Overview

A collection of command-line utilities for embedded development, including memory analyzers, protocol decoders, and debugging helpers. These tools streamline the firmware development workflow.

The Challenge

Embedded development often lacks good tooling for common tasks like analyzing memory maps, decoding serial protocols, or generating configuration headers. Each project would reinvent these wheels.

The Solution

Created a modular CLI toolkit in Python and C that can be installed via pip. Tools are designed to work standalone or integrate with build systems. Includes documentation and examples for each utility.
