Hardware Development
Environments as Code
Stop wrestling with fragmented toolchains and manual processes. Wirtual brings the GitHub workflow to hardware development with AI-powered automation, reproducible environments, and infrastructure-as-code principles.
THE HARDWARE DEVELOPMENT CRISIS
While software development has been transformed by modern tools, hardware engineers are still stuck with fragmented toolchains and manual processes that haven't evolved in decades.
Manual Documentation Nightmare
Engineers spend 30-40% of their time manually parsing dense PDFs and datasheets to extract basic information.
- 500+ page datasheets for simple sensors
- Critical info buried in footnotes and diagrams
- No searchable or structured format
- Version conflicts across team members
Driver Development Nightmare
Each hardware component requires 20-48 hours of driver development from scratch, even for common peripherals.
- Repetitive boilerplate for standard protocols
- Platform-specific implementation variations
- Manual error handling and edge cases
- No code reuse across similar components
Environment Inconsistencies
'Works on my machine' problems plague hardware teams with different tool versions and configurations.
- Hours spent debugging environment issues
- Tool version conflicts between team members
- Difficult onboarding for new engineers
- No reproducible development setups
Verification & Testing Gaps
Hardware verification is ad-hoc and manual, leading to bugs discovered late in the development cycle.
- Manual test case creation and execution
- Poor test coverage for edge cases
- Late discovery of integration issues
- Difficult debugging without proper tools
The Cost of Outdated Hardware Development
Longer development cycles compared to software projects
Of engineering time spent on tooling instead of innovation
To integrate a single hardware component

HOW WIRTUAL WORKS
Define Hardware Environments as Code
Create complete development environments using familiar Terraform syntax. Specify your hardware components, tools, and configurations in declarative code.
Our AI automatically processes component datasheets, generates drivers, and sets up your entire development workspace in minutes.
Version control your environments, share templates with your team, and reproduce identical setups anywhere.
