Course Overview

This enhanced DASA DevOps Fundamentals course delivers the complete standard DASA curriculum while adding a full day of embedded-specific content not found in conventional courses. You’ll receive thorough preparation for the official DASA certification exam plus practical knowledge for applying DevOps in hardware-software environments.

Beyond the standard DASA modules on DevOps culture, automation, and collaboration, this course adds embedded-specific challenges: How do you implement CI/CD when builds take hours? How do you achieve continuous delivery when deployment means reflashing firmware? How do you maintain DevOps velocity with hardware dependencies? You’ll learn practical solutions including hardware-in-the-loop testing, cross-compilation automation, managing multiple toolchain versions, and adapting Agile practices for teams dealing with PCB fabrication cycles and safety certifications.

Learning Objectives

  • Master DevOps transformation principles and their business impact in hardware-software environments
  • Build collaborative DevOps culture across ME/EE/SW engineering silos
  • Apply automation strategies for cross-compilation, HIL testing, and firmware deployment
  • Integrate DevOps with Lean and Agile while coordinating with hardware development cycles
  • Establish meaningful metrics for both software delivery and embedded system performance
  • Adapt CI/CD pipelines for multiple target architectures and long build times
  • Balance DevOps velocity with safety certification and compliance requirements
  • Manage toolchain versioning, licensing constraints, and OTA update strategies
