[0025] In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present invention or the technical solutions in the prior art, the drawings required for use in the embodiments are briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention, and for ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative work.

[0027] The technical scheme in the embodiment of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiment of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiment is only a part of the embodiment of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiment of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] See also Figure 1 , a method for testing power stability and startup performance of a Linux device provided by an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method may include:

[0029] Control the power supply of Linux devices through the power management chip;

[0030] The Linux device system starts and runs an automation script, which is used to record power-on information after determining that the system has started normally, and the power-on information at least includes the time of entering the system and the time consumed for startup; and the number of times the system has been entered after the test started; in specific implementation, the embodiment of the present application can provide the automation script to be configured as a system service or added to rc.local so that it is automatically executed each time the system starts.

[0031] Furthermore, the current system time is recorded as the time of entering the system this time. The startup time of this time is compared with the startup time of the previous times to determine whether there is any abnormality in the system.

[0032] After determining that the startup of the Linux device reaches the target startup time, the Linux device is triggered to shut down; in specific implementation, the automation script triggers the shutdown of the Linux device through a system command or calling a power management chip.

[0033] After determining that the Linux device has reached the target shutdown time, the power management chip starts the power-on process to power the Linux device and conduct the next round of cycle testing. In specific implementation, the power management chip receives the system shutdown signal of the Linux device and records the time when the shutdown signal is received as the shutdown start time;

[0034] According to the shutdown start time, Linux determines that after the target shutdown time has passed, the power-on process is started through the power management chip to supply power to the Linux device and perform the next round of cycle testing.

[0035] According to the power-on start time, Linux determines that after the target power-on time, the power-on process is started through the power management chip to prevent the computer from getting stuck during abnormal startup and to perform the next round of cycle testing.

[0036] Furthermore, the power-on information and the abnormal information are stored in a log file. According to the periodic analysis task configuration information, the log file is parsed and statistically analyzed to generate analysis results of key indicators, wherein the key indicators at least include the startup time consumption and the number of abnormalities. A test report is generated according to the analysis results, wherein the test report at least includes the startup time consumption trend and the abnormality record.

[0037] The test method for the power stability and startup performance of a Linux device provided in the embodiment of the present application simulates the process of frequent power on and off of the device through the dual means of hardware control and software monitoring, combines script automated monitoring to achieve a fully automatic test process, and effectively records the startup reliability and performance of the Linux device under extreme power conditions.

[0038] The method provided in the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below.

[0039] The embodiment of the present application proposes an automated test of power stability and startup performance of a Linux device to improve test efficiency and accuracy.

[0040] In specific implementation, the power management chip is used to control the automatic power on and off of the device. After the device is powered on, the system starts and runs the automation script. The script records the time, calculates the startup time, and sends a shutdown signal to the power management chip. After receiving the signal, the power management chip powers off the device and automatically powers on after one minute. Repeat this process for multiple tests.

[0041] The specific process of the program includes:

[0042] a. Hardware support: The device must have a programmable power management chip that can accurately control the power-on and power-off time.

[0043] b. Configure the power management chip through a hardware interface or a dedicated software tool, set it to start the power-on process after a set target shutdown time (one minute) in the power-off state, and automatically power off after a set target startup time (such as five minutes).

[0044] c. Software automation and shutdown scripts:

[0045] i. Start automatically: Configure the script as a system service or add it to rc.local to ensure that it is automatically executed every time the system starts.

[0046] ii. Time record: record the current system time as the time of this entry into the system, increase the count of entering the system, and obtain the last recorded time of entering the system.

[0047] iii. Time difference calculation: Calculate the time taken for this startup and compare it with the previous startup times to determine whether there is any abnormality.

[0048] iv. Other records: record other logs to be recorded during this startup.

[0049] v. Automatic shutdown: After completing time recording and necessary log writing, the script triggers the device to shut down through system commands or calls the power management chip. (Note: The time for executing the shutdown command after startup should not be too short, leaving enough time to shut down the script, otherwise the system will shut down quickly and cannot be operated, and the cycle will continue. When it returns to normal, it can only be restored from the system).

[0050] vi. Log recording: Record the time taken for each startup, the time, whether it is abnormal, and other information in the log file for subsequent review and analysis.

[0051] d. Power management chip and software collaboration

[0052] i. Shutdown signal reception: The power management chip must be able to receive a shutdown signal from the system and immediately start timing to prepare for power off after receiving the signal.

[0053] ii. Power-on cycle: After the set power-off time ends, the power management chip automatically starts the power-on process to power the device for the next round of cycle testing.

[0054] III. Exception handling cycle: Timing starts from power-on. After a certain period of time, the power management chip automatically powers off to prevent startup abnormalities and not performing the next cycle, thereby performing the next round of cycle testing.

[0055] e. Data analysis and feedback

[0056] i. Regular analysis: Set up regular analysis tasks, parse log files, and count key indicators such as startup time and number of exceptions.

[0057] ii. Report generation: Generate a test report based on the analysis results, including startup time trends, exception records, etc., for reference by the development or testing team.

[0058] In summary, the test method for the power stability and startup performance of Linux devices provided in this application optimizes the test process through automation, improves test efficiency and accuracy, and comprehensively evaluates the power stability and startup performance of Linux devices under frequent power-on and power-off conditions.
