Embedded Manager¶

The Embedded Manager is the firmware build interface within ToloMEO. It allows engineers to trigger firmware builds against a target model, monitor the build pipeline, and promote successful artifacts to OTA delivery.

Build lifecycle¶

A build goes through the following stages after it is triggered:

1. The build pipeline starts
2. If necessary signing approval requests get sent to entitled users/machines
3. The firmware is built, signed, and tested
4. Artifacts and test results are uploaded in a secure cloud environment
5. The build is marked complete and available for review

From the build detail view, a successful build can be promoted to an OTA release, which registers it as a valid firmware version on the target PMS Model. See the OTA Release flow for the full delivery sequence.

A completed build SBOM can also be flagged for tracking inside the Cybersecurity module. See the SBOM Tracking flow for the upload, triage, and reporting steps.

Build paths¶

When starting a new build, the user selects a model and then chooses between two paths:

Preconfigured path

A streamlined flow for DAVE handled vertical repositories. The user selects a firmware version and triggers a build against a known, locked repository. Suitable for standard production and reproducible builds.

Customized path

A full configuration flow for custom firmware. The user selects a base image to start from, then customizes it with specific settings or a custom application, and optionally enables board
