Raspberry Pi 5

Enablement

LAVA by default is configured to work with this DUT + LAA setup. If you opt for a different setup you’ll have to change your DUT + LAA device configuration on LAVA.

Components

The following components are required to fully automate the board:

Flylead MIB
Short RJ45 network cable
JST PH 3pin to female socket cab
USB-A male to USB-C male cable
USB-C male to USB-C male cable
Micro SD Card

MIB

Configuration

Set the voltage level switch on the top of the MIB to 3v3:

Network

Connect the Raspberry Pi network interface to the LAA private network interface.

USB

Connect the LAA USB OTG port (front facing) to one of the Raspberry-Pi USB port.

Power

Connect a USB C-to-C cable from LAA Port 1 (facing upward) to the RPi USB power port.

Serial

Connect the RPi debug port to the flylead header in the middle.

3-pin debug socket

The RPi5 provide debug and serial via a 1mm JST socket. You can either order one or use the one provided with the Raspberry Pi Debug Probe.

Software

In order for the Raspberry Pi DUT to be easily testable by LAVA, the DUT should boot to u-boot.

To boot the Raspberry Pi 5, we will boot from USB Mas Storage using USB Mass Storage Emulation.

USB Mass Storage Emulation

The LAA USB OTG port will act as a USB Mass Storage device with the content that you specify in LAVA.

This setup allows to update the bootloader without reflashing the DUT.

We provide pre-built image.

Setup a simple recovery mechanism

Refer to the RPi 4 documentation.
