I understand that the various AI's have differences, and that the frequent crap answers I get from Google quick response and 'dive deeper' (Gemini 3.2 Pro), might not be the same as using Claude 4.n specifically to code.
I recently tried Claude for C++ coding for the first time ever, and while I was impressed, and it helped fix mistakes I made, I also helped fix mistakes Claude made. The only way I was able to do that was by having every bit of the code available to study (and I had told it the concept of the project, knowing exactly what I wanted, and had created similar thing 5 years ago, using Arduino - so I had very specific related knowledge).
So, I think your idea that AI could look at all code & reverse engineer seems like it could speed up the process, but I think you still need highly experienced coders with specialized background for each hardware device you are creating driver for, to review that code. Your AI might save them time.
Anyone have any guesses on how long it would take for a driver (pick one), with and without AI help ?
Is it hundreds or thousands of hours (for the difficult parts, like modem-radio) ?
I am asking because I have no idea ?
Also, is it possible to retain halium layer for modem-radio and other components for which there is no no kernel driver, but put simple things (I assume turning flashlight LED on & off & PWM for dimming would be easy) into kernel ?
Is that how it already IS being handled ? or does halium translate everything ?
