Anyone tried embedd.it?

Pavel A. · ‎2025-08-04

Inspired by a nice review by Jacob Beningo, I wanted to give it a try but failed right on the entry.

Their web UI says my email is not confirmed and I have no clue how to confirm it. Received their "welcome" email, but no hints how to confirm the email address. Has anyone succeeded to log in and use it?

I've sent a message to their support, no answer yet.

/* Just to save readers time, a brief explanation what embedd.it offers:

It is 'yet another' AI coding assistant service targeted to bring up and make drivers for various devices and sensors, such as GPS, accelerometers etc.

Currently it supports devices connected over i2C and SPI.

As a host system, it supports bare-metal MCUs (including STM32's of course) and Zephyr boards.

Users upload a data sheet PDF for their device(s). Their AI parses it, understands what the device does and generates code to drive the device and some unit test harness. Especially, it takes the boring chore to generate all the definitions for registers and bits.

Next, they provide PC-side GUI that connects to the embedded host and nicely displays the data coming from the sensors. Connected, probably over UART or ethernet. But this is a paid option. For free you get only the MCU-side code.

They offer two variants of IDE: VS Code, local or web based.

So this: https://embedd.it/ ?

I seem to remember hearing of it recently - maybe I read the same article.

Not tried it (yet) ....

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.
A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

Never heard of it but sounds interesting. However, I can't see the use in regards to the STM32 when we have CubeMX

Depends if it does a "better" (sic) job, surely?

They have examples for STM32 host. There you can see what it generates on the STM32 side. It can be combined with Cube-generated code. This service deals mainly with external devices. Currently they do not support internal MCU peripherals (ADC and so on) of STM32 itself.

They've enabled my account manually (automatic workflow did not work because of some glitch on either side).

So I've started with some SPI device. It digested the PDF, now trying to generate some code.
