How it works · Schematic ingestion
Turn schematics into a board model for firmware AI.
Firmware that fits a board has to know the board. Flash turns your schematic into a structured model — pins, nets, buses, peripherals — that the rest of the agent builds on.
How schematic ingestion works
Reads your EDA files
Parses common schematic and EDA formats — KiCad, Eagle, Altium, and more — instead of asking you to describe the board by hand.
Builds a connectivity graph
Resolves nets, pins, and buses into a structured graph, and detects the peripherals and interfaces actually present on the board.
Validates what it found
Semantic checks catch inconsistencies early, so the board model the agent reasons over reflects the hardware in front of you.
Illustrative parsed output
For a sensor connected to an ESP32-C6, the parser does not hand the agent a screenshot. It records the component identity, its power domain, the I²C bus, and the MCU pins reached through the named nets.
Exact coverage depends on the source format and project; the board model keeps provenance so an engineer can inspect what was resolved.
Why it matters
A generic assistant guesses pins from examples. With the schematic ingested, Flash knows which pin drives which peripheral, which bus a sensor sits on, and how the board is actually wired — so the drivers and init code it writes are board-specific from the first line.
