pytactl 2.0-1

Package Information

DescriptionPython implementation of TAC for controlling Qualcomm debug boards

Python implementation of Test Automation Controller (TAC/Alpaca) for controlling Qualcomm debug boards. It uses config files and PSOC firmware from the original TAC (Alpaca) system.

Bughopper boards (V1 and V2) work out of the box. They are self-describing and need no config files.

All other debug boards (FTDI, PSOC) require configuration files that are NOT shipped with pytactl. The easiest way to obtain them is the installconfigs subcommand, which downloads every .tcnf file and devicelist.json from the qcom-test-automation-controller project
