Abstract

Python has become a versatile tool in firmware and software automation, enabling efficient development and testing workflows across various industries. Its simplicity, extensive libraries, and cross-platform support make it ideal for automating tasks like firmware flashing, version verification, and hardware communication. This paper explores real-world applications of Python in firmware and software automation, including integrating serial communication protocols, streamlining build and deployment processes, and implementing test frameworks for embedded systems. It highlights how Python's ecosystem enhances productivity by reducing manual intervention, improving error detection, and ensuring consistency in automation pipelines. Case studies from industries such as automotive, energy storage systems, and IoT illustrate Python's role in advancing firmware and software reliability.
