If your image is already built, make sure the following are set

+ You can then export the tests with the following BitBake

- $ bitbake core-image-sato -c testexport
+ $ bitbake image -c testexport
Exporting the tests places them in the
Build Directory in
- tmp/testexport/core-image-sato, which
- is controlled by the
+ tmp/testexport/image,
+ which is controlled by the
TEST_EXPORT_DIR variable.
You can now run the tests outside of the build environment:
+ $ cd tmp/testexport/image
+ $ ./runexported.py testdata.json

+ TEST_TARGET_IP = "192.168.7.2"
