Talk0: GRiSP - running Erlang and Elixir on real bare metal goes into the next round by Peer Stritzinger
Erlang languages have a lot of useful features to be used in embedded systems.
Create amazing Internet of Things designs without soldering or dropping down to C. Right out of the box Grisp-Base boots into Erlang VM running on real bare metal. It features on-board wireless networking 802.11b/g/n WLAN and connectors for standard PMOD sensor and actuator modules.
The GRiSP software stack and existing hardware board to quickly get started with building embedded systems are shown. Then we will give an outlook how the second version of the board custom made for Erlang and Elixir will be improved. This second version will not only support our GRiSP software stack but also will be capable to run Nerves the other embedded systems project in the Erlang Ecosystem.
