Test Adapter

1. Introduction​

This page describes a Test Adapter-based provisioning workflow focused on structured controller testing. It is intended for production engineers and integration teams who need repeatable test execution and clear pass/fail traces.

For approach selection and method comparison, see Provisioning overview. This page focuses only on Test Adapter method details.

2. Core reference documentation​

The central reference for this method is the Test Adapter documentation PDF:

  • [Test Adapter Documentation (V1.40 / V1.43.0)](./End of Line%20Test%20Adapter%20Documentation%20V1.40%20(V1.43.0).pdf)

Use this PDF as the primary reference for adapter/API behavior, test endpoints, and execution details.

Additional background context:

  • [Configuration, End-of-Line Testing and Firmware Update Installation (v1.0)](./End of Line_Configuration_and_Testing_1.0.pdf)

3. Configuration with test adapter application​

For partial and fully automated medium and large-scale production, a test adapter application can be transferred and started on the RAM drive of the Charge Controller via SSH/SCP.

You will receive the test adapter application by contacting your technical account manager or by email.

  1. Open a terminal in the directory that contains ta_End of Linet_stripped.

    Copy the stripped End of Line test app to the controller
       scp -O ta_End of Linet_stripped root@192.168.123.123:/tmp/ta_End of Linet_stripped

    Expected output:

    root@192.168.123.123's password:
    ta_End of Linet_stripped

    The test adapter is now placed on the Charge Controller for execution.

  2. To access the test adapter via the Config UI, execute the ta_End of Linet_stripped file on the Charge Controller.

    Connect to the Charge Controller
    ssh root@192.168.123.123

    Expected prompt:

    root@192.168.123.123's password:

    Make the file executable:

    chmod +x /tmp/ta_End of Linet_stripped

    Start the test adapter:

    /tmp/ta_End of Linet_stripped

    When started, the application stops the Controller software application.

  3. Open the test adapter interface at http://192.168.123.123:8888.

    Through this interface, all hardware functions of the Charge Controller can be tested together with connected peripherals.

tip

Some settings, such as the Master/Slave configuration, require the Controller software to interpret the newly applied configuration and perform a reboot to activate it. As a result, two reboots are necessary to fully apply the setting after the configuration process.
