Products that do what FPGA build environment generator does
Last week I released a web-based, automated build environment / Makefile generator for FPGA projects: http://www.boldport.com It's just a start, and I'd appreciate feedback. Tell me what sucks about it, what you love, where to improve. (BTW, I'm happy to help anyone who's interested to set up or convert their projects to work with the "boldport flow"!) In this context, my proposal for a scalable and version control friendly project structure for FPGA designs may be interesting as well: https://www.boldport.com/docs/fpgaproj

This is a personal project I've been working on and off for the past few years. It's a set of tools that have allowed me to prototype quickly small (and increasingly bigger) kernels, and create userspace programs to interact with them. Supports riscv64, amd64 and i386. The intel port has been tested and used on real hardware, from big dual-socket Xeon machines to an old X220. It is all C, I have plan to make rust bindings for the kernel library. But again, they're plans at this stage. Porting to new architectures is relatively simple, a basic port to riscv took me a couple of weeks of…

Hi HN, I’ve spent the last decade building hardware products like humanoid robots, 3D printers, and self-driving tractors. I needed a tool to navigate technical documents faster, so I created one with friends. This tool helps with component search, cross-referencing, comparison, and debugging. We’d love your feedback, whether you find it useful or not. Thank you! Try it here: www.convergelab.ai

I've noticed all 3D AI generators create monlithic blobs that are impossible to edit. So, alongwith a friend, I built this project where you can generate 3D objects with separate, editable parts. I'm looking for community feedback. The tool is free, but you'll have to BYOK. It uses models like Gemini, Claude or chatGPT to generate a Blender construction script. Basically the output is not merely geometry. It's the procedure that built it, plus the asset itself. This means you can actually go in and edit the "kit of parts" afterwards, instead of starting over.

Over the last few weeks, I worked on a set of tools which enables (1) a modern workflow to build customized images for Raspberry Pi, (2) robust over-the-air updates with rollback support of the entire system, including firmware files, and (3) managed state which is preserved across reboots and updates. The goal is to have a reliable platform for creating Raspberry Pi-based products. The initial motivation for the project came from one of our customers who uses Raspberry Pi to control test benches for pedelecs. The entire project is open-source. Feel free to check it out and give it a try.…

For the last 6 months, I've been building ORUS Builder, an open-source AI code generator. My goal was to fix the biggest issue I have with tools like v0, Lovable, etc. – they generate broken, non-compiling code that needs hours of debugging. ORUS Builder is different. It uses a "Compiler-Integrity Generation" (CIG) protocol, a set of cognitive validation steps that run before the code is generated. The result is a 99.9% first-time compilation success rate in my tests. The workflow is simple: 1.Describe an app in a single prompt. 2.It generates a full-stack application…

I built this over the weekend after reading about StrongDM's software factory (their writeup: https://factory.strongdm.ai/, Simon Willison's deep dive: https://simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/7/software-factory/, Dan Shapiro's Five Levels: https://www.danshapiro.com/blog/2026/01/the-five-levels-from...). OctopusGarden is an open-source implementation of the pattern StrongDM described: holdout scenarios, probabilistic satisfaction scoring via LLM-as-judge, and a convergence loop that iterates until the code works; no…

My name is Elliott. For the last three years, I’ve been building a DevOps platform on the best-in-class open source platforms (Kubernetes, Elixir, PostgreSQL, Grafana, etc.). The goal is to give engineering teams access to a modern DevOps infrastructure without needing to have a full SRE/DevOps team dedicated. It’s also open source /fair source - all the source code is here → https://github.com/batteries-included/batteries-included I shipped a public beta today and would love to hear initial reactions, thoughts, and feedback. Here are details of the platform: *…

Hi everyone. I've recently released control-components, a C++ library I've been using for most of my embedded projects. It is written in C++17 (with some features from C++20) and uses STL and FreeRTOS under the hood. It contains a lot of building blocks that is commonly used in embedded and IoT projects: finite state machines (FSM), various counters, synchronisation primitives, system loops, sensors, schedulers, HTTP, WiFi, Web GUI, and much more. It also provides GitHub CI workflows for build automation (ccache, various checks). In general, it's a good starting point for an ESP32 project.…

Announcement: https://yzena.com/2024/04/rig-24.04.00-has-been-released/ Okay, it's not zero dependency, but it does only need a C99 compiler and some way to run a command. (C11 preferred, though.) Anyway, after more than three years of work, Rig is finally ready because it can build itself on non-Windows platforms. (Windows support only needs to figure out how to access the compiler.) Rig's website: https://rigbuild.dev/ That website has the docs as well, but for anyone who can contact me [1], feel free to do so if the docs are not sufficient for…

Hi everyone! I built Composer, which is a tool turns your ideas into architecture diagrams. You can also use MCP to turn your EXISTING codebase into a visual diagram! It connects to all possible tools using MCP (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, etc.) The goal was to make system design easier and to be able to draw out what I wanted to make before I started / to explain to others. Its currently live at usecomposer.com and free! I’d love feedback on whether it feels useful for real projects and where it breaks down. :) Thank you

Hi It's Logan (op) and David, we are launching our first open source Python SDK generator with other languages to come :) We built this because we believe that the OpenAPI Generator project is a mess and simply doesn't work for most users (us included). Additionally, proprietary generators miss the mark for complex use cases, and restrict developers from doing what they do best: writing code. On top of all that they force you into proprietary configuration layers for many desirable features which increases vendor lock in and pulls you further away from your API spec as the source of truth.…

I've been building hi-fi stereo setups for years with all sorts different budgets, different rooms, helping friends spec out systems. I even worked at a hi-fi shop for several months before I came scurrying back to tech (a good story, but, uh, out of scope here). I kept wishing for something like PCPartPicker.com but for stereo gear. A place to design and save my systems, check compatibility, and see exactly how everything works. So I built it. No sign-in required to create builds: just hit "Start Your Build" and add parts. The signal chain diagram updates in real-time as you build and you…

Hey HN, After GPT-3 created waves in the tech industry, a lot of AI tools were emerging and with that, some AI website builders But the results seemed way too generic to us. It felt like the developers were rushing to catch the wave instead of building a proper tool We took our time, did months of RnD and finally came up with something better than what others in the market are doing. It’s got better design output. While it’s still in beta, I wanted to show HN what we did. Will appreciate the feedback when you guys try it out. Here is the link to signup for the beta:…

Hi HN! Solo developer here. 10 days ago, I started building this after spending countless hours copying/pasting marketing sections and fighting to keep them consistent with our design system. I wondered: "What if AI could understand our design system and generate React components that actually match it?" Current progress (10 days in): - Can generate hero sections that follow your design tokens - Uses your actual component variants and styles - Works with Next.js, Tailwind, shadcn/ui It's very early days, but I'm excited to share it with other devs who: - Are tired of rebuilding…

Hi HN! I've posted this a few weeks back without much HN traction - today we've added a free community tier, so anyone can try it out. TL;DR: We’ve launched StableBuild, a new tool to easily freeze and pin Docker images, operating system packages, Python packages, and arbitrary build dependencies; in 5 lines of code: https://stablebuild.com . As the CTO at an ML startup w/ 75 people (https://edgeimpulse.com/) I’ve grown incredibly frustrated with non-deterministic builds. Last year basically every week one of our containers (we have 40+ unique ones in prod)…
