modified beagle-tester.c
to support auto-detection and dispatch logic
Implemented dispatch table in click_dispatch.c
for modular test execution
Added example test: rtc5click_test.c
Updated folder structure to separate src/
, include/
, click_tests/
Updated Makefile to support C and C++ builds
Verified workflow for auto and manual test execution
Ensured clean and scalable architecture for adding new Click board tests
Plans for the Week
Planned logging, driver loading, regression tests, and HDMI validation as next steps

Week 4 Update
Accomplishments
Integrated a new HDMI validation test into the beagle-tester
framework to verify HDMI signal via frame color detection.
Developed hdmi_test.cpp
using OpenCV and V4L2 to capture frames from /dev/video0
and detect red, green, or blue activity.
Enabled manual invocation using beagle-tester HDMITEST
and automatic execution during the standard board test flow (after USB and network tests).
Restricted test to HDMI-capable boards (e.g., BeagleBone Black, xM, X15), while automatically skipping it on boards like Blue or PocketBeagle.
Updated the build system and documentation, with proper Makefile
integration and usage instructions for reproducibility and deployment.
Plans for the Week
Plan to integrate Mongoose webserver next into the beagle-tester to publish test results.
