Labgrid Hands-On Training at Embedded Recipes 2025
We are happy to announce that we are hosting a one-day version of our hands-on labgrid training at the Embedded Recipes in Nice, France. The workshop takes place on day three of the Embedded Recipes (16.05.2025) and is part of the workshop track. The workshop is free of charge, but registration is required.
In the light of regulations such as the CRA, automated system-level tests of complete embedded Linux devices get even more important. The open source project labgrid provides a toolbox for automated testing of a complete embedded Linux on the actual hardware. As a hardware abstraction, it closes the gap between remote control hardware and test code.
In this workshop will combine theory with practical exercises using labgrid on actual hardware at your desk. We will bring a labgrid lab and devices under test (DUTs) and cover the topics below:
- Architectural overview of labgrid
- The labgrid command line interface
- Use labgrid to write Python scripts that control the DUT
- Understand and extend strategies to transition the DUT into specific states
- Writing tests in pytest and run those on the DUT
Expect an interactive experience where we'll not only demonstrate labgrid's capabilities but also welcome your input and discussion. The training is aimed at beginner and entry-level labgrid users.
This training is also available as a two day on-site training. Check out our Labgrid Training Page.

Pengutronix at FOSDEM and OE Workshop 2026
On January 31st and Febuary 1st 2026 it is once again time for waffles, Belgian beer and Open Source: FOSDEM will take place at ULB in Brussels. With over 8k hackers, FOSDEM is the biggest and most important Open Source conference in Europe. One other event riding the wave of FOSDEM is the the OpenEmbeddedWorkshop. The full list of co-located events is here. We are participating in both FOSDEM and OE Workshop and are looking forward to many interesting discussions with developers of different Open Source software components – be it the Linux kernel, Yocto, Labgrid, Debian, and others...
You can buy RAUC and labgrid sponsor packages now
RAUC and labgrid are open source software projects started at Pengutronix, that are quite successful in their respective niche. Starting today you can buy sponsorship packages for both projects in the Linux Automation GmbH web shop, to support their maintenance and development.
GStreamer Conference 2025
This years GStreamer conference was held at the end of Oktober in London, UK. Since GStreamer is our goto-framework for multimedia applications, Michael Olbrich and me were attending this years conference to find out what's new in GStreamer and get in touch with the community.
Pengutronix at the Single Pair Ethernet Forum in Ludwigsburg
Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) is a set of new Ethernet standards in which communication works over a single pair of wires. Embedded Linux is ideally suited, especially for the smallest nodes connected via SPE. Pengutronix is a partner of this year's Single Pair Ethernet Forum in Ludwigsburg and will also be giving a presentation.
Talks, Workshops, Time at the Beach - Embedded Recipes 2025
I was part of a small delegation of Pengutronixians at the Embedded Recipes conference this year in Nice, France. We had a great time there, so let's take a look back at the great talks we have seen, the labgrid workshop we held and our time in Nice in general.
Pengutronix bei der Embedded Testing 2025
Unser Spin-Off Linux Automation ist in diesem Jahr Aussteller auf der Embedded Testing und ist dort sowohl mit einem Stand als auch mit einem Vortrag dabei. Für Pengutronix als Dienstleister für Embedded-Geräte in verschiedenen Industriebereichen ist Testing selbstverständlich. Dies kann in der Form von Tests in den jeweiligen Upstream-Projekten oder in der Form von Integrationstests eines vollständigen Embedded-Linux-Systems auf der Kunden-Hardware geschehen.
