Exploring Trellis, an Open Source Hardware Platform for Nerves

This presentation at ElixirConf EU 2025 focuses on Trellis, a fully open-source hardware platform created for the Nerves ecosystem. It likens Trellis to an open-source Raspberry Pi but emphasizes its adaptability for creating custom circuit boards. The speaker explores the advantages of developing tailored hardware products and highlights the rapid prototyping capabilities that open source offers for embedded device development in Nerves and Elixir. The talk includes a live demonstration showing how straightforward it is to modify designs to produce custom circuit boards that can be assembled and shipped in just two weeks.
