Firmware in minutes, not months - rigorously tested on real hardware
BootLoop is building the first AI agent to write and test firmware on real hardware. Existing AI coding assistants fail completely with embedded systems, but our agent ingests datasheets, schematics, and other design files to write firmware in your style and automatically test it on your hardware.
BootLoop is an AI-powered firmware development platform for hardware teams, enabling generation, testing, and debugging of firmware on real hardware. It integrates across toolchains and uses hardware-in-the-loop to accelerate the firmware cycle.
BootLoop provides an agent that understands your hardware by extracting register maps and timing specs from datasheets and Altium projects, supports compiling against your toolchain, flashing to real hardware, and debugging via serial monitors and test equipment. It offers hardware-in-the-loop testing, supports major toolchains (Zephyr, VxWorks, ESP-IDF, Yocto, and more), and handles C, C++, or Rust across bare metal to Linux. It remembers project conventions across sessions, provides built-in static analysis for security and reliability, and includes features like hardware-aware code generation, test planning, and root-cause analysis with visual diagrams. The platform aims to enable firmware development, testing, and debugging entirely on real hardware with live updates and end-to-end workflow from task description to running code.
Who it’s for: Hardware-focused engineering teams building embedded firmware across aerospace, defense, medical devices, energy, utilities, consumer electronics, semiconductors, and related industries.
Website emphasizes demos, real hardware testing, and customer testimonials; mentions of industry applications and multiple chip support imply active product development and market traction.
Noah is the co-founder and CEO of BootLoop. He was a researcher in Accenture’s AI Refinery, building agents for the Fortune 500. Prior, he worked on neuromorphic computing and ultra-low power AI at Accenture Labs and the MIT Media Lab. As CTO of the Ventilator Project, he led work on an FDA-authorized ventilator featured in the Smithsonian and winner of the Autodesk Excellence Award. He has three patents and seven papers across digital signal processing, energy harvesting, and 3D printing.
Co-founder and CTO of BootLoop. Former lead software engineer for SpaceX's Starship booster catch system. Built SpaceX’s Raptor engine firmware from first fire to flight. Before SpaceX, a visiting researcher at MIT Media Lab designing EEG electronics and firmware lead for an FDA-authorized ventilator.
AI that writes, tests, and debugs firmware on real hardware in minutes.
BootLoop builds an AI agent for firmware and embedded software development that can ingest documentation, interact with hardware, and validate code on real hardware or in simulation, delivering custom firmware quickly for aerospace, defense, medical devices, robotics, and IoT hardware. They announce a pilot program where teams receive aerospace-grade code written and reviewed with human validation.
