User defined apps for embedded devices?

element14Dave

Did you ever consider opening up your embedded platform and allow  users/partners to extend your firmware behavior with in-the-field downloadable apps? What would you use for that? Python? Java? Lua?

  • Hi Dave,

     

    As I understand, Lua would be useful for that. I know it is used in larger server software to provide on-the-fly programmable additions to the running software, but I imagine it would work well for embedded apps. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with Lua to know more in detail however :-( TCL can also be a nice alternative suitable for this (but might require more resources).
