# Firmware test automation using real embedded devices

## Abstract
In this talk I am going to present my approach on testing embedded firmware that
using real hardware, because testing firmware in emulators drastically limits
what actually gets tested and it can quickly become very tedious to mock, fake
and set up environments for embedded firmware that needs to connect to cloud
services. The approach I am showing is going a different route: let the firmware
run on real hardware, and test its behavior. I will show how I implemented these
tests using Zephyr, and AWS but this solution can be applied in any environment
which cannot be run inside a test runner.
Here is how it looks like:

Key takeaways:
- Learn how to use GitHub Action Hosted Runners to execute firmware builds on
real target
- Have an idea which building blocks are needed to run tests
- Know which essentials to focus on: firmware-over-the-air updates
