Node.lua
Platform for Internet of Things with Lua. Modern IoT device embedded software development platform.
Node.lua is a framework for "Internet of Things" built on lightweight Lua interpreter and libuv for event driven (non-blocking I/O model) similar to node.js.
Using dynamic languages to develop embedded applications, you can focus on application logic, quickly respond to rapidly changing requirements, and implement faster functional iterations.
Features
- Use pure C language, easy to transplant, superior performance, flexible and compact
- Use mature frameworks like libuv
- Use simple and easy to use Lua as the application development language
- Use the same core API as Node.js
- provide a common extension of the library, and easy to expand on their own
- Specifically for embedded optimization, fast running, less space
Supported Platforms
Current supported platforms are Linux.
macOS & Windows as development host.
H/W boards
- Raspberry Pi
- Nano Pi
- MT7688
- Hi3516
