LabWired The easy way to build hardware
Blog & Whitepapers

Notes from making hardware easy.

Virtual boards you can run in the browser, hand to an agent, and gate in CI — open source, deterministic, no silicon on the critical path.

CRA secure-boot evidence in CI

Use LabWired to produce CRA-style secure-boot evidence: run real firmware on a virtual board in CI, assert boot/OTA/anti-rollback, and download a signed pack each green run — without private keys in git.

Simulating a cellular modem and MQTT without a full network

How LabWired models Quectel AT MQTT (QMT*) and GNSS so firmware can send location messages and you can collect them in the lab — without a radio, SIM, or broker.

Why your AI agent needs virtual, auditable hardware

Agents write firmware but cannot prove it runs. They need virtual, auditable hardware — open-source LabWired boards under MCP, same oracle in Playground and CI.

Running a full IO-Link master with no hardware

A real IO-Link master stack and real device stacks, talking over the C/Q wire — the whole exchange running in software, in your browser and in CI. Nothing mocked.

Render your Arduino e-paper firmware without the hardware

Build a real Arduino-ESP32 GxEPD2 e-paper firmware with PlatformIO and run the same ELF inside the LabWired simulator — it paints a simulated panel exactly as the real one.

Running a full ECU diagnostic check with no hardware

Running a full 27-service ECU UDS check across two virtual STM32H5s over a simulated CAN bus. Headless, in CI, no hardware.

Catching a CAN bug that only shows up on real hardware — with LabWired

A multi-frame UDS (ISO-TP) bug that only surfaced on real STM32F103 hardware — an N_Cr clock-source mismatch — reproduced, debugged, and fixed in LabWired without touching the silicon.
