A few months ago, while working on embedded and industrial automation projects, we noticed something frustrating.
The problem wasn't writing firmware.
The problem was everything around it.
Open a datasheet. Search through documentation. Ask an AI assistant for help. Hit a rate limit. Wait. Lose context. Repeat.
If you're building firmware for STM32, ESP32, PLC integrations, Modbus gateways, or IoT devices, you've probably experienced the same thing. Modern AI tools are incredibly useful for embedded development, but they were largely designed around software engineering workflows—not firmware engineering workflows.
