On Saturday 14th May, RISC-V celebrated its 14th birthday.

In recent years, the RISC-V community has grown from a small team to thousands of members spanning 70 countries. RISC-V is also in over 13 billion devices in the market, across multiple industries and sectors.

To learn more about Codethink's work with RISC-V, access our blog post about the RISC-V kernel testing pipeline.

Fantastic to see such a good turn out at the Rust Manchester Meetup yesterday.

Two Codethings took to the stage, delivering interesting talks. Kiran Ostrolenk presented, "Introducing Rust CI for GitLab, a generic drop-in pipeline for Rust projects" and Will Salmon presented, "My open source camera, using rust with ffi and hardware."

We look forward to the next session.

Did you see our recent blog post?

We were recently asked by a client to write a 3-node distributed system in Rust, where each node runs a multistage pipeline in parallel and communicates with the other nodes throughout. The project ran to a short and tight schedule, with rolling deadlines by which pre-defined work packages had to be delivered.

The project was a success. Here are some of the lessons we learnt: https://buff.ly/3wt1CeI

In April last year, Codethink announced the Quality Assurance Daemon (QAD) tool: a lightweight Linux daemon designed to aid functional testing of software applications by interacting with the User Interface (UI) of an embedded system. We’ve recently made some enhancements to the tooling, and will be covering these in our latest blog post.
