DevOps, Reimagined for Embedded

Overview

End-to-End DevOps for Embedded Systems

Traditional DevOps practices assume cloud-based, virtualized environments. However, embedded environments are beset with hardware-in-the-loop, real-time constraints, niche tools, and code that must meet stringent regulatory standards. This creates long feedback loops, manual testing cycles, and delays in delivery.  

That’s where we come in. We automate pipelines, accelerate code releases, reduce manual work, and increase predictability. We use tools like Git, Svn, Jenkins, VectorCAST, VtestStudio, CANoe, MATLAB, Codebeamer and proprietary compilers like GHS and Tasking, to integrate seamlessly with your environments. We also develop for the entire lifecycle, including version control, continuous integration, testing, and release.

Case Study

Most DevOps providers know software.

We know software that runs on hardware.

We help embedded software teams implement DevOps pipelines that work for their unique hardware-software integration needs.

Our Services

We implement DevOps pipelines specifically tailored to embedded software-hardware integration. Our expertise spans across regulated domains (Aerospace, Defense, Automotive) ensuring compliance, automation, and traceability.

DevOps Consulting & Strategy

Our DevOps Consulting & Strategy services help embedded organizations assess their current DevOps capabilities, create a tailored roadmap, and optimize their toolchain to streamline development, testing, and deployment. This service includes:

  • DevOps Readiness Assessment –
    This assessment evaluates the current state of your embedded DevOps processes and tools, identifying gaps, inefficiencies, and opportunities for improvement. We analyze integration points, testing workflows, hardware dependencies, and compliance requirements.

    Tools used: IBM ELM, PTC CodeBeamer, Polarion for lifecycle management, and Atlassian Jira for project tracking.
  • Roadmap Design & Toolchain Optimization –
    We design a customized roadmap to help you transition to a more efficient and automated DevOps environment. We also optimize your existing toolchain to ensure alignment with best practices, compliance standards, and support for continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD).

    Tools used: Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, and Bitbucket for version control and continuous integration.

CI/CD for Embedded Systems

Our CI/CD services for embedded systems focus on automating the build, integration, and testing workflows to ensure rapid and reliable software delivery without compromising on hardware requirements. It includes:

  • Automated Build & Integration Pipelines –
    We set up automated build and integration pipelines to speed up development cycles, reduce human error, and ensure that code is integrated regularly and seamlessly. These pipelines help test embedded code in real-world scenarios.

    Tools used: Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, VectorCAST, CANoe.

  • Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Integration –
    HIL integration is crucial for testing embedded systems in real-time environments. We simulate the interaction between hardware and software, testing the system as it would behave in production.

    Tools used: CANoe, dSPACE, Wind River Studio for real-time systems, MATLAB/Simulink for model-based testing.

  • Physical Test Environment Integration –
    We integrate physical testing environments into your CI/CD pipelines, allowing testing on real hardware setups to validate system behavior under realistic conditions.

    Tools used: MATLAB, Simulink, VectorCAST, dSPACE.

Test Automation & Quality Assurance

Our Test Automation & Quality Assurance services ensure that embedded software is thoroughly tested for quality, reliability, and performance by automating critical test processes. It includes:

  • Static & Dynamic Code Analysis –
    We apply both static and dynamic analysis to uncover issues early in the development lifecycle, improving code quality and ensuring system reliability. Static analysis helps identify potential flaws without running the code, while dynamic analysis validates code execution under real-time conditions.

    Tools used: PC-Lint, VectorCAST, LDRA, Polyspace.

  • Code Coverage, Unit, Integration, and System Tests –
    We ensure complete test coverage by automating unit, integration, and system tests so every line of code is validated. This improves reliability, reduces bugs, and accelerates development cycles.

    Tools used: Jenkins, VectorCAST, Simulink, MATLAB.

  • Test on Target Hardware, Emulators, or Simulators –
    Our approach validates embedded systems on real target hardware, emulators, or simulators to replicate real-world usage and uncover hardware-specific issues.

    Tools used: RTRT, OTE, LDRA, dSPACE, CANoe.

Compliance & Security Integration

We integrate compliance and security within your DevOps pipeline to ensure that embedded systems meet industry standards and remain secure from vulnerabilities at every stage of development. Our service includes:

  • Security Scans in CI/CD –
    We integrate automated security scans within CI/CD pipelines to detect vulnerabilities early in the development cycle, reducing the risk of security breaches in production.

    Tools used: Fortify, SonarQube, AppScan, Polyspace.

  • SAST/DAST Integration –
    We integrate Static Application Security Testing (SAST) and Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) into the DevOps pipeline, ensuring vulnerabilities are identified during development as well as in runtime environments.

    Tools used: SAST tools (SonarQube, Fortify), DAST tools (AppScan).

  • ALM Integration for Traceability & Standards Compliance –
    We ensure end-to-end traceability across the embedded systems lifecycle by integrating ALM tools to support standards compliance such as ISO 26262 and DO-178C.

    Tools used: IBM ELM, PTC CodeBeamer, Polarion.

Monitoring and Logging

Our Monitoring and Logging services ensure full visibility into your embedded systems’ development and runtime environments. This helps detect anomalies early and maintain operational excellence.

  • We implement centralized systems for monitoring and logging, making it easier to track and troubleshoot embedded systems’ performance across teams and locations. This improves overall system reliability and enables proactive issue resolution.

    Tools used: Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana), Splunk.

  • With a tailored mix of tools and methodologies, our DevOps for Embedded Systems approach accelerates development cycles, enhances software quality, ensures compliance with industry standards, and maintains system security. By automating repetitive tasks and integrating real-time testing environments, we deliver a scalable and efficient DevOps pipeline tailored to the unique needs of embedded systems.
