DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nChrome OS has a six-week release cycle. In the wild
 \, there are devices from a dozen manufacturers and hundreds of different 
 models and configurations. This presents an interesting testing problem (o
 nce you "brick" your first school district with an update you never want t
 o do it again). The Chromebook hardware thus extends the hooks used for br
 ing-up and debugging to enable automation in the test lab\, and more recen
 tly we adapted this to RMA and in-store returns. I will discuss the evolut
 ion of the debug system over the last 9 years.\n\nBio:\nMark Hayter is cur
 rently a visitor from industry with the Computer Architecture team in the 
 Computer Lab. He is Sr Engineering Director in the Chrome OS Hardware team
  at Google. The team is responsible for reference implementations and deve
 loping new technologies for Chromebooks. Prior to that he was involved in 
 systems architecture at several semiconductor companies\, being VP of Syst
 ems Engineering at P.A. Semi\, Inc. (acquired by Apple Inc.)\, Senior Mana
 ger of Hardware Systems Engineering at Broadcom Corporation and System Arc
 hitect at SiByte\, Inc. Earlier\, he was at the Digital Equipment Corporat
 ion Systems Research Center. He holds a PhD from the University of Cambrid
 ge Computer Laboratory.
