Anyone have a favored (probably nix-based) setup for doing CI-like builds for and tests on an embedded system? Eg, I build and push to a separate box for running tests. I feel like maybe hercules-ci could do this, but I’m not familiar with it.

Maybe I'm just used to the pain of having no tools, but what do you need besides rsync + ssh?

You’re right, really. I’m not sure if I should cross compile or build on the target. The last time I used cross compilation with nix was maybe two years ago, and I’m not sure how it’s changed since.

Can't say. I rolled my own buildroot Nix wrapper a couple of years ago and that was a real pain. Mostly doing bare metal these days, where the firmware reload + board reset is all custom scripts triggered from the incremental build. I use NFS when possible (pull instead of push).
