Building a Yocto Pipeline with KAS, GitHub Actions and AWS

Building a Yocto Pipeline with KAS, GitHub Actions and AWS

Using KAS makes handling Yocto Projects easy. By shipping its own container with all needed dependencies, building sophisticated CI pipelines becomes pretty easy - in theory, or when using Gitlab. But using GitHub as a code hosting platform with self-managed Action runners on AWS comes with a set of unexpected challenges.
Anna-Lena will talk about her quest through GitHub Actions, the Cloud and how to tame them. The talk aims to point the audience to the obstacles when building CI pipelines for the Yocto Project with KAS, GitHub Actions, and custom action runners on AWS and strategies to handle them.

  • Yocto Project Summit 2023.11, virtual, 2023

Organizing My Desk as an Embedded Engineer

As an embedded dev, my desk is always a mess (and I think the ones of my colleagues, too). Working with real hardware leads straight to a number of boards, additional debuggers, tools, cables and more. And of course, as the most developers, I have a number of work projects and another of private ones. Even worse, I’m working from home for a good share of my time, so both kinds contribute to the mess there. Managing this is a constant effort and fight, but rarely successful.

Embedded World 2024

While I’m a regular visitor of the Embedded World Exhibition, this year was different. I had not only a more business-focused visit with lots of meetings with old and new partners and customers, but I also had the chance to serve rather spontaneously as a speaker, or better “Table Captain,” at the second edition of Embedded World’s women networking event #women4ew. Thus, I want to recap both parts separately and make a reference to what changed in contrast to my experiences outlined in the recently published post on International Women’s Day.
