Embedder

Embedder is an AI coding agent built specifically for embedded software development. It understands your hardware, indexes datasheets and reference manuals, and helps you write and test firmware faster — right from VS Code.

Get Started

1. Install the Extension

Search for Embedder in the VS Code Extensions Marketplace, or install from the command line:

code --install-extension embedder.embedder

The extension will automatically install the Embedder CLI on first activation.

2. Select Platform & Peripherals

If your hardware is not supported, visit app.embedder.com and upload:

• Datasheets
• Reference manuals
• Schematics
• Application notes
• Safety standards

Contact help@embedder.com to suggest additions to our MCU/peripheral catalog.

3. Open the Chat Panel

Open the Embedder chat panel from the sidebar or run the Embedder: Open Chat command. You'll be prompted to log in with your account on first use.

What Makes Embedder Different

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.

Supported Platforms

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
