   7 ToDo list for tbot
   8 ==================
   9
  10 please look also into the tbot ToDo list.
  11 https://github.com/hsdenx/tbot/blob/master/ToDo
  12
  13 - cleanup tbot code:
  14   - remove all retry / timeout pieces of code
  15   - clean up tbot function names, as I am not good in
  16     giving function a understandable name ;-)
  17   - as I am not a python programmer, cleanup whole tbot code
  18
  19 - introduce a "layering" like yocto do, so U-Boot TC can integrated
  20   into U-Boot source code.
  21
  22   Proposal:
  23   introduce  subdirs in "src/tc"
  24
  25        lab: all lab specific stuff
  26        lab/common: common lab stuff (for example ssh handling)
  27        lab/ssh_std: ssh_std specific stuff
  28
  29        u-boot: all u-boot tests
  30        u-boot/common: common u-boot tc
  31        u-boot/duts: DUTS tc
  32        u-boot-dxr2: all u-boot dxr2 board specific tc
  33
  34        board: board tc
  35        board/common: common board tc
  36        board/dxr2: all tc for dxr2 board
  37
  38        linux: all linux tc
  39        linux/common: common linux tc
  40        linux/dxr2
  41
  42   - move U-Boot special TC to U-Boot source
  43     -> need a mechanism in tbot, how it gets automatically for example
  44        U-Boot TC from U-Boot source...
  45     -> add a consistency checker
  46
  47 - simplify tbot log output (seperate a lot of output which is currently
  48   in INFO logging level, to another logging level)
  49   started (new loglevel "CON", whih prints read/write from console only), see:
  50   https://github.com/hsdenx/tbot/commit/b4ab2567ad8c19ad53f785203159d3c8465a21c6
  51   - make the timestamp configurable
  52
  53 - Open more than 2 filehandles ?
  54   Do we need for more complex TC more than 2 filehandles?
  55
  56 - Find a way to document all TC and document all variables they use in an
  57   automated way.
  58
  59 - write a lot of more TC
  60
  61 - get U-Boot configuration settings from current U-Boot code and use
  62   them in U-Boot TC-es
