Overview of Nerves Project Developments

Frank Hunleth's presentation at GigCityElixir 2023 focused on the Nerves Project and its recent developments. The talk highlighted the project's growth in the embedded systems domain and how Elixir, through Nerves, optimizes deployments on small, single-purpose hardware like the Raspberry Pi. He discussed various cores, libraries, and tools coming with nerves 2.0 versions that address previous challenges, for instance, the improved hardware watchdog handling with 'Nerves Heart', and the expandability of Elixir circuits beyond Linux systems. Furthermore, he introduced the machine learning possibilities with the nerves project and the use of Live Book for experimentation and development purposes. Lastly, he showcased the redesigned Nerves website aimed at helping beginners get started with nerves more conveniently.
