What's the latest with Erlang-Embedded?

Thanks.

Austin,

This mailing list and the Erlang-Embedded website have been dormant for years, I think. Despite this, quite a few companies are using Erlang on embedded devices. I don't think that they're very vocal about it, though.

To my knowledge, the open-source places to look at now are GRiSP and the Nerves Project. The latter being more focused on Elixir these days. Erlang also runs on Raspberry Pi and other hobbyist boards without much effort so that's another option.

Nerves Project looks very interesting but it is focused on Elixir. I am not ready to learn Elixir.

I am sure its possible to run an Erlang module on Nerves without much work. Anyways, is there an Erlang port of the Nerves libraries? 

Thanks.

BR,

Austin

Aside from WiFi, most of the Nerves runtime code wraps calls into
Linux to configure networking, update software images, etc. Mark
Sebald is an active Nerves/Erlang user who posts most of his code
online. His repositories may be helpful for getting started since the
Nerves docs assume Elixir. See the following repositories:

https://github.com/mdsebald/LinkBlox
https://github.com/mdsebald/nerves_link_blox

If you don't mind joining another Slack, Mark, myself and a few others
are in the #nerves channel on the elixir-lang slack. If you run into
problems, someone is usually around to help. See:

Thanks a lot Frank.

Hello Frank,

Have you considered integrating Nerves into an Ubuntu Core image or porting it to an Ubuntu Snap?
