Embedder is purpose-built for embedded systems:
-
Hardware-Aware: Understands microcontroller peripherals (GPIO, SPI, I²C, UART, ADC, DMA, timers, interrupts), memory constraints, and real-time requirements.
-
Documentation Intelligence: Indexes your datasheets, reference manuals, and schematics to generate code grounded in your actual hardware specs.
-
Real Hardware Integration: Connects directly with serial ports, debuggers, logic analyzers, and oscilloscopes to validate and debug on physical devices without switching tools.
-
Embedded Expertise: Deep knowledge of RTOS systems (FreeRTOS, Zephyr, ThreadX), low-level driver development, and MISRA-C/C++ compliance.
-
Cited Outputs: Every code generation includes inline references to specific datasheet sections, register definitions, and application notes.
Works with any embedded platform, including:
- MCUs: ESP32, STM32, nRF, Raspberry Pi Pico, Arduino, PIC, MSP430, and more
- Toolchains: GCC-ARM, GCC-RISC-V, IAR, Keil, LLVM, and vendor-specific compilers
- Build systems: PlatformIO, CMake, Make, Ninja
