hw-codesign

Agentic hardware co-design from brief to KiCad, firmware, 3D review, and explicit fabrication blockers.

Version 0.1.4 is available from PyPI and its tagged GitHub release. The package provides candidate-level CAD and validation evidence; it does not claim that a generated board is fabricated or physically qualified.

hw-codesign provides the hw CLI, the hw-mcp MCP server, and a typed, template-driven workflow for generating reviewable hardware candidates. Every gate is reported as pass, fail, or blocked; software checks do not become fabrication or physical-qualification claims.

Install

Python 3.11 or newer is required.

python -m pip install "hw-codesign[mcp]==0.1.4"
hw --help

Start a candidate

mkdir my-hardware-workspace
cd my-hardware-workspace
hw --root . create-project my_usb_board --template rp2040_usb_device
hw --root . update-requirements my_usb_board \
  "Design a 2-layer RP2040 USB HID and CDC board powered from USB-C. Use Zephyr."
hw --root . design-candidate my_usb_board --brief \
  "Design a 2-layer RP2040 USB HID and CDC board powered from USB-C. Use Zephyr."
hw --root . export-standalone-review my_usb_board

The generated HTML review is self-contained. The tool is not an arbitrary-prompt PCB oracle, and generated artifacts remain candidates until all configured release and physical-evidence gates pass.
