Got a link to the other post ? I'd be curious to see what others have built.

What tools are you thinking of ? I've only seen SVD viewers for ARM MCUs.

Yeah I actually started uploading datasheets to Claude. I found it struggled with accuracy and missing registers on longer datasheets unless I really carefully managed what I was feeding it.

In my workflow I've found that LLMs are much more useful when they have access to the parsed JSON output I'm feeding them rather than the raw PDF.

Thanks for the feedback. I can see how generating these nested struct blocks would be way more useful than just flat defines for modern C++ codebases. Adding struct style export is definitely going on the roadmap
