  Odd choice of microcontrollers for a tool that targets professional developers. That's nothing e.g. the automotive industry would use.

  Hi,First of all, congrats on the launch. I have worked with many such products and this is something that is required. There is no one solution fits all in this domain. Each vendor has their quirks that. So this is overall a great problem to tackle and kudos to you for taking this up.Could you elaborate a bit more on how this is different from Renode?Also you are entering into a market that has well established legacy players. Most of the firmware is developed in China. How do you intend to make a space for yourself in such a scenario.

  Congrats on the launch! Seems like a great time this type of thing, with all the new robotics, chips, etc companies coming outI don't know too much about hardware simulation. How much of the simulation is deterministic, versus probabilistic or ML based?

  Congrats on the launch, this is a great one!!I work on agent tooling on the software side, and the pattern you describe is exactly what we see there too. Generation got fast and cheap. Validation stayed slow and human. In software the review queue became the bottleneck.In firmware it sounds worse, because the queue was a physical board!Curious how you triage the gaps your validation rigs find. When the sim and the board disagree on timing, how do you decide which one is wrong? And how often is it the board setup rather than the model?Good luck today, rooting for you!

  Is the list of supported models in the docs? Thats the first thing I went looking for

  Why is this a cloud service instead of a local emulator? I don't get it

  I'd be quite worried about your name being too similar to Symantec (now part of broadcom, but the brand is apparently being preserved to some degree): https://sep.securitycloud.symantec.com/v2/landingFirmware validation isn't particularly close to symantec's products from my perspective, but I'm sure a lawyer would be happy to disagree for the right retainer.(congrats on your launch in any case)
