Your architect for building hardware.
Architon analyzes hardware architectures and flags system-level risks before prototypes. Focus: power collapse under peak loads, voltage-domain mismatches, and module ecosystem traps.
Above EDA tools: Architon does not replace ERC/DRC/SPICE. It verifies architecture reliability across subsystems.
$ rv scan my_project/
WARN PWR_BUDGET_SANITY_BOM
Estimated peak: 3.2A (servos + radio bursts + MCU)
Battery discharge is unspecified
Fix: set max discharge or choose a higher-current regulator/BEC
WARN I2C_CONFLICT_RISK
Two modules default to address 0x68
Fix: change address strap or place them on separate busesHow Architon works
Architon builds a hardware model and runs deterministic rules against it. Early versions start from project artifacts (like BOMs), then incorporate connectivity and rails as the model matures. Output is explainable and actionable.
Ingest
Read artifacts and normalize components. Recognize common modules. Surface unknowns you must specify.
Model
Build a system view: rails, loads, interfaces, constraints, and risk boundaries.
Verify
Run checks with clear remediation hints that map to real design decisions.
What Architon is and is not
Architon prevents common architecture failures. It does not claim to simulate everything or guarantee physics. It gives you faster, more reliable design decisions before board spins.
Architon is
- Power behavior under real loads (peak current, brownout risk).
- Module ecosystem compatibility (3.3V vs 5V, bus conflicts).
- Deterministic checks that fit into CI and review workflows.
Architon is not
- Not ERC/DRC (KiCad/Altium already do that).
- Not SPICE simulation setup.
- Not a hype-driven AI generates perfect boards demo.
