AI-Powered Embedded Development

Build Embedded Systems
Like Playing with Blocks

Develop in independent, self-contained parts and use Atava to combine, manage, and troubleshoot them. Configure more, program less.

Early access: some features shown are still in development.

It's Time to Upgrade Your Embedded Stack:

Interactive
AI Integrated
User Interface
A visual interface for interacting with the system. Enables configuration and modification of all components, making extension, troubleshooting, and rapid prototyping fast and efficient.
Connected
API & Cloud Integrations
Out-of-the-box integrations with external platforms and services, including data logging, real-time streaming, and cloud connectivity.
AI Ready
Mixed Execution
Seamlessly combines low-level hardware control with high-level software logic. Ideal for AI-driven embedded systems that require tight hardware–software integration.
Traditional Approach
Spaghetti Code
Mixed responsibilities, tight coupling, hard to maintain, test and debug, no integrations ...

The Main Concept

"Divide (your code) and (let Atava) Conquer"

Split everything into self-contained tasks and let Atava do the magic:

Atava works with your stack. It's a compatibility layer that adds powerful features and removes common pain points without replacing your existing tools and workflows.

Note: Modular programming and task-based architectures aren't new concepts—Atava makes them effortless to implement and manage.

1

Create Your Tasks

Split your code into separate tasks, use existing tasks from the library, or let AI LLMs generate tasks for you. Support for C++, Python, Rust, code generation tools like Simulink and popular frameworks like Arduino.

2

Connect with Signals

Data connections called signals link your tasks together and connect to ready-to-use Atava system components like communication interfaces.

3

Test & Interact via UI

Use the Atava UI to test individual tasks, run the full system, and interact with everything in real-time. Visual debugging and monitoring included.

4

Connect to APIs & Services

Integrate with external APIs, cloud platforms, databases, and other services. Easy to update, change, and extend everything as your project grows.
