Software
IOWeaver, the protocol analyzer and grapher; RockFace, the firmware debugger; mx3, parts, BOMs and assembly for an electronics lab.
Three tools for the bench: one plots what a device says, one debugs the firmware that says it, one keeps the parts and the boards in order. draft
IOWeaver
A protocol analyzer and grapher for the desktop: it records, decodes, shows on a timeline and sends the traffic of a device. It is the GUI for rePort and Donguru and ships with them.
- Record
- I2C, CAN, UART, GPIO, WireWeaver
- Decode
- the same protocols
- Show
- on a timeline, and plot
- Send
- back to the device
RockFace
A tracer and debugger for embedded firmware, for systems that are running. The first paid release is planned for January 2027.
- Logs
- from one board or a fleet
- Graphs
- stack and CPU use
- Profiling
- zero-cost
- Timeline
- sleep spans and events
mx3
The electronics side of an in-house lab system: from a BOM to parts on the shelf to an assembled board.
- BOM import from CSV or XLSX, with each line mapped to a part automatically.
- A BOM editor: part choices, variants, stock and box per line, cost with a price chart, a purchase list.
- A parts database with typed parameters and parametric search.
- Digi-Key pricing and stock for every part, with their history, kept fresh by a background crawler.
- A warehouse: boxes in boxes, stock, photos and a barcode scanner.
- Guided manual PCB assembly: it plans the placement and records every part that moves.
mx3 runs in VHRD’s own lab today. It may be opened up or offered as a product later.
