About the project

PWR Forge was created as a single tool for embedded software development. It combines development, quality, and DevOps tasks into one consistent workflow.

What it does

It generates, builds, analyzes, tests, and releases embedded C/C++ software from a single CLI.

Why it exists

It shortens the path from prototype to commercialization, simplifies maintenance, and reduces time to market.

Who it is for

Students, researchers, and professionals building embedded and IoT systems.

Key features

PWR Forge organizes project work from repository creation through testing, documentation, and debugging.

Project creation

Set up new binary and library projects with automatic code generation.

Build

Build projects consistently in a predictable environment and for a selected architecture.

Static analysis

Run code analyzers and support ongoing code quality improvement.

Unit testing

Run tests as a built-in part of an organized development workflow.

Documentation

Generate documentation directly from project sources.

Debugging
