The Problem with Embedded Development Today
If you’re building embedded systems, you already know the pain: Friday night releases that mysteriously work on one machine but not another. Fragile build environments, flaky hardware-in-the-loop test setups, and zero traceability after code is shipped. 4TLAS, with their Fuse toolset, has built a solution that tackles all of this—and more.
What Is the Fuse Toolset?
4TLAS’s Fuse toolset is built around three pillars: Fuse Build, Fuse Test, and Fuse Deliver. Together, they create a seamless experience for embedded developers to build, test, and ship code faster, more reliably, and with complete traceability.
Fuse Build: Reproducible, Reliable Builds
Fuse Build eliminates the “it works on my machine” syndrome. It creates guaranteed reproducible builds by saving all metadata tied to your firmware or software, including toolchains, commands, dependencies, and even the OS. Everything is tagged with a unique Fuse ID, acting as a single source of truth. You can rebuild anything, anytime, with zero guesswork.
Fuse Test: Real Hardware-in-the-Loop, CI/CD-Ready
Many embedded teams run hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) tests—but often with fragile, homegrown scripts that break easily. Fuse Test standardizes this entire process. It works like a macro recorder for your testbench, capturing real lab actions and automating them at scale. It’s compatible with custom tools and removes the need for specialized coding skills in QA.
Fuse Deliver: Trace Everything You Ship
Ever shipped a firmware build and forgotten what was actually sent? Fuse Deliver solves that forever. With full traceability baked in, you’ll always know what was delivered, to whom, and when. You can recompile the exact build—even years later—with full confidence. No more “What did we send?” moments.
Why It Matters
The Fuse toolset doesn’t just streamline embedded workflows—it changes how teams think about testing, compliance, and deployment. It brings DevOps-style practices to embedded systems without the complexity. For engineers used to juggling toolchains and test rigs, this is a game-changer.
