Built for engineers who ship hardware.
hw.dev is an independent platform for hardware engineers navigating the AI-accelerated era of product development.
// Mission
Hardware engineering is in the middle of a transformation. AI tools are reshaping EDA workflows. New connectivity standards are fragmenting the IoT stack. The supply chain is still recovering from years of disruption. And the line between firmware, software, and silicon is blurring in ways that require engineers to hold more context than ever.
hw.dev exists to make that context manageable. We curate the links that matter — silicon announcements, EDA tool updates, supply chain intelligence, design techniques, and open-source tooling — with enough context to make them actionable.
We're not a news aggregator. We're a signal-to-noise filter, maintained by engineers who also build hardware.
// What we cover
PCB & EDA
Design tools, routing techniques, DRC best practices, fab process improvements.
Silicon & MCUs
New silicon announcements, architecture deep-dives, performance benchmarks.
Embedded & Firmware
RTOS updates, HAL patterns, low-power design, toolchain improvements.
Connectivity
Matter, Thread, Wi-Fi 7, BLE, UWB — standards and silicon.
AI at the Edge
On-device inference, NPU architectures, quantization, deployment tooling.
Supply Chain
Component availability, distributor trends, BOM risk, sourcing strategies.
// The BOM Tool
Beyond the digest, we're building a BOM intelligence tool — a single place to cross-reference components, detect supply chain risks, find pin-compatible substitutes, and optimize for cost and availability. Built for the way engineers actually work, not for procurement departments.
