By name: bringup-log-entry description: "Use when appending factual checkpoints to BRINGUP_TEST_LOG.md after firmware build/flash/deploy/probe runs. Keywords: bringup log, append test result, PASS FAIL INFO entry, command artifact breakpoints conclusion, bringup_log_append.sh."
Bring-up Log Entry
Purpose
Append concise, factual test-session entries to the repository bring-up log using the existing helper script.
Primary Targets
- docs/debug/BRINGUP_TEST_LOG.md
- software/nanoFramework/toolchain/bringup_log_append.sh
When To Use
- After a build/flash/deploy/probe run where outcome should be recorded.
- After transport diagnostics (SWD/UART) to preserve reproducible evidence.
- When converting ad hoc terminal output into a standard PASS/FAIL/INFO entry.
Workflow
- Collect run facts from terminal history and artifacts:
- result category: PASS, FAIL, or INFO
- one-line conclusion
- command summary
- artifact path(s)
- breakpoint list (if relevant)
- optional note
- Validate that conclusion is factual and non-speculative.
- Call the helper script with explicit flags:
- ./toolchain/bringup_log_append.sh --result ... --commands ... --artifact ... --conclusion ...
- include --breakpoints and --note when available
- Confirm the append succeeded and report the timestamped heading added.
Output Format
- "Log append: SUCCESS" or "Log append: FAILED"
- Entry summary:
- timestamp
- result
- conclusion
- any missing fields intentionally omitted
Guardrails
- Never rewrite or reorder prior log history.
- Keep conclusions short and evidence-based.
- Prefer one entry per coherent test run.
- If required fields are missing, ask for only the minimum needed facts (result, commands, artifact, and conclusion).
