CI/CD for Firmware Teams: How to Streamline Your Workflow
In the ever-evolving world of embedded systems, firmware teams are under constant pressure to deliver high-quality products more quickly and more efficiently. However, unlike web or mobile software development, firmware […]
Choosing a Continuous Integration (CI) compiler
Choosing the right Continuous Integration (CI) compiler is crucial because it impacts code quality, deployment reliability, and development velocity. A consistent compiler version and configuration ensure that the same source […]
Setting Up Automated Firmware Builds
Developers and managers can trust firmware releases by automating their build process.
How CI Pipeline Scripts and Exit Codes Interact
What is An Exit Code? An exit code, sometimes called a return code, is a number returned by a shell command or script. It tells the caller the status of […]
Setting up Jenkins for Embedded the right way (or not at all)
By: Brandon Leiran
Embracing continuous integration (CI) practices and tools makes embedded development smoother. Jenkins isn’t always the best choice for Embedded CI, but if you follow the 3 CI principles laid out in this article, you’ll start off well!

Featured Categories Our Engineers Security Embedded CI All Categories Recent Posts By: Aaron Fontaine Having a modern pipeline helps automate the tools you need to ensure high software quality and consistent results. Although the cost of setup is higher, once a modern pipeline (and corresponding practices)…
Hardware-in-the-loop is hard! Sometimes.
By: Ander Galisteo, Ph.D.
The concept of hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) is not new in the embedded space. The basic idea is to automate the functional tests of your device under development to verify if your implementation does what it’s supposed to do.
Using Docker for Embedded Development
By leveraging Docker images, development teams can completely specify and control the development environment without the overhead and bloat of an entire build machine, virtual or otherwise. These same images […]
Unit Testing For Embedded Software Development
By: Steve Branam
Unit testing uses small automated tests to drive development of embedded system code. Learn best practices for Test Driven Development (TDD), including writing and implementing successful unit tests to provide fast feedback and confidence in your code.
The Case for EmbedOps (Embedded DevOps)
From even before the first computer was working, the technology industry has been looking for the best way to write code. Today, as code “eats the world”, the types of […]
Simulators in EmbedOps: Another Reason DevOps is Beneficial to your Embedded Development Workflow
Arm is no stranger to DevOps or Continuous Integration (CI). They have several pipeline scripts available for Travis CI and outline how they use Jenkins to build and test Mbed […]
