Starting with C
Okay, time to start unit tests!!! We will use Unity Test Framework to do unit testing. It is one of widely used testing frameworks alongside with Check, Google Test etc. Just downloading source code, and putting it to the project folder is enough to make it work (that is also why it is portable).

Just in case: Debian Bookworm comes with a buggy GCC
Updating GCC (it happened to GoogleTest).

Automatically run tests, formatters & linters with CI!
Roy's project uses Google Test, a C++ testing framework. His testing setup is similar to mine as we both keep source files in one directory and tests in another. The key difference is that I can run the tests using the Visual Studios run button. It was fairly easy to write the new tests as there were existing ones that I could reference to check the syntax!

C++ Unit Testing Using Google Test - My Experience
The Google Test Documentation provides a primer for first-time users. The primer introduces some basic concepts and terminology, some of which I've been able to learn for this lab exercise.

CI/CD pipelines for embedded
Not sure about CppUnit but I can speak to my previous experience using the googletest framework which compiles your tests to an executable, and since it's a very simple framework we were able to cross-compile and run directly on our device. We just had to hook up a device to the server that was running the CI so it could flash it when needed. That basically meant that our process was:

Like seriously why does not one does it ?
Only cool framework in my opinion. I wish I had the guts to delve so deeply into Variadic Macros.

Unit testing C++ SDK using Cpputest lib in STM32
You can use GoogleTests. Also, if you have C functions which need to be mocked, you can try using the FFF framework along with with gtest.

commonly used c-unit testing framework in 2022?
I use Unity Fixtues + FFF + CException framework.

Relative Newbie to Linux Command Line
For news reading, surely, I'd go with newsboat, perfect for this. Newsboat also fetches Odysee and Youtube channels, and you can integrate mpv to it to watch the videos. No ads, nothing. For file manager, I'm using fff, very minimal and relatively easy to configure.

Also recommend checking out fff.

What techniques do you have to develop before hardware is available?
Everything else was covered: Ceedling+Unity+CMock for Unit Testing in C, CppuTest or GoogleTest or other options for C/C++. FFF is also useful when mocking. If you test and develop your modules correctly, they should when they are in your application. If you are developing using an Event-Driven Framework like QP or QML, then I would not test anything to do with the framework, but the functions that are called in each event. Same thing if you are using an RTOS, test what's inside your threads/tasks.
