pytest: Show a message when sandbox crashes
When a test hands on a real board there is no way on the console to obtain any information about why it hung. With sandbox we can actually find out that it died and get a signal or exit code. Add this to make it easier to figure out what happened. So instead of: test/py/u_boot_spawn.py:171: in expect c = os.read(self.fd, 1024).decode(errors='replace') E OSError: [Errno 5] Input/output error We get: test/py/u_boot_spawn.py:171: in expect c = os.read(self.fd, 1024).decode(errors='replace') E ValueError: U-Boot exited with signal 11 (Signals.SIGSEGV) Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
