Boot test is one of the cornerstone of OpenBMC test infrastructure.

The boot plugins are used in the test and as well can be use a stand-alone mechanism to test your system to run variety of supported boot sequences.

**Boot test sequence example:**

```
robot -v OPENBMC_HOST:xx.xx.xx.xx  -v 'boot_stack:<boot1>:<boot2>:<bootn>:' extended/obmc_boot_test.robot
```
Where <bootx> is the supported boot type listed in the [data/boot_lists/All](https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc-test-automation/blob/master/data/boot_lists/All)

**Example:**
```
robot -v OPENBMC_HOST:xx.xx.xx.xx  -v 'boot_stack:Redfish Power On:Redfish Power Off' extended/obmc_boot_test.robot
```

and it will give the following on the console the boot test report:

```
