Intel net test suite for LwIP network stack

This project provides a test interface to esp32 network stack in order to execute standard set of Intel network test suite defined in TTCN3 framework.

Important notice

This is an internal ESP-IDF test and not a user project example

Execute net test suite

These network tests could be executed in both manual or automated mode in CI.

Note: TTCN3 engine works reliably only on Linux and Windows.

Setup TTCN3

  • Clone a repository https://github.com/intel/net-test-suites.git and install titan core as described in the README.md
  • Copy files esp32_netsuite.cfg and esp32_netsuite.ttcn (located in $IDF_PATH/components/lwip/weekend_test) to src subdir of the cloned repository net-test-suites
  • Rebuild the netsuite tests (according to README.md in net-test-suite) by executing source make.sh in src subdir

Build application

cd $IDF_PATH/examples/system/network_tests
idf.py build
idf.py -p PORT flash

Run test

Open two terminals (1) and (2)

  1. Start the test server which would pass packets from TTCN3 test suite into ESP32 board in $IDF_PATH/components/lwip/weekend_test
python net_suite_test.py
  1. Start test suite in TTCN3 environment in src subdir of the cloned repository net-test-suites.git
ttcn3_start test_suite esp32_netsuite.cfg

Internal connection

Purpose of this test is to execute standard network suite on a ESP32 network stack.

DUT, Device (Network stack in this case) under test, runs normally on target, but a specific interface with configured esp-netif for passing arbitrary data to and from the network stack. Embedded code net_suite.c implements an application which serves stdin/stdout and propagates the data to/from this test interface.

Standard Intel net suite executed by TTCN3 engine uses udp ports for input/ouput of network packets. Python script net_suite.py translates this communication from/to those udp ports to stdin/stdout, where after propagating over USB/UART to the ESP32 board are processed in the network stack (on the target).

Actual test execution, progress, evaluation and test reporting is done using standard net-test-suite scripts running on PC.
