CI/CD & Embedded DevOps
Continuous integration, on-target (HIL) automated testing, firmware build pipelines, signing, OTA. From development to production with no breaks.

The pipeline is your best QA engineer. It works 24/7 and it never gets tired.
What we set up
- Build pipelines: GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, multi-target builds, caching, parallelisation.
- Automated tests: unit (Ceedling, GoogleTest, Unity), integration, end-to-end.
- On-target testing (HIL): automated test benches, instrumentation, measurement, coverage on real hardware.
- Static quality: linters (clang-tidy, cppcheck), complexity analysis, standards (MISRA if required).
- Continuous delivery: signed artifacts, OTA firmware, progressive rollout (canary, rollback).
- Observability: structured logs, field telemetry, dashboards.
Who it’s for
- Firmware teams still compiling by hand or on one engineer’s machine.
- Projects where “works on my machine” costs weeks every release.
- Products in production with no reliable update path.
Typical engagement deliverables
- Initial audit (3-5 days): chain state, debt mapped, prioritised action plan.
- Minimum viable pipeline (2-3 weeks): automated build + unit tests, versioned artifacts.
- HIL benches (varies): bench design, pipeline integration, end-to-end tests.
- Handover: documentation, internal team training, no permanent dependency.
