The WASI support in CPython has moved along very well and it is an early target via componentize-py[1]. Notes on WASI support in Python can be found in PEP 816[2]; CPython will be jumping from 0.1 to 0.3 (0.2 is adapted in componentize-py)

From my experience (from a few years back but still appears to be the case) is that Wind River is just wrapping Yocto these days. There could be value for some orgs where they don't have engineering teams if they do a contracting arra

The agnosticism may be refreshing for some use cases but for things like interoperable home automation the lack of an application layer associated with thread makes it useless to design into a product at this point as there is no real open

Awesome, I would love to see hear more about the approach you guys used for building base images with Yocto. I'm willing to give up a little elegance for control and reproducibility.

I have used Yocto for building a new of embedded Linux systems in production. I understand that Yocto is used for the resin hostOS images and Docker is used for the images run as containers. Is it possible or has any thought been put into

I am the author of one such library for the problem of writing parsers (particularly for binary protocols). The declaration of the protocol structures are separate from anything involving I/O. Not trying to push it too hard but it is

Very often. Vendors such as NXP/Freescale, TI, Intel (and Chinese manufacturers on top of MIPS) all tend to target Linux-first. For some drivers (e.g. wireless), you sometimes need to work directly with that vendor (Qualcomm/Bro

For safe, well-reviewed wrappers around libc (a different problem, but one which is more realistic to solve), I would encourage you to check out the nix crate (I am a maintainer -- the original author was Carl Lerche). It doesn't look

Is there a good way to look up no_std crates? For crates written with no_std, is there a keyword we should be tagging things with? I have several crates providing access to GPIO/SPI/I2C under Linux and would like to put together

Very cool. Any conclusions from the experiment? Disclosure: I'm the primary author/maintainer of suitcase ( https://github.com/digidotcom/python-suitcase ). In your example, you can shave off a line by doing

Here's the dataset they use. I have used this as part of developing and testing the fitness of recommender systems in the past: http://grouplens.org/datasets/movielens/ This predates some of my more recent w

I work for a wireless design services company. There is a large divide between using a Cellular module (e.g. Telit LE910) versus doing a chip-down Cellular design (e.g. Qualcomm/Infineon). This design has a module at its core. Module

This indeed would be very cool! Right now things work relatively well with the biggest pain being the acquisition of std for your target. If std and core could be made into first-class crates, then you could get rid of the need to find a p

A few points: * I don't think a few tens of bytes is realistic for a real application that needs to set up the stack, timers, and then blink some LEDs ( https://github.com/mcoffin/zinc/blob/new-build/

Yes, I believe so. The binaries I have built so far have been very small (<2KB for a blink example). mcoffin has a branch with SAM3x support, which appears to be the processor on the Due: https://github.com/mcoffin&#x2F

I think the better approach here is to phase out existing applications in chunks. You can link call rust code from C (when externed and rustc is told not to mangle) and C code from rust (via ffi). My experience with code automatically conv

That is the hope, since master is currently out of date. I have been working with Matt Coffin some on getting this working. Feel free to increase its chances of merging by helping us test any of the supported boards (Freescale K20, NXP LPC

Yes, it has been done before... But I don't think it has been done in an environment where you need to scale up quickly. They had a problem, they solved it in a very cool fashion using the best tool for the job (Erlang), they thought of a v

I think that the argument given could definitely be considered ad hominem, but as I read it definitely stuck out that a better examples of ad hominem could have been given (that has much less to do with the subject matter at hand). For inst
