Currently Playing: From Netlist to Device Tree: AI Does It in Minutes

Altium Develop connects your design, supply chain, and manufacturing teams in one place — eliminating the friction that slows down every product launch: https://www.altium.com/develop?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=ontrack-podcast&utm_content=from-netlist-to-device-tree-ai-does-it-in-minutes What used to take a firmware expert an entire day can now be done in two to three minutes. In this clip from the Altium OnTrack Podcast, Eli Hughes (principal at Wavenumber LLC) demonstrates how combining Altium Cruncher's netlist output with Claude AI can automatically generate a complete Zephyr RTOS device tree — including GPIO configuration, I2C connections, and peripheral driver mapping — all from your actual PCB design data. The secret is feeding AI structured, semantic data instead of images or PDFs. By parsing the netlist into a clean JSON format that AI can actually reason about, hallucinations drop to near zero and the output is production-ready with just a quick review pass. If you do any embedded firmware work with Zephyr, NXP RT-series chips, or custom BSPs, this workflow is a game changer. 👉 Watch the entire interview: https://youtu.be/GfzwC0iT01Q 💡 Stay Connected: Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more in-depth tutorials and tips from @AltiumAcademy Share your thoughts and questions in the comments below! 👉 Subscribe for more: https://www.youtube.com/@AltiumAcademy?sub_confirmation=1 Don't forget to follow us on social to stay up-to-date on the latest Altium Academy content. 👉 Follow Altium on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@altiumdesigner 👉 Follow Altium on Twitter: https://twitter.com/altium 👉 Follow Altium on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/altium/ 👉 Follow Altium on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AltiumOfficial/ The Altium Academy is an online experience created to bring modern education to PCB Designers and Engineers all across the world.
