A firsthand recap of Embedded World 2026 covering four major themes: AI agents being wired into firmware toolchains via MCP servers (including a demo of LDRA analysis triggered by an AI agent), widespread anxiety around EU Cyber Resilience Act compliance deadlines, SEGGER's award-winning emApps dynamic app sandboxing framework for embedded systems, and PCBite magnetic probe holders as a practical hardware debugging tool. Also includes a Zephyr RTOS propulsion system demo built for the show, illustrating simulation-to-hardware workflows with a web-based GUI.
