Hi Michal, I agree with you about the security side.
In fact my initial idea was using Raspberry Pi to do it using uhubctl see: https://github.com/mvp/uhubctl (at bottom of page there are many projects using it) with a 16 port USB HUB. This way we could turn ON/OFF up to 16 boards and flash it over USB (it will require a board with usb programming/flash support like stm32f4discovery or raspberrypi-pico). But then I think we could "eat our dog food", we can use ESP32 with NuttX and flash turn ON/OFF and flash other boards. Something similar what this project does: https://vcon.io/automated-firmware-tests/ BR, Alan On Thu, Jul 18, 2024 at 5:25 PM <michal.lyszc...@bofc.pl> wrote: > Hi > On 2024-07-18 16:14:20, Alan C.
