rttsh is a Windows command-line terminal over SEGGER J-Link RTT for checking firmware on the board. Firmware exposes a command console through RTT, and Lua scripts on the host send commands and assert on replies and timing. It shares the flashing probe, leaves the UART free and includes an 8-tool MCP server. The README's 23 example scripts target an STM32H743.

EmbeddedCI's BenchPod plugins connect Claude Code and Codex to a BenchPod, the company's hardware-in-the-loop tester wired to the board under test. One MCP server has tools to flash over SWD, power-cycle and capture the boot log, emulate I2C sensors, capture logic and analog signals and talk CAN. The vendor README lists the tools but shows no runs.

embedagents-stm32 runs ST's own command-line tools from Claude Code to work on STM32 projects. It drives CubeMX, CubeIDE, CubeProgrammer, the signing tool, the ST-LINK GDB server and the virtual COM port, and bundles none of them. The README's demo GIF shows Claude Code building and flashing a NUCLEO-L476RG from one plain-language request.

Agent Fingers runs on a stock Raspberry Pi Pico 2 as a signal instrument and CMSIS-DAP debug probe for AI agents. It offers eight digital channels, ADC capture, PWM, UART, I2C and SPI, plus SWD and JTAG for STM32 and ESP32 targets. Outputs need an expiring arm lease. The README shows no hardware runs.

Agent Debug Probe connects a coding agent to a target through an RP2040 probe and MCP adapter. The agent can switch target power and USB data, drive reset and boot straps, and use SWD/JTAG and UART. A validation report dated 8 August logs bench tests of the fabricated board, including an 8.66 MB UART transfer to a Zynq target.

STM32 AutoDebug Universal Kit compiles STM32 firmware with Keil MDK, flashes it over SWD and waits for a pass token on the serial port. On a HardFault it reads the fault registers and maps the PC to a source line. Every result is an exit code. It is Windows-only; the README shows example output from an STM32F103C8T6.

In an Octopart video, one prompt sends Claude Code through a digital low-pass filter on a Digilent Cmod S7 FPGA board. It writes and simulates the filter, then programs the board over JTAG. Through MCP servers for an Analog Discovery 2 and a Rigol scope, it sweeps test tones at 1, 5 and 15 kHz against the 10 kHz cutoff.

On FastLED's unattended bench, an RP2040 stopped enumerating over USB after it was flashed with an I2S microphone sketch. Elevated device restarts and disable-enable cycles all failed. The issue says a port restart resets the bus but never cuts VBUS. The follow-up lists a switchable hub, an SWD probe and a watchdog that falls back to BOOTSEL.

SEGGER and Embedder announced on 10 September that Embedder's firmware agent can now drive J-Link and J-Trace debug probes. The announcement says the agent loads builds, sets breakpoints, reads registers and memory and watches RTT output, then keeps debugging on the target until the code works. It gives no availability date or price.
