Overview

Forged is a manufacturing and device provisioning tool. It is designed to be a swiss army knife of the embedded manufacturing process.

Some notable features:

• Forged.dev tracks and stores data associated with every device manufactured, including:

  • User-provided parameters (such as serial numbers)
  • Measured values (such as voltage measurements performed during testing)
  • Queried values (such as chip UUIDs and MAC addresses programmed by chip manufacturers)
  • Generated values (such as device-specific calibration coefficients generated from other parameters)
  • Logs associated with the provisioning process

• Forged.dev provides cloud-based storage and retrieval of released firmware images, which allows:

  • Automated incorporation of firmware releases directly into manufacturing processes
  • A single source for firmware delivery to any number of distributed machines
  • Tracking of firmware statistics over time, such as flash utilization rates
  • Tracking of all released firmware variants
  • Associating specific firmware releases with specific devices

• Forged.dev provides an adaptive GUI for the device provisioning process

  • GUI adapters to the project parameters to automatically follow a provisioning process

• Forged.dev supports formal requirements and manufacturing testing

  • Data collected during the provisioning process is automatically checked against specified requirements to determine passing and failing units automatically.
