Automated hardware testing using pytest
Pytest is a framework for testing and we use it for our Firmware SDK. This post reviews setting up fixtures that connect embedded projects to pytest.
Golioth Firmware SDK v0.11.0 is now available!
Golioth’s Firmware SDK (v0.11.0) pulls in recent versions of different ecosystems, allowing developers to target a wide range of custom hardware.
Storing Golioth credentials on the nRF9160 using TLS Tags
Nordic’s nRF9160 cellular modem includes a great peripheral called the Key Management Unit (KMU). This secure key storage mechanism lets you write keys to it which cannot be read back. However, they can still be used for DTLS authentication. In this video and blog post I’ll walk you through how to use the feature with […]
Zephyr Training is now Anytime, Anywhere thanks to Codespaces
For more than a year, Golioth has been hosting free Zephyr training. We’re going to keep doing that. But the news today is that you can learn from our Zephyr course anytime, anywhere using Codespaces. Ze…what? IoT devices usually need a real time operating system (RTOS) to handle the networking aspect of connecting things to […]
Understanding Golioth OTA Firmware Updates
Over-the-Air (OTA) firmware updates are table stakes for Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Once a device is in the field, OTA means you can make changes by updating the firmware remotely. The ability to update devices remotely is great, but that alone is the bare minimum of functionality. Options for targeting specific devices for each […]
We Added Cellular to the Hackaday Superconference Badge
Golioth attended the Hackaday Superconference in 2023 and created a “badge hack” to send images from a tiny embedded device up over a cellular network and display on badgecase.io.
Try Out Zephyr on Golioth’s Combined Firmware SDK
Golioth’s newest Zephyr support is now part of our cross-platform Golioth Firmware SDK. Yes, we have always supported Zephyr. This latest development includes our top-tier Zephyr offering alongside the other platforms we support–all in one single software development kit. We want to hear what you think of the new Zephyr support. Right now we’re in […]
Automatically Detecting Boards for Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Testing
Golioth is an IoT company that supports as much custom hardware as possible: a multitude of microcontrollers and many different connection types. This presents a challenge when testing on real hardware. We developed tooling that tests the Golioth Firmware SDK on actual boards. Known as Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing, it’s an important part of our CI […]
Free Zephyr Training is Two Weeks Away (October)
Zephyr is the fastest growing real-time operating system. If you’re not already using it, you should be! Now’s your chance, Golioth’s next training and the next session is just two weeks away. Join our free Zephyr training on October 25th at 9am Pacific time to get yourself up to speed. What Will I Learn? This […]
