This Week in Aiden Firmware: Making the Agent Easier to Actually Develop Against

:waving_hand: Quick update on what shipped in Aiden’s firmware this week. It is mostly developer-experience stuff, but genuinely useful if you’re building against the agent:

  • Native Anthropic support: pick Claude models right in the config page now, streaming + tool calls included
  • No hardware? No problem: new Docker sandbox lets you run Config Web + Agent Web without a dev board, connects to MobileGym/ADB
  • Two HDMI bridge chips supported (RK628D + TC358743), auto-detected, RK628D gets you up to 1080p60
  • Python packages now persist across sessions instead of disappearing every restart
  • Provider switching got smarter: remembers your last model, less manual config-syncing between LLM/TTS/STT

None of these are new agent behaviors, just a lot less friction if you’re actually building. Has anyone tried the Docker sandbox path yet?
