I know this was discussed on IRC, but just for documenting on the
mailing list, you can use the following, as an example, to run all the
tests from file boot_linux_console.py:

build/tests/venv/bin/avocado run build/tests/acceptance/boot_linux_console.py

Or, if you want to run a specific test:

build/tests/venv/bin/avocado run
build/tests/acceptance/boot_linux_console.py:BootLinuxConsole.test_sh4_r2d

I'll send an update to the documentation explaining the above.

Regards,

Willian
