Create DroidControlShip-only hardware commissioning test application

[gabryelreyes]

Develop a minimal DroidControlShip-only application for commissioning and validating new hardware revisions.

The purpose of this application is to provide a simple, repeatable way to verify that a board is functioning correctly before broader software bring-up. It should exercise both internal and external hardware interfaces and make it easy to confirm correct operation either directly on the board or with external test equipment such as a logic analyzer.

Requirements

• The application must run on all supported hardware versions.
• The implementation should remain minimal and focused, avoiding unnecessary complexity.
• It should test and/or validate the following interfaces where available:
  • USB
  • UART
  • SPI
  • LEDs
  • GPIOs
  • Buttons
• Each test should provide a clear indication of success/failure.
• Tests should be designed so that correct behavior can be verified:
  • visually on the board,
  • through logs/console output,
  • or through observation with external tools such as a logic analyzer.

Expected outcome

• A dedicated commissioning application that can be flashed onto new boards.
• A straightforward way to determine whether the board is operating correctly and whether its interfaces communicate properly with the external world.
• Consistent behavior across all hardware revisions.

Acceptance criteria

• A single DroidControlShip-only test application exists for board commissioning.
• The application runs on all hardware versions currently supported.
• All listed interfaces are exercised with observable behavior.
• Test results are easy to interpret during bring-up and hardware validation.
• The application is minimal and suitable for repeated use during manufacturing, bring-up, or lab validation.
