Feature Deep-Dive
Firmware Generation
Generate STM32, ESP32, and Arduino firmware from .alp hardware task specs. Output includes buildable C/Rust code, linker scripts, and BOM manifests.
CAD Design & BOM Extraction
Read and write STEP, STL, and DXF files. Extract bills of materials from CAD assemblies and sync with procurement workflows.
FEA / CFD Simulation
Run structural and fluid simulations as ALP tasks. Results are recorded in the timeline and compared against safety thresholds defined in @policy.
PCB Layout & DFM
Auto-route PCBs or generate manufacturing-ready Gerbers. DFM checks flag clearance, trace width, and assembly issues before fabrication.
IoT Telemetry & Anomaly Detection
Connect physical sensors via MQTT or OPC-UA. ALP agents detect anomalies using time-series models and can trigger maintenance @task blocks.
Digital Twin Sync
Keep a live software replica of physical assets. Twin state is versioned in the ALP vault and can be rewound to any point in time for forensics.
Use Cases
- Hardware startups prototyping firmware and PCBs without dedicated electrical engineers.
- Manufacturing teams monitoring production lines with IoT telemetry and anomaly detection.
- Defense/aerospace teams needing safety-critical validation and immutable audit trails.
Integration
Creates @task/@workflow for hardware validation, @policy for safety-critical rules, and @timeline for maintenance scheduling.
Quickstart
- Install the persona pack:
npm install -g @alp/hybrid-engineer@80.0.0 - Enable in your project:
alp persona add hybrid-engineer - Define a hardware task:
@task firmware(board: esp32, peripherals: [sensor, relay]) - Run simulation:
alp run --task firmware --simulate - Sync to digital twin:
alp twin sync --device line-3-press
