Add peripherals so Embedder can use the documentation for the parts on your board. Adding a part updates project context; ask separately for driver code, pin assignments, or a hardware test.
Add a catalog part
- Select your project and run
/peripheral.
- In My peripherals, choose Add peripherals.
- Search by part number or manufacturer and review the results.
- Select the fitted parts, then choose Add.
Review any preselected suggestions against the schematic and board revision. When names repeat, use the manufacturer and part details to select the intended row.
You can also ask in chat:
Use the picker when an exact part name is ambiguous.
Add a custom peripheral
If custom peripherals are available in your project, choose + Add a custom peripheral and select a PDF datasheet. Use the exact part number as the name.
In the VS Code form, each selected PDF creates a separate part. For one part with several reference documents, start with its main datasheet and attach the other documents separately. The terminal custom form can associate several PDFs with one named part.
If the PDF is already in the workspace, you can ask:
Include both the file and the part name. Attaching a document alone does not add a peripheral. If the custom action is unavailable, check with your project administrator.
Inspect or remove parts
Run /peripheral to see the current list and open available datasheets. Use Remove from project to remove a part from the project context.
Removing a peripheral does not remove its firmware driver. Ask for any corresponding code cleanup separately.
Verify before implementation
For board-level connections, use schematic references. Browse supported peripherals to find a part by category. Last modified on September 12, 2026
