We are excited to announce our participation in one of Europe’s most influential open-source events. Amarula Solutions at FOSDEM 2026 represents a vital opportunity for us to share our passion for technical excellence and to foster increased contribution and innovation within the global community.
The event will take place from January 31st and February 1st, 2026, in Brussels. For us, FOSDEM is more than just a conference; it is a collaborative hub where we can push the boundaries of what is possible in the embedded world.
Our Featured Talk: Redefining Embedded CI/CD
This year, we are proud to present a technical session that bridges the gap between software automation and physical hardware.
- Talk: CI/CD with Gerrit, AI-Enhanced Review, and Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing in Jenkins Pipelines
- Presented by: Engineer Michael Nazzareno Trimarchi
In this presentation, we explore advanced CI strategies specifically designed for open-source embedded systems. Moving beyond simple software testing, we will demonstrate how to integrate Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) validation using Jenkins and Labgrid. Amarula Solutions has years of experience in Continue Integration and contribute to Jenkins ecosystem and lead the gerrit AI review plugin.
Key highlights include:
- Automated Workflows: Triggering system-level tests on physical devices directly from Gerrit code reviews.
- AI-Powered Debugging: Utilizing AI for error explanation to drastically reduce debugging time.
- Quality Gates: Implementing the Warnings-NG plugin to ensure the highest standards of code quality.
Attendees will walk away with practical insights into building robust, AI-driven pipelines tailored for modern, high-quality embedded development. Don’t miss the chance to engage with Amarula Solutions at FOSDEM 2026 during this session.
