Enhancing Embedded Development with Ruby

on YouTube ↗40m

" summary

A working embedded test pipeline that uses rake to build C firmware for a PIC18F2480 (40 MHz, 16 KB flash, 768 bytes RAM) and runs about two dozen system tests against a real board over the CAN bus. Ruby provides glue: continuous integration server, sister drivers, minilab and PAN C extensions, an Argent code generator, and a mock generator called cach; unit tests run in a simulator, system tests flash the actual binary, and the customer verifies the numeric outputs.
