When we are using microcontrollers, it is because we wish to interact with the world in some way. Whether this be reading sensor data or driving motors. This means relying on things like emulators or virtual devices of limited use because we are not using real world data.

[Beetlebox @beetleboxtech]

Here at Beetlebox, we are real Raspberry Pi enthusiasts. Check out our new article on how to automate them.

[Beetlebox @beetleboxtech]

In this article, we will be explaining what CI is and why we wish to combine it with our Picos. We will explore the problems, we encountered and the general approaches we took to solving them.

[Beetlebox @beetleboxtech]

Naturally, when used in a professional setting, we need to ensure that our systems are regularly tested and that the hardware is accessible across the team. Using Continuous Integration (CI) stops developers needing to repeat the repetitive tasks required to test hardware.

[Beetlebox @beetleboxtech]

The Raspberry Pi Pico is a micro-controller that has been gaining popularity amongst hobbyists and professionals alike thanks to its low cost and ease of programming.

[Beetlebox @beetleboxtech]

In this article, we are going to expand on that theme and talk about how TDD can benefit the #iot as a whole.

[Beetlebox @beetleboxtech]

In a recent tutorial we wrote at Beetlebox, we explored Test Driven Development (TDD) for Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology. We wrote a small section on what TDD is and how it could benefit FPGA designers.

[Beetlebox @beetleboxtech]

In this post, we explore how developers can succesfully create a CI system and what can be achieved. 3/n

Continuous Integration (CI) as a software practise has seen mass adoption within the software engineering world. CI is a development practise that enables developers to regularly and automatically build, test and deploy their applications. 1/n

[Beetlebox @beetleboxtech]

Such a technology sounds great for Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). Yet adoption has remained limited. Automating FPGAs is much a more difficult task than software.

[Beetlebox @beetleboxtech]

1. Use the right tools and interfaces
2. Expect failures and have robust logging
3. Use automation and continuous integration (CI)
4. Enable devices to automatically flag issues
5. Have robust over-the-air (OTA) updates

[Beetlebox @beetleboxtech]

The challenge developers face when debugging IoT devices is far greater than what regular software engineers face. Most software engineers will be working with servers or desktops that have a consistent internet connection and plenty of storage.

[Beetlebox @beetleboxtech]

Debugging hardware can be a challenging task with IoT devices as there is a lack of consistent connections and devices that have limited performance. There are several tips and tricks that can make it easier. Here are some strategies to try out:
