test_custom_chips_boards

Multi-board validation suite for the Velxio Custom Chip system. These tests hit a running backend (the same uvicorn the frontend talks to) and assert that the integration works end-to-end on every supported board family.

Pre-requisites

• Backend running and reachable. By default the suite expects it at http://127.0.0.1:8765. Override with:

  export VELXIO_BACKEND_URL=http://localhost:8001
  

• WASI-SDK installed on the backend host (the /api/compile-chip/status endpoint reports this).
• Python deps: pip install httpx websockets pytest pytest-asyncio.

Running

From the repo root:

# All tests
pytest test/test_custom_chips_boards/ -v

# Just the compile-endpoint smoke (no QEMU needed):
pytest test/test_custom_chips_boards/test_compile_endpoint.py -v

# Just the ESP32 WS bridge E2E (requires QEMU running in backend):
pytest test/test_custom_chips_boards/test_esp32_gpio_bridge.py -v

Files

Test	What it validates
test_compile_endpoint.py	All 11 example chips compile via /api/compile-chip and produce valid WASM
test_esp32_gpio_bridge.py	An ESP32 sketch can exchange GPIO events with the WebSocket — the same path a custom chip would use

Why "validation" not "integration"

Custom chips run inside the browser for AVR, RP2040 and ESP32-C3. There's no Python runtime that can host them. So this suite tests the parts that do live on the backend (compile endpoint, ESP32 QEMU GPIO bridge), and the browser-side AVR coverage stays in the JS sandbox at test/test_custom_chips/.
