Accelerating Hardware Development Using Nerves

In this session, Lars Wikman highlights the difficulties associated with IoT, Embedded Linux, and hardware development, such as lengthy lead times and inefficient update processes in production environments. He presents Nerves, an open-source framework for Linux devices designed to shorten development cycles and increase feedback. Utilizing innovations from Erlang, OTP, and BEAM, Nerves enables rapid iteration and hot updates, which are crucial for developers working in these fields. The session promises practical demonstrations showcasing how to effectively manage hardware development and firmware shipping.
