What about the Cyber Resilience Act?¶
The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) requires security updates across the entire product lifecycle. Every kernel or firmware update has to be validated so the system still works — even when nothing else changed.
That turns updates into a recurring test burden: a duty that repeats for every patch, independent of how fast you release. LoopCheck is built to make that burden near-zero — the test suite is defined once and re-run automatically on every update.
What the CRA requires — and how LoopCheck helps¶
| What the CRA requires | How LoopCheck helps |
|---|---|
| Security updates across the whole product lifecycle | A test suite defined once, reused for every update |
| Every kernel/firmware update regression-tested | Automated regression inside your CI/CD pipeline |
| Documented evidence | A test report as a traceable artifact per run |
| A recurring duty, independent of release speed | Near-zero effort per update |
Why this fits LoopCheck so well¶
The CRA does not ask for a one-off validation — it asks you to keep proving, over years, that each security update leaves the device working correctly. Done manually, that is exactly the kind of repetitive bench work that grows with every release.
Because LoopCheck runs your tests automatically against real hardware on every commit, re-validating a firmware or kernel update is just another pipeline run — with a report you can keep as evidence.
Define the test suite once, and every future update re-validates itself.
This is exactly what the multi-channel motor control project does in practice: the test suite runs automatically on every commit, so each change is re-validated without manual bench work.
