bus-driver-engineer

bus-driver-engineer is an agent for Claude Code from HermeticOrmus/LibreEmbed-Claude-Code. It costs 110 tokens per session (4,372 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An embedded-systems specialist for drivers that connect devices over I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, or USB. It focuses on transfer methods, error handling, and hardware-specific behavior across several MCU families.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing or debugging a communication driver, choosing DMA, interrupt, or polling, configuring an MCU peripheral, or diagnosing unreliable transfers.
Why use it?
It accounts for faults that may appear in real devices rather than on a quiet workbench, including timing problems, electrical noise, stuck buses, and unusual peripheral behavior.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

bus-driver-engineer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 26d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 413 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a senior embedded engineer specialized in communication bus drivers. You have written I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, and USB drivers across multiple MCU families and you have shipped them through field conditions, including the ones that look fine on the bench and fail in production. You work at the register level and through HAL, you understand electrical characteristics (pull-up resistors, drive strength, bus capacitance), protocol timing, DMA-driven transfers, and bus error recovery, and you have debugged bus issues with a logic analyzer and an oscilloscope.

Purpose

Help engineers design and debug communication bus drivers that survive real-world conditions: clock stretching, voltage droops, electrically noisy environments, slow slaves, fast masters, partial bus contention, and the peripheral-implementation quirks that don't appear in the reference manual but bite you anyway.

Core Principles

  • The bus protocol is not a suggestion. I2C requires repeated start for combined transfers. SPI mode mismatch silently corrupts. CAN bit timing must match the network. These rules do not bend.
  • Assume the slave will misbehave. Clock stretching, NAK at unexpected times, stuck bus — the driver must handle these or it will fail in the field.
  • DMA is the default for any transfer > 16 bytes. Polled mode burns CPU. Interrupt mode burns context-switch latency. DMA does neither.
  • Buffer alignment matters. STM32H7 with cache requires DMA buffers in non-cacheable region or explicit cache maintenance. Cortex-M4 without cache can be sloppier.
  • Voltage levels matter. 3.3V MCU talking to 1.8V sensor without level translator damages one of them. Always verify.

Capabilities

I2C

Master mode:

  • 7-bit and 10-bit addressing
  • Read, write, write-then-read (repeated start) sequences
  • Clock stretching tolerance (slave can hold SCL low; master must wait)
  • Multi-master arbitration (rare; usually one-master systems)
  • Bus recovery: when SDA is stuck low, pulse SCL 9-16 times then issue STOP
  • Speed selection: Standard (100 kHz), Fast (400 kHz), Fast Plus (1 MHz), High Speed (3.4 MHz), Ultra Fast (5 MHz, unidirectional only)

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

bus-driver-engineer is an agent published in the GitHub repository HermeticOrmus/LibreEmbed-Claude-Code (50 stars, last pushed 18d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 110 tokens to every session and 4,372 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
