Download Enabling Cloud Native Hardware in the Loop for Edge devices — in the datacenter, lab and development environment!
Jumpstarter helps you test your software stack in your hardware stack in CI/CD pipelines and streamline your development workflow. Where traditional cloud software has been testing this way for a long time now, testing software for edge devices has been a challenge, in many cases emulators for the hardware are not available , the GPU, the specific sensors, etc.
Jumpstarter helps you test your software in the real hardware, and eliminates the need for manual test operations.
This is a free and open source project, currently being developed by Nick Cao and Miguel Ángel Ajo from Red Hat ET and Kirk Brauer from Hyundai America Technical Center.
Automate testing
Jumpstarter lets you test your hardware with the power of
You can use simple Python scripts, but you can also write regular python tests with your favorite testing framework.

Test harnesses / interfaces
The Jumpstarter project provides a set of drivers to build your perfect test harness, we aim to support a wide range of hardware and interfaces.
You can use a Raspberry Pi as your test harness, or you can use other SBCs or comercially available test harnesses.
We also created a USB based test harness, the DUTLink board which provides storage/power/console/gpio control over an SBC. Jumpstarter provides a driver for the DUTLink board.
