Espruino on Carambola2?

  • What would it require to run Espruino on the Carambola 2?
    I'm considering ordering one after I saw Espruino run on the first Carambola. I guess one could even run NodeJS on it:
    CPU
    AR9331, 400 MHz
    Memory
    16 MB Flash and 64 MB DDR2 RAM
    Power
    3.3 V, power consumption 0.5W!

  • Espruino should just run on it - all you need is to set up a cross-compilation environment (the Carambola site has info on this) and then to compile Espruino with CARAMBOLA=1 make.

    If you can get GCC running on the Camabola then it should be even easier as you can just compile on the device itself.

    There may be a version of Node.js for Carambole 2 - I'm not sure. I know that Node's RAM/Flash requirements are pretty high but they might have managed to squeeze it in.

    Espruino does have built-in GPIO support though - so you can at least use digitalRead/Write and setWatch on it :)
