Embedded firmware playground

Build a web-based environment for testing IoT firmware. Target makers and small hardware teams.

Why now

IoT development is growing but hardware access remains a barrier.

Who for
IoT developers
Business model
SaaS subscriptions
Effort
A few months

Makers and small teams waste time flashing physical devices during firmware development.

Create a cloud environment where users can test common IoT chip firmwares in virtualized hardware before deployment.

Hardware startups would pay monthly for faster iteration cycles without buying multiple dev boards.

Launch with basic ESP32 emulation and serial monitoring.

Risk is performance limitations for complex real-time applications.
