Use cases
Ferqon in the real world
Self-hosted hardware testing for teams that need board workflows they can reproduce and audit.
Firmware and embedded teams
- The issue
- Every release is tested by hand on a real board, so results change depending on who runs them and what is sitting on their desk.
- What Ferqon does
- Ferqon runs the same build, flash, and test sequence from a version-controlled pipeline on any server.
- The payoff
- Each release is validated on physical hardware before it ships, and every engineer sees the same result.
Small labs and startups
- The issue
- Enterprise test benches cost too much, live in the cloud, and ask you to send device data off your network.
- What Ferqon does
- Ferqon runs on a lab gateway or a Raspberry Pi. Personal is free for 1 user and 1 active server. Device joins are unlimited.
- The payoff
- The lab gets real board coverage without a subscription, a cloud login, or a credit card.
Multi-device test benches
- The issue
- Scripts are written for one board at a time, so flashing and testing several devices turns into a coordination headache.
- What Ferqon does
- Board profiles detect the device automatically and share command definitions across the team.
- The payoff
- One pipeline drives every board in the rack, and the log for each flash and test run is stored in one place.
Remote device management
- The issue
- The hardware lives in one room and the people who need it work somewhere else.
- What Ferqon does
- Ferqon Server exposes devices over the network, and the web IDE plus CLI work from any laptop.
- The payoff
- Remote debugging and firmware flashing happen from a browser. No one has to ship a board across the country.
Compliance and audit
- The issue
- Regulated workflows need proof of who flashed what, when, and with which firmware image.
- What Ferqon does
- Audit logs and role-based access control record every privileged action without anyone editing the trail.
- The payoff
- Auditors get queryable flash, test, and auth history instead of spreadsheets and handwritten notes.
