Can we use Robotframework on a Serial port ?

[Rohan Majumdar]

Hello All,

I was trying out ways to test my device over a UART which has a fixed port number.
The assignment is such that I have to post something on the Serial Port and then obtain and parse the output and decide whether the test has failed or passed.
Can anyone point me in the right direction.
Many thanks in advance.

Regards
Rohan

Hi Rohan,

Yes this is possible but you have to develop your own serial library,
I will suggest some reading: http://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/RobotFrameworkUserGuide.html#creating-test-libraries

If you are with Python, I will think of using the Py serial lib to make your lib

Hope this help,
Ed'

I dont know exactly your requirements but we simply connect the serial of our DUT to a linux machine where ser2net is running. Then we can test the DUT via serial interface from robotframework. In our case it is a embedded device with u-boot and linux running.
