Eliminate the Complexity of Embedded Device Testing
Prove your hardware just works, from early silicon bring-up to global upstream validation. Linaro runs the automation stack behind KernelCI, LKFT and ONELab, and we can run it for you.
- +0 400 different devices supported by LAVA
- +0 7 Linux distributions ONELab boots on your platform
- +0 40000 kernels built per month across Linaro CI
The True Cost of Hardware Validation
In modern embedded systems, shipping the hardware is only half the battle. Proving your devices work reliably across software ecosystems is where the money goes.
-
The Duplication Tax
You fix the same bugs over and over across different hardware implementations. Every board variant repeats work your team has already done once.
-
Engineering Overhead
Private labs and bespoke software forks slow you down. Senior engineers lose 15 to 25% of their time to lab plumbing rather than product work.
-
Compliance Pressure
The EU Cyber Resilience Act and its peers demand verified, up-to-date security out of the box, across your whole stack and continuously, not once at launch.
Recognise any of these in your own CI ?
Most teams know exactly which of the four is costing them most. A 30 minute conversation is usually enough to size the problem and tell you whether automation is the answer.
Arrange a Discussion About Optimising Your CI/CDThe Unified Linaro Automation Stack
A seamlessly integrated remote lab solution that combines hardware appliances with cloud orchestration and deep ecosystem integration.
-
Linaro Automation Appliance (LAA)
An all-in-one embedded device testing harness that hosts your Devices Under Test for remote testing, replacing the cable clutter, USB hubs and programmable PDUs.
Zero-touch validation
Ships pre-registered and ready to connect. No local software installation.
Egress-only security
A zero-trust model requiring only outbound HTTPS. No inbound firewall rules, so your lab network stays closed.
Private DUT network
Fully isolated dual Ethernet networks to connect your target devices safely.
-
LAVA Managed Services and the Linaro Hub
Our cloud-based technology for embedded integration and test orchestration, accessible through the Linaro Solutions Hub.
Global fleet management
Manage fleets of LAAs across sites and regions from one place.
Identity and access
Orchestrate users through SPIRE identity management, and switch appliance roles without touching the hardware.
-
ONELab: Continuous Interoperability
ONELab removes the complexity of SystemReady certification by proving your platform boots generic, off-the-shelf kernels from more than seven major distributions, including Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora and Alpine.
Automatic re-verification
Integrated with the LAA, ONELab re-checks your platform against each new OS and firmware release rather than at a single point in time.
What Teams Actually Use It For
-
GitLab Runner Integration
Put your board directly into a GitLab pipeline. Push code, open a merge request, and it is tested on the real device automatically.
-
KernelCI Pull-Labs
Continuous upstream kernel testing with no infrastructure to manage. kci-runner boots and tests kernels on your hardware and reports to the KernelCI dashboard.
-
LAVA Worker Expansion
Add a device to any LAVA instance. Connect it, configure it in LAVA Managed Services, and start submitting jobs.
-
Secure Remote Access
Host your device anywhere, in a lab, on a desk or on customer premises, and grant encrypted, permission-gated console access to developers or customers anywhere in the world.
Let your customers test on your silicon without shipping a board
Remote lab access turns your hardware into something a customer can evaluate the same day, instead of six weeks after the courier.
Engage Your Customers With a Virtual LabPlans & Pricing
Scalable paths from a single desk to a global fleet. Start where the pain is and grow into the rest.
-
The Gateway
The LAA hardware appliance for localised, hands-off automation. One box, your devices, no lab rebuild.
-
The Orchestrator
Managed LAVA Managed Services, giving your teams full fleet management and test scheduling across sites.
-
The Enterprise Fleet
A dedicated LAVA Managed Services setup for full-scale hardware integration across global deployments.
