" summary

A Visual System Designer builds block diagrams from a curated library and generates device tree → Renode config so compiled Zephyr or Linux firmware runs in simulation; the team already runs the Zephyr Dashboard CI against 273 boards and republishes results in Renodepedia. An Open Hardware Portal serves searchable components with KiCad footprints and Blender 3D models, and the flow proves out by generating firmware that executes in a few clicks.
