embtrace-check

Free CRA Readiness Check collector — one command in your project folder, and within 24 hours you receive a report showing where your product stands with the EU Cyber Resilience Act: traffic-light readiness status, your full component inventory, and known vulnerabilities with severity.

This collector is open source for one reason: so you can verify exactly what leaves your machine.

What it transmits — and what it never does

Transmitted (JSON, ~a few kB):

  • names, versions and package ecosystems of your dependencies (from lockfiles and build files: Conan, vcpkg, CMake, Cargo, npm/yarn/pnpm, Python incl. uv, Go, Maven/Gradle, Meson, and more),
  • names and versions of FPGA IP cores (AMD/Xilinx Vivado .hwh/.xci, Microchip Libero Tcl/.cxf, Intel/Altera Quartus *_hw.tcl),
  • the project folder name (hash it with --anonymize),
  • scan statistics (number of build files, tool version).

Never transmitted: source code, file paths, file contents, configuration, credentials. The supplier of an FPGA IP core is known locally but deliberately not transmitted — names, versions and ecosystems only. See for yourself before sending anything:

embtrace-check . --dry-run     # prints the exact payload, uploads nothing

Usage

  1. Get your free one-time code at https://embtrace.dev/check (the report goes to the e-mail address you register there).
  2. Run the collector in your project folder:
pipx install embtrace-check         # or: pip install embtrace-check,
                                    #     or download the standalone binary
embtrace-check . --code CHK-XXXX-YYYY
  1. Your report arrives within 24 hours. The code is valid for one check.

More options: embtrace-check --help — including --output payload.json for air-gapped environments (send the file by mail) and --with-tools to additionally use native package-manager CLIs for higher-fidelity results.

Exit codes

Code Meaning
0 success
1 error (network, invalid code, …)
2 no components found — declare dependencies manually in embtrace-deps.yaml
