The automated system that builds the firmware and drivers on every change, runs static analysis and tests on virtual platforms, emulation or hardware, and reports results before code is merged.
Source Work product in the Firmware and software stack lifecycle
It catches build breaks, rule violations and regressions within hours of a change. Defects otherwise accumulate unseen, integration becomes a painful event before each release and pre-silicon readiness cannot be shown.
The full lifecycle detail, with its charts, flows, tables and every section, is for registered members. Registration is free and takes a minute. You come back to this page afterwards.
