What is Fernsteuerung?

fernsteuerung.io turns your distributed board inventory into a unified, accessible Private Device Cloud. Orchestrate power, serial consoles, and firmware flashing via a modern Web UI or robust API - compatible with your existing CI/CD pipelines.

We bring your local hardware lab to the cloud, offering a unified, stable environment that makes working with real hardware more efficient and scalable.

Simple Setup

Up and Running in Minutes

Three steps from bare hardware to a fully managed remote lab.

1

Connect Your Hardware

Plug your board into a host machine. Install the lightweight node agent.

2

Register on Fernsteuerung

Add the device to your dashboard. It auto-syncs config and comes online instantly.

3

Control Remotely

Power cycle, flash firmware, and access serial consoles from your browser or CI pipeline.

Features

Built for the Modern Embedded Workflow

Remove the friction between your code and your hardware.

Real Hardware
True Hardware Fidelity

Validate on real silicon, not in QEMU. Catch the race conditions, timing issues, and driver bugs that emulation never shows you.

Local Execution
On-Premise Execution

Your boards never leave your network. The node agent runs on your own hosts, right next to the hardware. fernsteuerung.io handles auth, leases, and orchestration.

Hardware Agnostic
Hardware Agnostic

No vendor lock-in. TI AM62x and AM64x, NXP i.MX 8M and i.MX 9, ST STM32MP, Raspberry Pi, or your own custom PCB. If it has a serial port and a power line, we can manage it.

Remote Control
Full Remote Control

SSH only works once Linux is up. Power-cycle a bricked board, watch U-Boot and the kernel come up over serial, and flash a fresh image via SD-Mux or USB mass storage, from your browser or a single API call.

Resource Management
Resource Reservation

No more “who has the board?” Reserve a device for an interactive session or lock it for an automated job. Leases expire on their own, so a forgotten reservation never blocks the nightly run.

CI/CD Integration
CI/CD Native

Every action is an API call. Drop fernctl into Jenkins, GitLab CI, or GitHub Actions and give every pipeline a real board: flash, boot, test, release.
