This post will be talking about , how you can do kernel regression , stress and performance testing on ARM architecture. Setup: To set up your ARM device , you need an image to get started. I was intending to test the latest compose (Fedora 26 1.4 Beta on Raspberry Pi 3 Model B). Download the file (Workstation raw-xz for armhfp) or any variant that you want to test. Once the file is download, all you need to do is to get a SD card and write the img in the card. There are two ways of doing it using " Fedora Media Writer " which can now burn the image for ARM devices. The other way is the old dd , here is how you do it using dd Once the dd has executed itself successfully , its time to plug in the SD in ARM device and boot it up. Once the ARM device is booted up all you need to do is to clone the kernel test suite from here Dependencies and Execution: You will need 2 packages 1.gcc 2.fedora-python You can install them by executing "sudo dnf in...

Also , it gives a sense of assurance to the new contributors to simply plug themselves up in one of these calls and start from there even if they miss one , they would still be able to contribute to the release cycle. The proposal is to create a wiki page and link it up to Fedora QA Join where people will benefit from it. 2. Feedback , FAQ ,Quick Links, Logs and recordings should be marked and kept in a wiki p...
