It's not in gitlab's CI infrastructure, but I have continuous integration set up in a private server for https://gitlab.com/specbranch/r5lite and also for my company's proprietary hardware.
Ya and I've seen similarly basic support in small IP houses that support Verilator alongside whichever proprietary suite the house uses.
Is there a need here? Are there IP design houses that are so bad at CI infrastructure that "we run Verilator for you" is a value add?
I don't mean to denigrate the OP, just wondering what the market is. Undergrads build this stuff and let me tell you my undergrads are not a particularly talented group.
When you are trying to design high performance IP, you are often trying to ensure that your design is mathematically correct, inputs and outputs are matching a complicated 100 page specification. You are also trying to parse out the minimum set of workable requirements for "version 1" all with fitting into utilization constraints that ultimately are undefined.
Your mindset is really split. "Building up a software dashboard" to visualize your test results is really the last thing on your mind. You definitely don't want to be building the dashboard for all your customer's platforms.
Having somebody (a company) help on this front is really useful.
As a non-website designer, I used to think the same of tools like netlify, but they seem to be popular as ever, especially in a collaborative workspace when you need to handoff a project from one team to the next.
