Erlang on Raspberry pi

[Stephen Pretty]

Congratulations, Omar, on your progress with getting Erlang running on
the Raspberry pi. The two videos are interesting.This is exactly what
I wanted to do with my pi (when I get it - June they tell me).

I would be interested to know a bit more about the software enviroment
you used on the pi.

1. Did you use of the Linux builds offered by the Rasperry pi team? If
so, which one. If not, which linux did you use?

2. Will you be making the Erlang build you have used available to the
public?

3. I think you are looking at a video with multiple pis, demonstrating
distributed concurrency next. I guess you will be doing this by
linking the boards via an ethernet hub. I assume only one pi will have
a monitor and keyboard. This "master" would use erlang to attach to
the erlang nodes on the slave pis. The master might not be a pi -
could be a PC or Mac. So for the slaves, we need an SD card build that
powers up linux without human interaction and then starts an erlang
node. Do you plan to make an SD build like that available for the pi?

Regards

Steve

Hi Stephen,

I just wanted to add that I have a bash script on github for creating a small Erlang release.
It contains some useful things for configuration of an Erlang release towards an embedded system.
