Hardware teams moving faster
Across early-access pilots, firmware teams used Embedd to shorten bring-up and limit manual register-level work. Here are the workflows and outcomes they reported.
How teams use Embedd
Board bring-up
With a new board revision, engineers can avoid writing peripheral register access by hand. Embedd produces the HAL in minutes, so the team can work on application logic instead of offset tables.
Replacing a chip
When supply problems require a component swap, Embedd creates a driver for the replacement chip. Teams can check register compatibility and revise application code without rewriting everything.
Generation in CI
Engineer and Team users can connect the Embedd CLI to CMake or GitHub Actions. Each build regenerates driver files from a locked chip identifier, removing the need to maintain headers by hand.
Pilot feedback
"A sensor became unavailable, so we replaced it mid-sprint. Embedd produced the new driver in about four minutes. After checking it against the datasheet, we merged it and resumed integration testing that afternoon. Normally, it would take two days."
"The C99 output is remarkably clean. Bitfield widths and reset values matched the datasheet exactly for both chips. We made it a CMake pre-build step, so drivers are now generated when needed instead of stored in version control."
"We are a three-person team, and none of us wanted to spend a week creating GPIO and UART drivers for a new MCU. Embedd covered STM32 and nRF52 in one session. The included unit test stubs were an unexpected bonus."
Results from early-access pilots
Teams reported these metrics across varied bring-up and chip-swap work in the early-access program.
