    Claude Code brings up a legacy FPGA project on an Arty A7, then saves the steps as skills

    In an Octopart video, Ari Mahpour gives Claude Code one prompt and an attached Analog Discovery 2. Running Opus 4.8, it upgrades a Vivado 2018 design to 2025.2 and programs a Digilent Arty A7 in about 15 minutes. Mahpour then saves the session as a CLAUDE.md file and skills; a fresh session repeats the bring-up in seconds.

    Linutronix on the lab behind an agent that reserves, flashes and power-cycles real boards

    Linutronix describes an off-the-shelf AI agent that tests embedded boards in its lab through a small MCP server. In the example session the agent reserves a board, flashes it, reads the console and power-cycles it after a bad flash. The post argues that the safety comes from the lab underneath. It shows one screenshot and no logs.
