Early Beta First batch shipping to developers

Your AI agent can finally take firmware from code to real hardware.

AI-powered hardware-in-the-loop development for embedded developers. AI HIL lets your agent write, flash, test, and fix firmware on a real board — on its own.

Meet AI HIL

A quick look at the idea — AI writes the firmware, AIHIL LINK closes the loop on real hardware.

Why AI HIL

AI writes firmware in minutes. Testing it takes days.

AI can generate embedded code fast — then the real work begins at the bench. AI HIL closes the loop between AI-generated code and real hardware.

Today
Days of manual bench work
  • Wire up a debugger, scope, and logic analyzer by hand
  • Flash, run, and capture waveforms manually, every cycle
  • Find a bug, feed it back to the AI, and start over
→
With AI HIL
A hands-off, automated loop
  • AIHIL LINK flashes the firmware automatically
  • It runs tests and captures logs & waveforms
  • The AI analyzes the results, fixes the code, and retests

How it works

Up and running in three steps

No new workflow to learn. Install, plug in, and prompt your agent.

1

Install the MCP server

One command gives your AI agent hardware-control abilities.

$ npm install -g @aihil/mcp-server
2

Connect AIHIL LINK

Plug in over USB — one cable links the device to your board and PC.

$ USB connected → AIHIL LINK ready
3

Prompt your agent

Describe your target and wiring once, then let it run — the AI writes, flashes, tests, and fixes.

Capabilities

One device for the whole loop

Everything your agent needs to treat hardware like software.

Automatic flashing

Push firmware straight to the chip over SWD/JTAG — no manual steps each cycle.

Live debug

Read registers and set breakpoints in real time, so the AI can reason about the chip.

UART signal output

Send UART test signals to drive the target during a run. (More signal types are on the roadmap.)

Log + waveform capture

Capture serial logs and signal waveforms together for the AI to analyze and fix.

AIHIL LINK

Replaces a whole bench of tools

AIHIL LINK brings the key test-and-debug operations into one compact, AI-connected device.

  • Flasher & debugger (CMSIS-DAP, SWD/JTAG)
  • 8-channel logic analyzer (up to 24 MS/s)
  • Serial monitor with 21 protocol decoders
  • UART signal output
  • — in one device your AI controls

Under the hood

Specs at a glance

AIHIL LINK integrates a DAPLink flasher, an 8-channel logic analyzer, and a serial monitor — over a single USB cable.

Flash & debug

  • CMSIS-DAP v2 (compatible v1)
  • SWD (2-wire) / JTAG (5-wire)
  • SWCLK up to 5 MHz, 3.3 V I/O
  • .bin / .hex / .elf / .axf · readback verify

Logic analyzer

  • 8 channels, up to 24 MS/s
  • Input range −0.5 V to +5.25 V
  • Up to 300 s continuous capture

Serial monitor

  • USB CDC virtual serial
  • Baud up to 4 Mbps
  • Auto crash-log detection — HardFault / panic / assert (11 types)

Protocol decoding

  • 21 decoders + raw waveform
  • UART, SPI, I²C, CAN, LIN, Modbus
  • I²S, WS2812, SWD, JTAG, PWM & more

Chip support

  • 240+ MCUs / SoCs
  • Cortex-M0/0+/3/4/7, M23/M33 & RISC-V
  • ST, NXP, Nordic, RP2040, ESP32, TI…

Connection & OS

  • Single USB cable to your PC
  • Windows 10 / 11 (64-bit)
  • USB 3.0 recommended for 24 MS/s

Signal output is currently UART only; other signal types are on the roadmap. macOS/Linux under consideration. Specs from AIHIL Link MCP v0.2.0.

For enterprise

Beyond the device: automated firmware development, built around your process

For embedded teams who want more than a tool — a develop → test → flash loop tailored to your hardware and workflow, automated but always under your control.

Product + service

AIHIL LINK hardware paired with a service layer: we help integrate it with your toolchain, stand up the automated loop, and support your team — so you’re validating on real hardware fast, not figuring it out alone.

Custom development automation

We tailor the AI-driven loop to your chips, boards, and process. The AI writes and iterates firmware while AIHIL LINK flashes, tests, and captures results on your real target — fully automated, with your engineers keeping oversight and control.

Shorter cycles
Days of bench work → an automated loop
Lower cost

FAQ

Questions, answered

Which chips does it support? +

240+ MCUs and SoCs over SWD/JTAG (CMSIS-DAP v2) — including ST (STM32), NXP, Nordic, GigaDevice, Microchip/Atmel, Raspberry Pi RP2040/RP2350, TI, Silicon Labs, ESP32, Renesas, Infineon and more, spanning Cortex-M0/0+/3/4/7, M23/M33 and RISC-V. Firmware formats: .bin, .hex, .elf, .axf. More targets are added through firmware updates.

What operating systems are supported? +

Windows 10/11 (64-bit) today. macOS and Linux support is under consideration — let us know on the waitlist if that matters to you.

Does it capture signals, output them, or both? +

It captures: an 8-channel logic analyzer (up to 24 MS/s) plus a serial monitor with 21 built-in protocol decoders (UART, SPI, I²C, CAN, LIN, Modbus and more). For output, it currently drives UART test signals; other signal types are on the roadmap.

Which AI agents work with it? +

Anything that speaks MCP. The server is a standard MCP integration, so MCP-compatible clients work without custom glue code.

Does it run locally or need the cloud? +

The device and MCP server run locally on your machine. Your AI agent may use the cloud, but the hardware-control path does not depend on it.

What does the beta involve? +

Early access to hardware, setup docs and example workflows, and a feedback channel. In return we ask for your honest feedback to help shape the product.

When does it ship? +

We’re assembling the first batch now and inviting waitlist members in order. Join the list to get your spot and timing details.
