embedded-peripheral-bringup

embedded-peripheral-bringup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from easyzoom/aix-skills. It costs 37 tokens per session (909 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A practical guide to bringing up embedded-device peripherals such as GPIO, UART, SPI, I2C, PWM, ADC, timers, DMA, and interrupts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate missing or incorrect peripheral signals, stuck buses, bad timing or data, intermittent behavior, and issues involving interrupts or DMA.
Why use it?
It helps narrow down whether a problem comes from the board wiring, pin settings, clocks, driver configuration, or software before rewriting code that may not be the cause.

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

embedded-peripheral-bringup 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 10d 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.

Embedded Peripheral Bring-Up

Overview

Use this skill to bring up peripherals from the outside in: board wiring, pin mux, clocks, reset state, electrical mode, driver configuration, interrupts/DMA, and observable signals. Avoid rewriting drivers before proving the peripheral can physically signal.

When To Use

Use this skill when:

  • GPIO, UART, SPI, I2C, PWM, ADC, timer, DMA, or interrupt behavior is wrong.
  • A peripheral has no signal, wrong timing, stuck bus, bad data, or only works sometimes.
  • The user has schematic snippets, pin mappings, logic analyzer traces, oscilloscope captures, or register dumps.

Do not use this skill when the chip is not booting or the firmware cannot be flashed; resolve those first.

First Questions

Ask for:

  • MCU/SoC and board.
  • Peripheral and exact pins.
  • Expected behavior versus observed behavior.
  • Clock frequency and driver/framework.
  • Schematic/pinout evidence and whether signals were measured.
  • Whether interrupts, DMA, or low-power modes are involved.

Workflow

  1. Prove the board path. Confirm the signal pin, package pin, board net, connector, level shifter, pull-up/down, and external device.

  2. Prove pin configuration. Check mux/alternate function, electrical mode, drive strength, pull, analog/digital mode, and open-drain requirements.

  3. Prove clock and reset. Confirm peripheral bus clock, module reset release, prescaler, and any power domain enable.

  4. Start with the simplest observable action. Toggle GPIO, emit one UART byte, generate one SPI clock burst, scan I2C address, or start one timer output.

  5. Add interrupts and DMA last. First prove polling or simple blocking transfers, then enable IRQ/DMA and verify vector, priority, buffer alignment, and cache.

  6. Compare measurements to configuration. Use logic analyzer or oscilloscope evidence for timing, polarity, phase, voltage, and bus contention.

Peripheral Checks

GPIO

  • Pin mux selects GPIO, not alternate function.
  • Output mode and drive strength match load.
  • Input mode, pull-up/down, and voltage threshold match circuit.
  • Board net is not held by another device.

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.

embedded-peripheral-bringup is a skill published in the GitHub repository easyzoom/aix-skills (31 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 909 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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.
