Chiplab

Chiplab lets embedded firmware teams use AI agents to compile, simulate, and test firmware on virtual target chips. It returns build diagnostics, traces, and test results without requiring a physical board.

One of 147 tools in Developer Tools

Who it's for

  • Embedded firmware developers validating code before a physical prototype is available.
  • Firmware teams using AI agents through MCP hosts such as Cursor, Claude Code, or Windsurf.
  • Developers porting firmware or investigating chip-specific faults who need target-chip builds and simulation.

How it fits your workflow

Connect an MCP host to Chiplab, then have an agent submit firmware and a target chip ID or specification. Chiplab routes the request to a corpus lookup, build, simulation, or test operation.

For execution and tests, Chiplab runs firmware on a virtual target chip and returns results such as verdicts, traces, register state, coverage, and failures. For simulation, users can define sensor profiles and inject synthetic inputs such as camera frames, CAN bus, or IMU data.

Key features

Virtual-chip execution
Runs firmware on a virtual instance of a target chip and returns a verdict, trace, and register state without requiring physical hardware.
Remote compilation
Builds source code using a selected production toolchain. The page names IAR, ARMCC, and HighTec ASIL-D as supported licensed compilers available remotely on demand.
Firmware testing
Runs unit and integration tests on virtual hardware and can return coverage reports and corpus-matched failures.
Sensor and environment simulation
Injects synthetic data, including camera frames, CAN bus, and IMU inputs, into a running firmware simulation to examine I/O behavior, faults, and timing.
Shared embedded corpus
Searches indexed samples for chip-specific gotchas, validated fixes, and architecture decisions, returning ranked matches with confidence scores.
MCP agent interface
Exposes operations through an MCP endpoint for use by AI agents and MCP hosts.

Works with

  • Cursor
  • Claude Code
  • Windsurf
  • MCP hosts
  • IAR, ARMCC, and HighTec ASIL-D

Getting started

  1. Connect an MCP host, such as Cursor, Claude Code, or Windsurf, to Chiplab.
  2. Submit firmware and the target chip ID or specification through an agent.
  3. Review the returned build, simulation, test, or corpus results.
