Four dev boards hooked to the internet: test AI-written firmware on real silicon via HTTPS
SelfishlyWandering · reddit · 2026-09-15
The author spotted a gap: AI writes embedded firmware faster than a dev board can ship, leaving you with code but no hardware.
His fix: he connected several MCU boards to the internet behind HTTPS so anyone can test firmware on real silicon — compile locally, POST an ELF, and it runs on the chip, letting your agent evaluate code on the fly.
Boards online: NUCLEO-N657X0-Q (M55), STM32H735G-DK (M7), NUCLEO-F429ZI (M4), LPCXpresso55569 (M33); FPGAs planned. Simplest usage: tell your agent to "test the code on cloudhil.tinab.com". Feedback welcome.
