Key benefits of CI/CD DevOps for embedded systems
Leveraging agility
- Software transparency: Know what is in your software, and how it is built.
- Continuous improvement: CI/CD suited to your workflow and evolving to fit to your teams’ needs and foster improvement.
- Frequent releases: Automated processes allow releasing every individual software increment and thus increase productivity.
- Shorter software lifecycle: Each feature can be released when it’s ready and validated, accelerating your development cycle.
Ensuring quality at every stage
- Static analysis: Set up of specific tools, refining the configuration and rules to fit your project’s environment and languages for static code analysis.
- Security check: Through automated CVE analysis, security scans, secrets management.
- Unit and functional test integration: Either emulated, simulated or run on actual test farms, leveraging embedded software test automation for higher software quality.
Enabling traceability & compliance
- Reproducibility: By using a reproducible environment, you can ensure the repeatability of your build processes and ensure buildability on the long-term of your project’s maintenance.
- Dependency management: Keeping track of your dependencies from availability, security and compliance, is key to bring confidence and compliance in your project.
- Releases: With automated release management, you can ensure trust in your products by knowing what updates you introduced between releases and by listing all the used dependencies in your SBOM.
Optimizing processes and costs
- Cost vs. features: Specifying all stakeholders needs and requirements to choose the right CI/CD tools at the right price.
- Anticipating: Even the smaller choice can have a huge impact on the usability or expenses of your project in the long run or when your needs and device fleet grow.
- Scalability: Some parts of your projects may require some very specific or powerful infrastructure to run them (like building a Yocto image for instance).
- Performance: Choosing the right pattern to optimize speed up your build time.

FAQ: CI/CD for Embedded System
How does a CI/CD pipeline for embedded systems differ from traditional software?
A CI/CD pipeline for embedded systems presents unique challenges and considerations compared to traditional software. Unlike cloud or desktop applications, embedded systems often have limited resources, specialized hardware, and require cross-compilation. The CD pipeline for embedded solutions must account for flashing firmware onto physical devices, conducting automated testing on real hardware or emulators, and managing over-the-air (OTA) updates securely in a production environment. Our DevOps teams specialize in configuring CI/CD tools and workflows that address these specific constraints, ensuring robust continuous integration and continuous delivery for your hardware-dependent projects.
What is the role of automated testing in CI/CD for embedded systems?
Automated testing embedded software is a cornerstone of a typical CI/CD pipeline embedded systems. It involves integrating various types of tests – from unit tests and integration tests to functional and system tests – directly into the CI/CD workflow. For embedded systems, this often includes setting up hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) or software-in-the-loop (SIL) simulations, or utilizing test farms with actual embedded devices. By automating testing, we ensure that every code change is rigorously validated immediately, catching bugs early in the development cycle, improving software quality, and accelerating the path from source code to deployed to production with high confidence.
