+rusEfi firmware development model is "stable master". We do not have release branches, we only have master with 
+continues integration and *limited* automated testing.
+
+By default, each Pull Request is expected to be complete and expected to not break existing functionality.
+If a Pull Request is a work-in-progress or draft or not intended for merge yet, it should be clearly marked with "[WIP]" prefix in the title.
+
+Pull Requests which are not complete, not marked WIP or fail gate check should be closed to reduce a chance of confusion.
+It is usually helpful to discuss proposed changes prior to Pull Requests - we have Slack to collaborate and coordinate so let's use!
+
+
+
+TODO: we have an urgent need to make gate check more reliable & expand what's included into gate check
+
+The primary hardware platform for rusEfi is stm32f4 - as of November 2019, only stm32f4 has hardware test continues integration.

+This configuration
+1) builds bootloader from firmware/bootload just to validate that it builds (TODO: extract to separate job?)
+1) compiles two versions of F4 version of firmware - with and without asserts, _fast_ and _debug_.
+1) flashes _debug_ version of F4 into stm32f4discovery and runs a suite of tests against it. The source code
+of tests is embedded into rusEfi console by the way (TODO: nicer UI for console to test F4 outside of Jenkins?)
