The 18-Step Governed Hardware Pipeline
OmeraCode turns hardware intent into manufacturing-ready design artifacts through a governed 18-step workflow.
Each stage introduces structured checkpoints across schematic generation, firmware alignment, PCB layout, manufacturing validation, and final Evidence Pack export — without exposing proprietary solvers, implementation details, or project-specific validation rules.
Disclaimer // This page describes OmeraCode’s public engineering workflow at a system level. Proprietary solvers, implementation details, and project-specific validation rules are intentionally not disclosed.

Detailed Pipeline Map & Stages
Intent & Decomposition
Translate design intent into a structured technical plan.
Scaffold
Initialize project environment and standard layout templates.
Decompose
Translate raw specifications into functional blocks and logical boundaries.
Compose
Map functional blocks to physical pins, components, and connectivity netlists.
Design Review
Perform early schematic analysis and initial rule checks.
Schematic & Firmware Alignment
Keep electrical schematics, control configurations, and software assumptions aligned.
Netlist
Generate standardized KiCad netlists for schematic import.
Schematic
Draft complete KiCad schematics and schematic sheet documentation.
Firmware Sim
Compile driver code and run functional software simulation in virtual registers.
Layers
Establish board stackup, material cores, and board impedance constraints.
Layout Construction
Create physical board layout under size, space, and manufacturing constraints.
Sizing
Calculate baseline board area and physical dimensions for placement.
Place
Calculate component placement coordinate parameters.
PCB Assemble
Sync placement coordinates directly into KiCad layout sheets.
Route
Trace physical copper connections under safety and design constraints.
Zone Fill
Generate ground pours and power plane copper zones.
Validation & Manufacturing Gates
Run DFM/DRC validation and block releases for unready designs.
DFM Check
Run manufacturing clearance, annular ring, and fabrication checks.
Full Validate
Run KiCad DRC parser to trace layout errors against rules.
Mfg Gate
Assess manufacturing readiness and block releases containing violations.
Evidence Pack Export
Package design files, validation logs, and release certificates for review.
Export
Generate Gerber files, drilling files, and Pick & Place reports.
Evidence Pack
Compile design decisions, verification logs, and signing certificates.
Cross-Checks Across the Hardware Stack
OmeraCode is designed to reduce mismatch risk across schematic, layout, firmware, manufacturing rules, and final release evidence.
Schematic ↔ Layout Consistency
Helps confirm that the physical PCB implementation remains aligned with the intended electrical design.
Hardware ↔ Firmware Alignment
Helps detect mismatches between pin assumptions, peripheral configuration, and embedded control behavior.
Datasheet ↔ Design Rules
Supports structured review of component constraints against manufacturing and safety rules.
Engineering Governance Layer
Rigorous change controls and validation gates guard every step of the design compilation process.
Change Impact Review
Reviews configuration changes before they affect validated design workflows.
Confidence Gates
Stops low-confidence intermediate outputs from moving forward without additional review.
Waiver Ledger
Records approved engineering exceptions so manufacturing risks remain visible and auditable.
Simulation-Based Regression
Runs repeatable scenarios to test pipeline behavior across releases.
