esquaresoft publishes software for teams that design electronic boards and firmware: watch the microcontroller in real time, keep requirements and traceability in git, and let AI agents work on data they can actually read.
Each one solves a specific, everyday problem of an embedded team, and can be downloaded straight from this site.
Read variables straight from the microcontroller's RAM while it runs, and plot them in real time. No halting the program, no reaching for a hardware scope.
Requirements, tests, campaigns, reviews and traceability in a desktop tool. Every requirement is a readable YAML file: git is the source of truth, and AI gets access through an MCP server.
AI agents already write code, review specs and go through measurements. They need tools whose data is open and whose actions stay under the engineer's control.
YAML, JSON, CSV: formats a human reviews in a diff and an agent reads without a proprietary connector.
Branches, reviews, tags and history: the configuration management your team already uses, with no extra server.
Tools designed by electronics and firmware engineers, tested on STM32, Renesas RA and AVR.
The agent proposes, the engineer publishes. Polenta's MCP server never commits, and bulk imports start as a dry run.
Polenta is AGPL, eScope's firmware code is MIT: ship it in your products, commercial ones included.
A requirement in Polenta, a test that verifies it, an eScope measurement that proves it: the whole chain, from spec to bench.
The same principles, applied to embedded software verification.
Write and run unit tests on firmware code, on PC as well as on target, with results fed into Polenta campaigns (JUnit XML) and tests generated with the help of AI.
Run the firmware on a PC with simulated peripherals to validate integration before the board exists, and watch the simulation with eScope as if it were a real target.
Professional licenses, early access, integration into your toolchain or feedback from the field: write to us, you will get an answer from the people who build the tools.
