Probes Docs

Overview

Probes is a developer tool for embedded engineering work in VS Code. It helps you turn board notes, build output, logs, and debugging context into a more repeatable workflow.

Use these docs when you want to:

  • start Probes from VS Code
  • connect your account session to the extension
  • understand the account setup step before VS Code runtime sign-in
  • send model requests through the Probes gateway
  • prepare an embedded board workspace before you ask for help

The docs are intentionally focused on public product usage: setup, account sign-in, model-gateway behavior, and embedded workflow practice.

Section titled “Recommended Path”
  1. Install the VS Code extension and complete browser sign-in.
  2. Confirm the account page shows billing, entitlement, and support state.
  3. Start the VS Code extension sign-in flow so runtime access is completed inside VS Code.
  4. Open a real firmware workspace with build scripts, board notes, and logs.
  5. Ask Probes to inspect one small task before widening the workflow.

Product Boundary

Section titled “Product Boundary”

Probes keeps account, billing, quota, runtime access, and audit state in Probes-owned services. Public docs describe how to use the product; they do not define operational authority or deployment state.
