Simantic provides an automated firmware validation platform that lets developers test real embedded code on virtualized multi‑MCU systems. By simulating hardware interfaces such as CAN, Ethernet, and BLE, it enables rapid injection of sensor data and observation of system behavior without physical boards. The platform also offers a Model Context Protocol server, allowing AI agents like Claude or Cursor to step through firmware, inspect peripheral state, and replay scenarios for AI‑driven debugging.

Problem
Embedded firmware developers often lack a reliable way to test software across multiple microcontroller units (MCUs) and hardware interfaces without physical prototypes, leading to slow validation cycles and costly hardware iterations.
Solution
Simantic offers an automated firmware validation platform that creates virtualized multi‑MCU environments, allowing developers to run real firmware against simulated CAN, Ethernet, and BLE interfaces. The platform lets users inject synthetic sensor data and observe system responses in real time, eliminating the need for physical hardware during early testing phases. Its Model Context Protocol (MCP) server provides a programmable interface through which AI agents or debuggers can step through code, inspect peripheral registers, and replay scenarios on the simulated MCUs. By integrating with common CI pipelines and source‑code repositories, Simantic streamlines mixed‑signal development workflows and reduces time‑to‑market for embedded products.
Target Audience
Primary customers are embedded systems engineers and development teams building mixed‑signal firmware for automotive, IoT, and industrial applications who need scalable, hardware‑free testing solutions.
