digitalmars.D - Dlang for embedded: need real project

Hi!

Looks like druntime fork dedicated "to support almost any system" 
(https://github.com/denizzzka/druntime) works well with ARM 
Cortex-M3 backend! Almost all unittests is passed on QEMU 
emulated hardware (except threads and fiberes, see more: 
https://github.com/denizzzka/d_c_arm_test/issues/5)

So, it will be cool if some real project will have its firmware 
implemented on D!
ARM Cortex or MCU based on RISC-V is preferred, but another 
architectures is also appropriate.

Any ideas?

The PineTime[1] is one which is really inexpensive and has really fun proper use-cases. (Time & date, Bluetooth communication/integration with phone, heart rate measuring, etc.) I wanted to start on that a while ago but haven't gotten around to it yet. Now there is even OTA flashing shipped with the watch in the included (community) OS which makes it even easier as you don't need to get a flashing device + cable anymore. (It's very cheap, 15€ for one with integrated debugger by a big trusted company for open source/personal use, but putting the cable in the watch and flashing with it is kind of a pain) [1]: https://www.pine64.org/pinetime/

Only threads, fibers work like a charm!

Looks like what I am need, thanks!

I'm just in a hurry to share news: threads module just have started working and now druntime passes threads unittests on ARM Cortex-M3! It looks like this: $ qemu-system-arm -machine mps2-an511 -nographic -rtc clock=vm -icount shift=2 -semihosting -kernel firmware.elf unexpected pointers 0x2184e008 and 0x21865008 Not safe to migrate Fibers between Threads on your system. Consider setting version CheckFiberMigration for this system in thread.d 28 modules passed unittests $ There are a few more unfinished parts but they are not fundamental: - disabled demangle tests (demangle consumes huge memory amounts sometimes, https://github.com/dlang/druntime/pull/3262) - disabled some TickDuration tests - don't know how to fix it, but remember what TickDuration is deprecated - core.sync.condition is not implemented - more what is not used in current unittests but depends from OS (just errors is not triggered in this case) More info at: https://github.com/denizzzka/d_c_arm_test (look into "issues" section)

Good news! This fork of druntime at this moment started to run on real hardware with appropriate ARM Cortex backend! https://youtu.be/PE6pMUA0vNQ STM32F411CEU6 MCU is used (512kB of flash) $ size firmware.elf text data bss dec hex filename 256884 21012 2292 280188 4467c firmware.elf app.d is here: https://github.com/denizzzka/d_c_arm_test/blob/master/d/source/app.d Happy New Year!

Wait, what does this mean.. It's not betterC, so what can be used? Nice anyhow 👍

It is just "regular" druntime! Ok, this is druntime fork, with some additions to support ANY hardware/OS backend: https://github.com/denizzzka/druntime Looks like it is only remains to get rid of unnecessary RTTI.
