Chiplab by Veecle features
- Virtual silicon. Runs firmware on a chip-accurate virtual instance with real peripheral behavior.
- Single MCP call. Agents invoke compile, simulate, test or benchmark with one endpoint.
- Corpus learning. Each run adds results to a shared corpus searchable by agents.
- Remote licensed toolchains. Compiles with IAR, ARMCC, HighTec etc. without local installation.
- Synthetic sensor injection. Feeds generated sensor data (camera, CAN, IMU) into live simulation.
- Automated test reporting. Provides verdict, trace, coverage and regression info per run.
Fluent CI features
- TypeScript pipelines. Define build, test, and deploy steps using TypeScript code.
- Self-hosted. Run Fluent CI locally or on any server you control.
- FluentCI Studio. Graphical UI to explore and edit pipelines across projects.
- Plugin SDK. Write custom CI plugins with IDE auto-completion and type checking.
- 170+ extensions. Ready-made pipelines for many languages and services.
- Dagger & Deno core. Built on Dagger for portable pipelines and Deno for secure execution.
- Registry of pre-built pipelines. Browse and reuse community pipelines for common stacks.
- CI provider integration. Develop locally then push pipelines to any CI provider.
