embed-ai-tool
Embedded development skill set for AI coding assistants covering the full MCU firmware workflow: builds across Keil, IAR, CMake, and PlatformIO, flashing, GDB debugging, serial monitoring, Modbus, CAN, and VISA protocol debugging, and peripheral driver adaptation on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
What it does and how it connects
embed-ai-tool is an embedded development skill set for AI coding assistants that gives a large model full MCU firmware workflow capability. It covers multi-toolchain builds (Keil, IAR, CMake, PlatformIO, ESP-IDF, Makefile), flashing (OpenOCD, J-Link, Keil), GDB debugging, RTOS thread-aware debugging, serial monitoring and shell interaction, Modbus, CAN, and VISA protocol debugging, logic analyzer capture, memory and static analysis, and pipeline orchestration, on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
It ships 24 skills in 6 categories: build, flash, debug, communication, analysis, and orchestration. Installation follows an install protocol the README states an AI assistant must read first: analyze the project, present install options, and wait for user confirmation before installing, with direct bulk copying of the skills directory explicitly forbidden.
A contributor pull request (PR 8, open at verification time) adds full Zephyr support for queue status and deadlock detection in the rtos-debug skill, verified on real hardware (nRF52840 with J-Link GDB Server), and a merged pull request (PR 6) fixed OpenOCD flash command splitting, serial path discovery, and PlatformIO workflow mapping.
