Capability 02 / 05
Brings up a new board, step by step.
From first power to a running main loop: the agents check the rails, lock the clocks, open the debug link, write the drivers from your chip’s datasheet and confirm every step on the real board.

Illustrative session
See it run
Five checks, all on the hardware.
Power, clocks, the debug link, first boot and the IMU on SPI, each one confirmed on the board before the next begins.
Why it matters
Bring-up is where schedules slip.
A new board fails in a hundred small ways: a rail that sags, a crystal that will not start, a pin left in the wrong mode.
EnLab checks each one in order on the hardware, so you know exactly what works and what does not.
What it does
Board bring-up, with EnLab IDE.
Power and clocks
Rails measured, oscillators started and clock trees set up for your exact part.
Debug link
The probe connects, the chip is identified and the first image is flashed.
Drivers from the datasheet
Peripheral setup written from the reference manual, not from memory.
Every step proven
Each check is confirmed on the board and kept as evidence.
Questions
Asked a lot.
- What is board bring-up?
- Getting a new board from first power to running firmware: power, clocks, debug, boot and peripherals.
- Which chips does it support?
- Microcontrollers from ST, NXP, Nordic, Espressif, TI, Renesas, Microchip and more.
- Does it write the drivers?
- Yes. Drivers are written from your chip’s datasheet and reference manual, then tested on the board.
- How do I try it?
- Request access for EnLab IDE.
