Happy New Year! 2024 is here and we’re running NuttX on Single-Board Computers with plenty of RAM. Like Pine64 Ox64 BL808 SBC with 64 MB RAM!
In this article, we create a Blinky LED app with a Python-like, Garbage-Collected Language that compiles to C: Nim Programming Language. Garbage-Collected Languages (like Nim) require a bit more RAM than Low-Level Languages (like C). Perfect for our roomy (and vroomy) SBC! (1) We test NuttX + Nim Blinky on QEMU Emulator for 64-bit RISC-V (minus the blinkenlight) (2) Then we run NuttX + Nim Blinky on the Ox64 BL808 RISC-V SBC (with a real LED) Check out the article here: https://lupyuen.codeberg.page/articles/nim.html Lup
