Cortx started as the tooling gap I could not ignore: after five years working on aerospace FADEC software and industrial controllers, I went from rich SCADE/NPSS visualizations to staring at UART logs in the dark.
On the LEAP engine FADEC program, SCADE and NPSS let me see everything: control laws, trim logic, thermodynamic models, all synchronized and explorable. When I shifted to microcontroller and RTOS firmware for industrial systems, that visibility vanished. Suddenly I was juggling UART logs, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers just to reconstruct what the code did.
Timing bugs disappeared as soon as I added printf statements. Hardware debuggers halted the system. Field issues meant shipping hardware back to the lab. I missed the real-time visualization and replay that made FADEC debugging intuitive and fast.
Cortx is the toolchain I wanted back then, local-first observability, multimodal ingest, deterministic replay, and remote control.μscope ships today. The rest of the EdgeOps roadmap is underway.
Stage 0 of EdgeOps. Professional serial visualization with multi-device support, real-time plotting, and operator-grade workflows. Available now for Windows, Linux, and Raspberry Pi.
Connect devices over WiFi, Bluetooth, MQTT, and CAN, push signed OTA updates with rollbacks, add LiDAR and camera visualization, and record synchronized sessions for replay.
Cloud dashboards, remote diagnostics, rollout policies, and on-device automation, so engineers can supervise fleets remotely while keeping local fail-safes and secure updates.
