Bring Julia code to embedded hardware (ARM)

Specific Domains Maker
27

I am not sure if you have noticed that the latest Julia 1.2 has Linux Binaries for 32bit ARM.

I was interested to try to build and try some simple programs using Julia, and make some examples for others to use as templates (I haven’t seen any really).
I have an ARM Cortex A9 with Linux installed on it, and also an ARM Cortex M3 with FreeRTOS (installing Linux is also possible).

I want to experiment with

  • building executable
  • making lib/dll libraries.
  • Also as you know, a lot of the drivers and libraries are written in C, so we also can try embedding Julia in an already written C code (like writing the main computational function in Julia).
  • building on desktop (Windows, etc) for ARM.

I was wondering if anyone is interested to make a repository and try some examples for embedded programming. Let me know if you want to be involved.
