Station runtime
Multiple lanes
Run independent programmers on one jig and coordinate shared DUT steps.
A station can define multiple lanes when a jig has more than one programmer. Each lane has a named programmer and its own stage plan. HTF can show progress for each lane while keeping the work attached to the same DUT run.
The station repository's two simulated programmer sample uses this shape:
programmers:
- name: ble_programmer
kind: simulated
- name: cellular_programmer
kind: simulated
lanes:
- name: ble
programmer: ble_programmer
- name: cellular
programmer: cellular_programmer
plans:
- lane: ble
stages:
- name: Flash BLE application
kind: simulated_programmer
message: flashing BLE application
- lane: cellular
stages:
- name: Flash modem firmware
kind: simulated_programmer
message: flashing modem firmware
Each lane must use a different programmer. Where one action depends on another lane, declare the prerequisite on the dependent stage:
- name: Flash validation firmware
kind: simulated_programmer
message: flashing validation firmware
after:
- lane: ble
stage: Flash BLE application
outcome: passed
The dependent stage waits for the named BLE stage to pass. Test the complete plan with simulated programmers before connecting real hardware, especially where stages share power, serial ports, or a DUT state.
