Briefing
Before any code is written, the video takes on the usual worry about emulators, an unmodeled peripheral quirk. Tulip Tree says Emerson is built to fail loudly on behavior it does not model rather than drift quietly from the real chip. emctl then checks the agent's firmware on the emulated hardware with no debugger and no flashing step.
This is a vendor demo of its own product, and the description does not name the agent. It says Emerson has also booted Linux to a login prompt, run FreeRTOS across split flash regions and driven battery-charger and fuel-gauge chips through their I2C register maps. Those runs are promised for later episodes.
