Developing firmware for microcontrollers, implementing RTOS applications
by jeffallanFree
Description
embedded-systems is an agent skill from the jeffallan claude-skills collection that helps a coding agent develop firmware for microcontrollers, implement RTOS applications and optimise power use, with examples for STM32, ESP32 and FreeRTOS. Its workflow has six steps. The agent analyses the constraints: the microcontroller's specifications, memory limits, timing requirements and power budget. It designs the architecture with the task structure, interrupts, peripherals and memory layout. It implements the drivers, including the hardware abstraction layer and RTOS integration. It validates the code by compiling with -Wall and -Werror and running static analysis such as cppcheck, and it checks register bit-field use against the datasheet. It optimises code size, RAM and power. Finally it tests timing with a logic analyser or oscilloscope, checks stack use with uxTaskGetStackHighWaterMark, measures interrupt latency and confirms that no deadlines are missed under worst-case load, returning to the implementation step when something fails. The skill suits firmware engineers working with resource-constrained devices. It is listed on skills.sh, where the page shows install counts and GitHub stars for the collection. Its Gen Agent Trust Hub audit is marked as failing, which the FAQ lists, while Socket and Snyk pass.
