+Sandbox block devices (implementation)
+======================================
+
+(See :ref:`sandbox_blk` for operation)
+
+Sandbox block devices are implemented using the `UCLASS_HOST` uclass. Only one
+driver is provided (`host_sb_drv`) so all devices in the uclass use the same
+driver.
+
+The uclass has a simple API allowing files to be attached and detached.
+Attaching a file results in it appearing as a block device in sandbox. This
+allows filesystems and whole disk images to be accessed from U-Boot. This is
+particularly useful for tests.
+
+Devices are created using `host_create_device()`. This sets up a new
+`UCLASS_HOST`.
+
+The device can then be attached to a file with `host_attach_file()`. This
+creates the child block device (and bootdev device).
+
+The host device's block device must be probed before use, as normal.
+
+To destroy a device, call host_destroy_device(). This removes the device (and
+its children of course), then closes any attached file, then unbinds the device.
+
+There is no arbitrary limit to the number of host devices that can be created.
+
+
+Uclass API
+----------
+
+This is incomplete as it isn't clear how to make Sphinx do the right thing for
+struct host_ops. See `include/sandbox_host.h` for full details.

Test dm_test_rtc_reset failed 3 times
+Isolating a test that breaks another
+------------------------------------
+
+When running unit tests, some may have side effects which cause a subsequent
+test to break. This can sometimes be seen when using 'ut dm' or similar.
+
+You can use the `-I` argument to the `ut` command to isolate this problem.
+First use `ut info` to see how many tests there are, then use a binary search to
+home in on the problem. Note that you might need to restart U-Boot after each
+iteration, so the `-c` argument to U-Boot is useful.
+
+For example, let's stay that dm_test_host() is failing::
+
+ => ut dm
+ ...
+ Test: dm_test_get_stats: core.c
+ Test: dm_test_get_stats: core.c (flat tree)
+ Test: dm_test_host: host.c
+ test/dm/host.c:71, dm_test_host(): 0 == ut_check_delta(mem_start): Expected 0x0 (0), got 0xffffcbb0 (-13392)
+ Test: dm_test_host: host.c (flat tree)
+ Test <NULL> failed 1 times
+ Test: dm_test_host_dup: host.c
+ Test: dm_test_host_dup: host.c (flat tree)
+ ...
+
+You can then tell U-Boot to run the failing test at different points in the
+sequence:
+
+ => ut info
+ Test suites: 21
+ Total tests: 645
+
+::
+
+ $ ./u-boot -T -c "ut dm -I300:dm_test_host"
+ ...
+ Test: dm_test_pinctrl_single: pinmux.c (flat tree)
+ Test: dm_test_host: host.c
+ test/dm/host.c:71, dm_test_host(): 0 == ut_check_delta(mem_start): Expected 0x0 (0), got 0xfffffdb0 (-592)
+ Test: dm_test_host: host.c (flat tree)
+ Test dm_test_host failed 1 times (position 300)
+ Failures: 4
+
+So it happened before position 300. Trying 150 shows it failing, so we try 75::
+
+ $ ./u-boot -T -c "ut dm -I75:dm_test_host"
+ ...
+ Test: dm_test_autoprobe: core.c
+ Test: dm_test_autoprobe: core.c (flat tree)
+ Test: dm_test_host: host.c
+ Test: dm_test_host: host.c (flat tree)
+ Failures: 0
+
+That succeeds, so we try 120, etc. until eventually we can figure out that the
+problem first happens at position 82.
+
+ $ ./u-boot -T -c "ut dm -I82:dm_test_host"
+ ...
+ Test: dm_test_blk_flags: blk.c
+ Test: dm_test_blk_flags: blk.c (flat tree)
+ Test: dm_test_host: host.c
+ test/dm/host.c:71, dm_test_host(): 0 == ut_check_delta(mem_start): Expected 0x0 (0), got 0xffffc960 (-13984)
+ Test: dm_test_host: host.c (flat tree)
+ Test dm_test_host failed 1 times (position 82)
+ Failures: 1
+
+From this we can deduce that `dm_test_blk_flags()` causes the problem with
+`dm_test_host()`.

