Embedded drivers tend to be one-shot writes coupled tightly to the specific chip. The driver works on the eval board and breaks when the schematic changes for the next hardware rev. The driver works on the original MCU and has to be rewritten when the team switches part. The bus access is hardcoded so unit testing requires the actual hardware. Each of these is a structural choice the team made implicitly during the demo and pays for at productization.
The /volt-driver skill writes drivers with a HAL abstraction layer so the driver is portable across hardware revs and unit-testable on a host. I2C and SPI sensor drivers, BLE GATT services, MQTT clients, Modbus RTU handlers, each with the bus operations behind an interface and interrupt-driven I/O for performance.
What the driver includes
HAL interface for the bus operations (read, write, transfer). Interrupt service routine for non-blocking access. State machine for protocol handling. Error handling per response code. Unit tests against a mock HAL so the driver runs on a host without hardware. Documentation of the chip-specific commands implemented.
