Nerves

Craft and deploy bulletproof embedded software in Elixir

Host Requirements

• Mac OS 10.10+
• 64-bit Linux (tested on Debian / Ubuntu / Redhat / CentOS / Arch)
• Windows 10 with Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (experimental)
• Raspberry Pi 3 (experimental)
• Elixir ~> 1.9

See Installation Docs for software dependencies.

Quick-Reference

Generating a New Nerves Application

mix nerves.new my_app

Building Firmware

export MIX_TARGET=rpi3
mix deps.get      # Fetch the dependencies
mix firmware      # Cross-compile dependencies and create a .fw file
mix firmware.burn # Burn firmware to an inserted SD card

Note: The mix firmware.burn target relies on the presence of ssh-askpass. Some users may need to export the SUDO_ASKPASS environment variable to point to their askpass binary. On Arch Linux systems, this is in /usr/lib/ssh/ssh-askpass