+host command
+============
+
+Synopis
+-------
+
+::
+
+ host bind [-r] <label> [<filename>]
+ host unbind <label|seq>
+ host info [<label|seq>]
+ host dev [<label|seq>]
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The host command provides a way to attach disk images on the host to U-Boot
+sandbox. This can be useful for testing U-Boot's filesystem implementations.
+
+Common arguments:
+
+<label|seq>
+ This is used to specify a host device. It can either be a label (a string)
+ or the sequence number of the device. An invalid value causes the command
+ to fail.
+
+
+host bind
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+This creates a new host device and binds a file to it.
+
+Arguments:
+
+label
+ Label to use to identify this binding. This can be any string.
+
+filename:
+ Host filename to bind to
+
+Flags:
+
+-r
+ Mark the device as removable
+
+
+host unbind
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This unbinds a host device that was previously bound. The sequence numbers of
+other devices remain unchanged.
+
+
+host info
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+Provides information about a particular host binding, or all of them.
+
+
+host dev
+~~~~~~~~
+
+Allowing selecting a particular device, or (with no arguments) seeing which one
+is selected.
+
+
+Example
+-------
+
+Initially there are no devices::
+
+ => host info
+ dev blocks label path
+
+Bind a device::
+
+ => host bind -r test2 2MB.ext2.img
+ => host bind fat 1MB.fat32.img
+ => host info
+ dev blocks label path
+ 0 4096 test2 2MB.ext2.img
+ 1 2048 fat 1MB.fat32.img
+
+Select a device by label or sequence number::
+
+ => host dev fat
+ Current host device: 1: fat
+ => host dev 0
+ Current host device: 0: test2
+
+Write a file::
+
+ => ext4write host 0 0 /dump 1e00
+ File System is consistent
+ 7680 bytes written in 3 ms (2.4 MiB/s)
+ => ext4ls host 0
+ <DIR> 4096 .
+ <DIR> 4096 ..
+ <DIR> 16384 lost+found
+ 4096 testing
+ 7680 dump
+
+Unbind a device::
+
+ => host unbind test2
+ => host info
+ dev blocks label path
+ 1 2048 fat 1MB.fat32.img
+
+
+Return value
+------------
+
+The return value $? indicates whether the command succeeded.

+ut command
+==========
+
+Synopis
+-------
+
+::
+
+ ut [-r<runs>] [-f] [-I<n>:<one_test>] [<suite> [<test>]]
+
+ <runs> Number of times to run each test
+ -f Force 'manual' tests to run as well
+ <n> Run <one test> after <n> other tests have run
+ <one_test> Name of the 'one' test to run
+ <suite> Test suite to run, or `all`
+ <test> Name of single test to run
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The ut command runs unit tests written in C.
+
+Typically the command is run on :ref:`arch/sandbox/sandbox:sandbox` since it
+includes a near-complete set of emulators, no code-size limits, many CONFIG
+options enabled and runs easily in CI without needing QEMU. It is also possible
+to run some tests on real boards.
+
+For a list of available test suites, type `ut` by itself.
+
+Each test is normally run once, although those marked with `UT_TESTF_DM` are
+run with livetree and flattree where possible. To run a test more than once,
+use the `-r` flag.
+
+Manual tests are normally skipped by this command. Use `-f` to run them. See
+See :ref:`develop/tests_writing:mixing python and c` for more information on
+manual test.
+
+When running unit tests, some may have side effects which cause a subsequent
+test to break. This can sometimes be seen when using 'ut dm' or similar. To
+fix this, select the 'one' test which breaks. Then tell the 'ut' command to
+run this one test after a certain number of other tests have run. Using a
+binary search method with `-I` you can quickly figure one which test is causing
+the problem.
+
+Generally all tests in the suite are run. To run just a single test from the
+suite, provide the <test> argument.
+
+See :ref:`develop/tests_writing:writing c tests` for more information on how to
+write unit tests.
+
