Description
HardwareOS is a platform designed to turn your hardware ideas into reality by providing a comprehensive build plan. It allows users to describe their desired device in plain language, and then it selects catalog-backed parts, wires them to your board, writes the firmware, and compiles it. With over 4,000 boards and 20,000 parts indexed, HardwareOS offers a vast library to choose from, ensuring that your project is grounded in real-world components.

The platform is designed for both individual engineers and teams, offering different pricing plans to suit various needs. The Free plan allows for three cloud builds per day and includes access to a hardware library, wiring, and a bill of materials. The Hobby plan expands on this with 20 cloud builds per day and more private cloud projects, while the Pro plan offers 100 cloud builds per day with queue priority.
HardwareOS operates through a browser workbench and a desktop app, allowing for both cloud and local builds. The workbench is used for planning, wiring, firmware, and cloud builds, while the desktop app is used for local builds, flashing, and debugging. Projects can be seamlessly transferred between the two platforms, ensuring flexibility and continuity.
The platform is particularly useful for those who have a clear vision but need assistance in turning that vision into a tangible product. By providing a structured approach to hardware development, HardwareOS reduces the guesswork and allows users to focus on innovation and creativity.
