Exort

Exort is an open-source desktop application designed to assist with microcontroller development by integrating AI-powered features into the coding process. The platform aims to make hardware programming more accessible and less daunting by offering an AI agent that helps users generate, refine, upload, and debug embedded code for microcontroller projects. Exort is positioned as a coding environment that supports the entire workflow from idea to running code on hardware, with a focus on embedded systems.

Among its core features, Exort includes a serial monitor that allows users to read live device output, such as boot logs and debug prints, facilitating quick checks and iterative development. The serial plotter feature enables visualization of streaming values as simple charts, which can be useful for calibration, sensor tuning, and diagnosing runtime issues. The board manager centralizes the installation and switching of board platforms, supporting a range of hardware including Arduino, ESP32, RP2040, STM32, and Teensy, among others. This makes it adaptable to various embedded development scenarios.

Exort’s AI agent is designed to assist with debugging, compiling, and uploading code to target boards. Users can start with free included AI models or connect their own provider, allowing them to select models that best fit their workflow for debugging, refactoring, and shipping embedded projects. The tool also offers built-in capabilities to monitor device output and support iterative development cycles.

The application is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and can be downloaded directly or cloned from its GitHub repository. Exort is free to use and open source, reflecting its commitment to accessibility for embedded developers. The tool is made by Razz19 and is intended for those working in embedded development who seek AI-assisted coding and device interaction capabilities.
