Shorten your feedback cycles for long-lasting products.

Engineer your infrastructure for reliable, long-living products with Cidoka™

Develop, test, and operate complex, long-lasting products using reproducible environments, automated testing infrastructure, and scalable hardware-in-the-loop systems.

Embedded hardware test platform used for automated validation and continuous testing in CI/CD pipelines.
  • CI/CD for embedded systems
  • Reproducible NixOS-based development environments
  • Integrated software lifecycle management
  • Get certification ready with our battle-tested solutions

The problem isn’t your tools. It’s your feedback cycle.

Supporting and evolving long-living products becomes difficult when testing is delayed, hardware access is limited, and development environments are not reproducible.

  • Testing happens too late in the process
  • Hardware access slows validation and iteration
  • Builds and environments are hard to reproduce
Cidoka Methodology

Hand software quality ownership back to the engineers

Cidoka™ combines "CI" and "Jidoka": immediate issue detection, preventing faulty code from progressing and maintaining quality.

Built to be verified

Integrate automated testing and real hardware validation directly into your development workflow.


  • CI/CD for embedded systems with automated builds and test pipelines
  • Remote hardware testing with on-demand device access
  • Reduced reliance on manual QA processes

Built to be reproducible

Ensure every build, test result, and environment is consistent, versioned, and reproducible.


  • Reproducible builds and development environments with Nix/NixOS
  • Declarative system configurations across dev, test, and production
  • Traceable test results and versioned system states
  • Elimination of environment drift and “works on my machine”

Built for long-term operation

Maintain secure, reliable systems with full lifecycle visibility and long-term control.


  • Software Lifecycle management for long-living products
  • Dependency tracking and CVE management for embedded Linux
  • Controlled system evolution and maintainability over time
  • Modern, safe, and secure development tooling (Rust)

  • Shortening feedback cycles

    Detect problems early and fix them immediately.

  • Every change can be a release

    Avoid special release processes and keep every change deployable.

  • Supported by automation

    Fast and reliable results, reducing the need for manual QA steps.

REPRODUCIBLE FOUNDATION

Every code change can be a release

Through reproducible builds, validated test results and a traceable system state

Use case: Veridos

Automating hardware-dependent tests for passport readers

Automated & Scalable Hardware Testing

Passport reader tests run remotely and consistently across global locations, enabling efficient testing at scale.

Reduced Time & Cost

Shortened test cycles and minimized hardware expenses increase overall efficiency.

Virtualized Infrastructure

Through virtualization we enabled to test several passport scanners on one PC simultaneously.

Seamless CI/CD Integration

Easily integrates into existing pipelines for continuous and automated testing workflows.
