BRING UP Bengaluru
Most software teams can now point to something AI has taken off their plate in the last year. Embedded teams largely cannot. The context that decides whether code works lives in the datasheet, the pin map, the errata and the deployment site, and almost none of it sits anywhere a model can reach.
BRING UP is a private dinner series from CraftifAI for the people running engineering at companies building for the physical world. One question for the evening. What is the biggest bottleneck in embedded engineering today, and why have we not solved it yet.
One long table, fifteen people, two hours. No slides and no presentations. Nothing said at the table is attributed afterwards.
Who is at the table
Firmware and embedded software leaders. Board bring up and BSP work, with variants multiplying faster than headcount. Edge AI leaders shipping models onto hardware. Per site calibration and FPS against a thermal envelope, with the pipeline rebuilt for every deployment. FPGA and hardware design leaders. Verification iteration and timing closure, the part of the cycle nobody has compressed.
