Embedded Elixir

This guide provides steps to be followed when you upgrade your Nerves firmware project to a newer version of Nerves System.

Native Implemented Functions (NIFs) let you significantly speed up code or make system calls that would otherwise be unavailable. However, they come with a significant cost in that when they go wrong, they can take down the entire Erlang VM. This is particularly challenging when using NIFs with Nerves when crashes happen at boot time.

Having trouble debugging C code on Nerves? This post shows how to create, obtain and work with core dumps.

Want to look at and copy files on remote Nerves devices? This post shows you how using SSH.

Many home and office items use radio frequencies to communicate control. So naturally, lets take that over to control them from a single Nerves device with one wire on a GPIO pin.

Reading datasheets for fun and profit, or how I learned to stop worrying and convert analog signals into elixir terms.

Use Nerves and a little reverse engineering to control a motorized desk. Then intercept current height messages from the controller and publish to a Phoenix site for real-time desk height measurements…because #yolo.

Iterating quickly over code changes when working with new hardware can be tricky. Nerves has built-in mechanisms that can be helpful, but what if there were an even faster, more efficient way?
