CI/CD Pipeline for Embedded I2C Simulation using Jenkins & Docker

This project simulates I2C acknowledgment signals from multiple devices with a full CI/CD DevOps pipeline using Jenkins, Docker, and Python. PDF waveform reports are generated post-simulation.

Technologies:

• Jenkins Pipelines with Groovy
• Docker multi-stage builds
• Python-based I2C simulation
• Waveform and PDF export
• Slack/email stub notifications
