- Public release of the Styx Emulator, designed for security research and debugging embedded systems.
- Features include built-in bug finding tools, gdbserver, high-performance tracebus, and Ghidra interop.
- Styx allows users to choose from multiple instruction execution backends and connect multiple processors and peripherals declaratively.
- Target users include those needing Harvard memory emulation, debugging embedded systems, or finding bugs in others' embedded systems.
- Written in Rust, Styx improves developer experience with better tooling and abstractions for emulation tasks.
- Supports multiple programming languages via bindings (Rust, Python, C).
- Core concepts include Machines, Processors, ProcessorCores, Peripherals, and Devices for emulation modeling.
- Roadmap includes multi-emulator orchestration, Android phone emulation, and more target support.
- Credits to Kudu Dynamics LLC and individual contributors for developing Styx.
- Community engagement through Discord, GitHub, Twitter, and Mastodon.
