Question 1

What is EdgeGate?

Accepted Answer

EdgeGate is a hardware-in-the-loop CI/CD platform that runs automated regression tests on real Snapdragon devices through Qualcomm AI Hub. It provides deterministic CI gating with signed evidence bundles for edge AI deployments.

Question 2

How does EdgeGate test on real devices?

Accepted Answer

EdgeGate orchestrates test runs on physical Snapdragon chipsets via Qualcomm AI Hub. Your model is compiled and profiled on real hardware, capturing actual latency, accuracy, and thermal behavior that emulators cannot reproduce.

Question 3

What CI/CD systems does EdgeGate integrate with?

Accepted Answer

EdgeGate integrates with GitHub Actions and any CI/CD system that supports webhooks. A single YAML file configures the integration, and results appear as PR checks that can block merges on regression.

Question 4

What are signed evidence bundles?

Accepted Answer

Every EdgeGate test run produces a cryptographically signed evidence bundle containing SHA-256 hashes and Ed25519 signatures. This provides an auditable proof that your AI model was validated on real hardware — useful for team reviews and regulatory compliance.

Question 5

Is EdgeGate free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Playground plan is free and includes 10 runs per month on real Snapdragon devices. Paid plans (Pro at $49/month, Team at $149/month) offer more runs, additional features like flake detection, RBAC, and API access.

Question 6

Do I need my own Qualcomm AI Hub API key?

Accepted Answer

The Playground plan includes hosted device access — no AI Hub key required. Pro, Team, and Enterprise plans require your Qualcomm AI Hub API key, which gives you access to the full fleet of 50+ Snapdragon devices.
