Firmware moves faster than documentation. Integrators write their flight software from your ICD, and it fails on the real unit, late, during integration. Your engineers answer the same questions customer by customer, release by release.

01 — THE PROBLEM
Everything your customers build depends on your ICD being complete, unambiguous and current. In practice it is none of the three, and every integrator discovers the gaps on its own.
+
+
+
+
PAIN 01
The ICD you ship and the firmware you run rarely say exactly the same thing. Byte order, acknowledgement timeouts, mode behaviour or telemetry rates differ between the document and the real unit, and the ICD itself contains ambiguities and missing information.
+
+
+
+
PAIN 02
Firmware is released continuously. The ICD is revised by hand, occasionally. Every firmware change means another manual ICD revision, and the gap between what the unit does and what the document says grows with each release.
+
+
+
+
PAIN 03
Integrators write their flight software from the ICD. Because of its ambiguities and its gaps with the firmware, that software fails when connected to the real unit. The failure is found late, during integration, and the driver is rewritten.
+
+
+
+
PAIN 04
Each integrator hand-writes its own driver for your unit, interprets the same ICD differently and raises the same questions. Your engineers answer them customer by customer, release by release.
02 — THE SOLUTION
Lynapse™ Studio builds a digital model of your product’s interfaces directly from the firmware, keeps it in sync with every commit, generates the ICD from it, and shares it with your customers as a live digital contract. Integrators no longer work from a document; they work from a model of what your unit actually does.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
STEP 01 · CONNECT
Link your firmware repository to Lynapse™ Studio. AI reverse-engineers the code into an executable digital model of the unit’s interfaces: telemetry, telecommands, operating modes, timing, error handling and bus.
+
+
+
+
STEP 02 · INSPECT
AI flags ambiguities and conflicts in the model, such as mismatched timing or undefined behaviour. Your engineers inspect them, fix the firmware, and push a new version. The model is then approved.
+
+
+
+
STEP 03 · SYNC
From then on, each commit to the repository updates the digital model, and standardized ICD documentation is generated automatically for that version. The ICD can no longer drift from the firmware.
+
+
+
+
STEP 04 · CONTRACT
The digital model becomes the contract between you and your integrators. When you release new firmware, every connected customer receives the updated model at the same time, always matching your latest version.
+
+
+
+
STEP 05 · INTEGRATE
Integrators import your unit as a live virtual component and generate, for their own target platform: driver code, test cases, a simulator of your unit and flight software requirements.
+
+
+
+
STEP 06 · PUBLISH
Publish your unit to the Lynapse™ Cloud as a live virtual component, where integrators can find it and start using it immediately.
03 — BEFORE AND AFTER
Value on both sides of the contract. The ICD stops being a hand-maintained document and becomes an output of your firmware.
