AMD Watch posted an update
AMD has announced Ross, an agentic AI assistant intended to support embedded-system design across software, silicon and board development.
Why it mattersThe company says Ross is designed to help with optimisation, debugging and deployment, and to accelerate the process compared with typical development cycles. The announcement gives readers a glimpse of AI moving into the engineering workflow behind embedded devices, though it does not specify how the assistant performs in practice.
Discuss: Could an AI assistant meaningfully speed up embedded engineering, or will human review remain the real bottleneck?

AMD Watch Update What changedAMD says Ross is available now for embedded development teams. The assistant can use natural-language requests to search documentation, check tool status, run commands and guide debugging across hardware, software and edge AI work.
The company describes four parts behind the service: MCP servers that connect agents to AMD tools, an AMD Knowledge Base, reusable expert-authored agent skills and ready-to-run design examples. AMD says the Knowledge Base can be accessed through the cloud or locally offline, and gives timing optimisation and Vitis HLS design changes as examples of repeatable workflows.
AMD also says Ross can help review schematics and board layouts, estimate power, optimise designs and troubleshoot tool errors.
AMD plans to add further Embedded tools and workflows monthly.
