Earlier this month, one of our Codethings, Mudit Sharma presented a talk titled "Testing in a Box - Streamlining Embedded Systems Testing with Open Hardware" at #SOOCON2024. If you missed out, you can now watch the recording here: https://buff.ly/3OOucxt
In April last year, Codethink announced the Quality Assurance Daemon (QAD) tool: a lightweight Linux daemon designed to aid functional testing of software applications by interacting with the User Interface (UI) of an embedded system. We’ve recently made some enhancements to the tooling, and will be covering these in our latest blog post.

Codethink has been developing a number of tools and processes in order to automate as much of the testing pipeline for embedded systems as possible. Now we have put all that together, in a single piece of hardware! https://www.codethink.co.uk/articles/2023/testing-in-a-box-blog/
We've been actively working on a kernel testing pipeline for different hardware. We use open source tools like LAVA and OpenQA to verify and automate the process. We just expanded our testing environment to include one more architecture: RISC-V

We will be attending the Kernel Recipes conference in Paris next week. If you want to learn more, then make sure you speak to a member of our team.
In March, we attended the #AutomotiveGradeLinux AMM in Berlin to present some new innovations for full system #testing using #FOSS.
The video of our talk is now up; you can check it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ch0VNtZPy2w
We're strong believers in #OpenSource software and #OpenHardware. Recently, we released the designs for a USB-C switching device which we developed for use in hardware testing rigs.

You might have heard us use the term "Long Term Maintainability". In this article, we explain what it means and why it's important: https://www.codethink.co.uk/articles/2023/ltm-2023/
<p>Once upon a time, you could design and build a device, flash a well-engineered firmware onto it and support it for 20 years, with minimal changes to the core software. Those days are over. A new approach is needed to provide long-term support for devices while managing the complexity of today’s embedded software stacks.</p>
