Hardware is hard, and doing Contiuous Integration on hardware is even harder. In the software world, modern languages provide tooling to write tests. But how do you test hardware? You can run it in qemu, but what if your hardware is slightly different, or has some fancy new sensor attached?
Renode is an open software package from Antmicro. It makes emulating strange hardware configurations incredibly simple. This talk will introduce Renode, cover its finer points, and explain how to integrate it into a CI infrastructure.
