???Improve Your Embedded Software Development with DevOps & CI Embedded software is tough—high stakes, specialized skills, and often overlooked by mainstream tools. But integrating DevOps practices, especially Continuous Integration (CI), can be a game-changer. Why CI Matters: ? Quick Bug Fixes ? Faster Time to Market ? Improved Quality ? Team Collaboration Why 4TLAS EmbedScale? ? Config Management ? Pipeline Management ? Automated Testing ? Scalability CI is essential for embedded development. With 4TLAS, you can streamline your process and deliver better software, faster. ?? #EmbeddedSystems #DevOps #CI #SoftwareDevelopment #4TLAS #EmbedScale

Some great stuff in here by Embedded Artistry, especially if you're in the IoT space and can push your deliveries to the field without acknowledgement or allowance by the end user. DevOps is the way to go in the #embedded space now. Are you ready? Are you using it? How are you handling automated test? Even in an IoT CD environment, mistakes are costly. If you can't use CD, how are you configiration managing the complex version matrix of multiple hardware version against multiple firmware images? Keep your product development team focused on what they're great at -- product development. Let 4TLAS handle the DevOps for you. #devops #embeddedsystems #embeddedsoftware #4tlas

???What is DevOps in HardTech Embedded Development???? DevOps often means different things to different teams. In the embedded systems realm, its definition and implementation present unique challenges. Are DevOps the IT department? The build fixers? The automation gurus? The confusion is even greater in the embedded device development world. In this article, we dive deep into what DevOps means for an embedded device development team and why these concepts are crucial for enhancing your team and its products. ???Key Highlights: * Formal Definitions: Clarifying what DevOps truly means * Challenges in Embedded Development * Using DevOps to Increase Speed, Quality, and Scale * The 4TLAS Approach Embrace the philosophy of "making the right thing to do the easy thing to do" and watch as development speed improves, product quality rises, and organizational scalability increases. ???Read the full article to understand how DevOps can transform your embedded development processes. #DevOps #EmbeddedSystems #Embedded #Automation #ContinuousIntegration #SoftwareDevelopment #4TLASTechnologies #4TLAS

Hey, embedded developers, are you using DevOps to its full capacity in your workflow? This helpful graphic shows a few things: 1. DevOps is a complicated world with a potpourri of open-source and commercial toolsets to understand, configure, manage, and operate. 2. The hardtech and embedded product development communities get left out in two critical areas: ?? A complete build framework targeted at the embedded software workflow. ?? An automated test framework that handles devices (ie, hardware-in-the-loop). Discontinuous Delivery of firmware for embedded systems requires deeply rooted configuration management starting at the build itself. Your firmware is likely a line item on the parts list (like a resistor). Ideally, you'll want a build framework that wraps around the tools you already use (GCC, cmake, make, etc); keeps all of the library dependencies, commitIDs, and other metadata associated with the image(s) build; and packages all of this information under a single source of truth version id that can be added to the parts list/manifest/etc. Knowing this versionID, which can also be embedded into the image itself for forensic analysis later, allows you to know exactly what went into this build and how to recreate it later if you need to fix bugs or otherwise start there and move forward. Discontinuous Delivery also requires an emphasis on pre-release, end-to-end system testing on the hardware itself. You'll want an automated test framework that can provision and manage your DUT farm with HiL, push your test image to the correct devices in the lab, serve up the proper test content, and control all of the external equipment necessary to perform the testing and acquire the results. DevOps is the way, but the DevOps community is mainly focused on Web and mobile worlds. Not 4TLAS. We're here to help you, the embedded systems developers. We see you.
