	We describe our Jenkins-based continuous integration system and Debian packaging methods, and their application to the rapid development of the ChimeraTK framework. ChimeraTK is a C++ framework for control system applications and hardware access with a high level of abstraction and consists of more than 30 constantly changing interdependent libraries. Each component has its own release cycle for rapid development, yet API and ABI changes must be propagated to prevent problems in dependent libraries and over 60 applications. We present how we configured a Jenkins-based continuous integration system to detect problems quickly and systematically for the rapid development of ChimeraTK. The Debian packaging system is designed to ensure the compatibility of binary interfaces (ABI) and of development files (API). We present our approach using build scripts that allow the deployment of rapidly changing libraries and their dependent applications as Debian packages. These even permit applications to load runtime plugins that draw from the same core library, yet are compiled independently.

Our approach to integrating this framework and libraries with Yocto, a popular open-source project for building custom Linux distributions, will be discussed. We will show how we leverage Yocto’s flexibility and extensibility to create a customized Linux image that includes our FPGA drivers and tools, and discuss the benefits of this approach for embedded development. Finally, we will share some of our best practices for board bring-up using our framework and library, including tips for debugging and testing. Our experience with FPGA-based board bring-up using ChimeraTK and Yocto should be valuable to anyone interested in developing embedded systems with FPGA technology

We describe our Jenkins-based continuous integration system and Debian packaging methods, and their application to the rapid development of the ChimeraTK framework. ChimeraTK is a C++ framework for control system applications and hardware access with a high level of abstraction and consists of more than 30 constantly changing interdependent libraries. Each component has its own release cycle for rapid development, yet API and ABI changes must be propagated to prevent problems in dependent libraries and over 60 applications. We present how we configured a Jenkins-based continuous integration system to detect problems quickly and systematically for the rapid development of ChimeraTK. The Debian packaging system is designed to ensure the compatibility of binary interfaces (ABI) and of development files (API). We present our approach using build scripts that allow the deployment of rapidly changing libraries and their dependent applications as Debian packages. These even permit applications to load runtime plugins that draw from the same core library, yet are compiled independently.
