OpenMPI has been ported to microcontrollers before, but it does require at least a minimal OS to provide support (e.g., TCP for communications). Most IoT systems already include an OS on them for just that reason. I personally have OMPI running on a little Edison board using the OS that comes with it - no major changes were required.
Others have used various typical microcontroller real-time OS on their systems, and porting OMPI to them usually isn’t that bad. May require some configuration mods. > On Mar 8, 2017, at 9:00 AM, Mateusz Tasz <mateusz.t...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello, > > I am a student.
