That sounds quite interesting. Thanks for the information, I'll definately be
looking further into building this with DejaGnu then.

We plan to have about half a dozen boards, so hopefully I can avoid having my
job description changed on me. ;)

In that case, I will try to coordinate our development so that at the end of
the day we have a generic, customizable framework for automating the testing.
I will also be glad contribute documentation both about the framework we'll be
developing and also other aspects of DejaGnu (for instance I already have a
short introduction to DejaGnu I'm writing for internal use that I'll share
when it's done).
Thanks for the quick reply and the info!
