TinyGo for Embedded Software Development

The document discusses using the Go programming language for embedded software applications. It introduces TinyGo, an open source project that compiles Go code to run on microcontrollers by using LLVM. TinyGo allows developing embedded software in Go and running it on microcontroller boards like the BBC micro:bit and Arduino Uno. A sample greeting program is shown and the TinyGo online playground is mentioned, though the speaker notes they were facing problems running programs on the simulator.

Go for Embedded Software?
Embedded Software
Embedded software is computer software, written to control machines or devices that are not typically
thought of as computers, commonly known as embedded systems. It is typically specialized for the
particular hardware that it runs on and has time and memory constraints.[1] This term is sometimes used
interchangeably with firmware.
A precise and stable characteristic feature is that no or not all functions of embeded software are
initiated/controlled via a human interface, but through machine-interfaces instead.[2]

Why Go?
● Speed of compiled language
● Easy to learn
● Easy to develop at system level
● Have a large library support
● Not depends on any VM or interpreters
Go Embedded Software Framework (TinyGo https://tinygo.org/)

TinyGo is a project to bring the Go programming language to

microcontrollers and modern web browsers by creating a new compiler
based on LLVM.

You can compile and run TinyGo programs on several different

microcontroller boards such as the BBC micro:bit and the Arduino Uno.

TinyGo Playground, cool stuff yet… (https://play.tinygo.org/)
Running on simulator (still facing problems….)
