Turn your software engineers into firmware engineers

Lager is the open-source hardware test platform that lets any Python developer control real instruments, flash firmware, and run hardware-in-the-loop tests.

How it works

Plug in your Lagerbox

Connect a Lagerbox to your test equipment

Configure your Setup

Create named connections (nets) for your instruments

Write Tests

Control hardware with Python scripts or CLI commands

Integrate with CI/CD

Automate hardware tests in GitHub Actions

How Lagerbox Compares

Built for embedded and test engineers, not vendor lock-in.

Why Lager

Catch Real World Bugs

Simulation catches the easy bugs. The hard ones (timing, power, peripherals, edge cases) only show up on real silicon. Lager lets every engineer on your team run firmware on real hardware, on every commit, without manual hardware testing.

Why Lager

Find Issues Faster

Test hardware on every commit, not just when the lab is free. Your software engineers catch firmware regressions in minutes, not days.

Why Lager

Every engineer on your team, talking to real hardware

No more gatekeeping the one oscilloscope. No more "works on my bench." Every SWE on your team connects to a Lagerbox from their laptop over the network or VPN. Scale from one box on a desk to dozens across labs.

What Lager Offers

Tools For Automating Tests

Control power supplies, oscilloscopes, debug probes, UART, I2C, SPI, GPIO, and more. One CLI, one Python library. Designed so any Python developer can write a meaningful hardware test on day one.

What Lager Offers

Open-source infrastructure you actually own

Lager is Apache 2.0 licensed and open-source. Self-host the box on your own Linux machine, inspect every line of the driver code, fork it, contribute back. No SaaS dependency, no per-seat pricing on the open-source core, no data leaving your network.
