Rebooter Issue analysis

[andylu]

Hi Passmark,

AAEON has a boot test which use Passmark rebooter. The criteria as below

Test Name: Power On/off under OS
Tool: Passmark Rebooter + Power On/off fixture.
Pass condition:Rebooter counts 500 times, which's the same as fixture. If they all have 500 times then Pass or fail.
OS: Win7/Win8.1/Win10

First, we tried the OS with drivers or without drivers version. but we still got fails in 20th~50th times
Second, we saw the Rebooter hang, timing delay 1 second or no smooth start (Please refer to attachment)
Third, we executed the msconfig service item closed and we got a better result (Count till 441 times then fail) (Please refer to attachment)

Finally, we consider the CPU performance to impact test result. We cross checked baytail (E38xx, N28xx, J1xx) all series products then fail.
Do you have any suggestion about the Rebooter tool. Is it reasonable to match Power On/off count time by Rebooter/Fixture at the same time?
What’s the reasonable count gap between fixture & Rebooter?

What is "fixture" in this context?
What is the "count gap between fixture & Rebooter"?

If you are referring to the 30sec delay, then did you try making it longer, e.g. 60 sec?
It is hard for us to judge the adequate time, as we don't know how long the machines are taking to fully boot and start up their services.
