AMENDMENT CI/CD for embedded development with an ESP8266, Arduino-cli, Gitlab-ci, Raspberry Pi, and Kubernetes

Blink a LED with gitlab-ci and arduino-cli

Track: Hardware Enablement devroom
Room: K.4.401
Day: Sunday
Start: 12:30
End: 13:00

Blink an ESP8266 board via an arduino-cli CI/CD pipeline hosted on Gitlab.com, with Kubernetes, and a Raspberry-pi board.

WARNING: This replaces the "MCU Immutable Booting" talk from Michael Schloh von Bennewitz, which was canceled since the speaker could not attend FOSDEM due to a lack of financial sponsorship. It was about protecting microcontroller bootloaders with immutable boot.

In this live demo, I will show how to blink an ESP8266 board via a CI/CD pipeline hosted on Gitlab.com. Gitlab-ci is connected to a stripped down Kubernetes cluster (K3S fork) hosted on a local raspberry-pi board, to which we have attached an ESP8266 board. I will explain how to use the new Arduino CLI instead of the Arduino IDE.
